The Juggernaut!

The coolest and best super villain of all time is the Juggernaut. By definition the word juggernaut is any large, overpowering, destructive force or object, as war, a giant battleship, or a powerful football team. That is already cool! Honestly, he is indestructible and runs through anything. It takes all of the X-men to take him down just through taking of his helmet and sedating him through telepathy. I have always wanted to be muscular and he is the ultimate definition of being ripped. He may not be the smartest of the super villains, but that is why others do the thinking and he just follows through on the action end. If I ever needed a bodyguard, he would make the perfect one because he can literally take on an army. In fact, in many of the episodes and comics, he destroys tanks and infiltrates high security buildings with just brute force. He even looks like a bullet and has fists the size of sledgehammers. I am surprised he has an outfit because he is so large, but I guess that is why it is so tight.

Unfortunately, in the X-men movies, he was not as well portrayed as the villain he should be. The costume looked awful mostly because of the helmet. He had all the strength to beat down the X-men, but was getting defeated time after time and made a fool of by even the weakest X-men. I think they could have done a much better job in portraying the amazing villain that was created by the Marvel comics. No one will ever be able to reproduce any character as cool or as powerful as the Juggernaut. He is the ultimate being in the most simplistic form. Some people may talk of super heroes like Venom from spiderman or the evil genius Lex Luther from Superman, but they got nothing when it come down to the indestructible force that is the Juggernaut.

Drake, I think this is a very interesting topic that you decided to write on. I am now beginning to realize the importance of learning another language. I have experienced first hand what it is like to work with people who do not speak the same language. I have worked in the restaurant setting for almost three years now. The majority of the employees who work in the kitchen do not speak English. The Spanish that I have learned for over 6 years, is not enough to get me by to have a normal conversation with the Spanish-speaking workers.

Since I have seen how difficult it is to communicate with non-English speaking people, I have decided to continue my Spanish classes here at Wesleyan. I don’t think many employers can afford to hire interpreters. Over the next few decades, I think employers will start to only look for employees who can speak another language.
