<img src="http://comixfan.com/xfan/images/headshots/mc2/j2.jpg" align=left alt="J2">Real Name: Zane Yama
First Appearance: <i>What If...? (2nd series) #105</i> (cameo), <i>J2 #1</i> (fully)
Known Relatives: Cain Marko (Juggernaut, father), Sachi Yama (mother)
Group Affiliation: A-Next
Known Allies: X-People, Wild Thing, Magneta
Major Enemies: Nemesus, Rollerblast, Enthralla, Parody, Big Julie, Buffer Zone
Young Zane Yama discovered that he had inherited the powers of his father, the unstoppable Juggernaut, after an encounter with school bully Miller Hallendale. These powers, gained from the mystical Ruby of Cyttorak, imbue the wielder with vast strength and durability. Through an act of will, Zane can transform himself into the hulking powerhouse known as J2, and back again.
A member of the next generation of Avengers known as A-Next, J2 was also offered membership with Jubilee's Uncanny X-People but turned them down, albeit remaining friends with the team. J2 was also offered by Magneta, the self-styled mistress of magnetism, to join a new team she was forming, but he also turned down that offer.
J2 learned of the reason behind his father's disappearance from Cyclops, leader of the X-Men, and with the aid of the Sorceror Supreme Doc Magus, J2 eventually located and rescued his father, who was being held prisoner by the sinister Nemesus in an alternate dimension.
<img src="http://comixfan.com/xfan/images/headshots/mc2/zaneyama.jpg" align=right alt="Zane Yama">J2 later proved himself worthy of wielding his father's powers, and the Juggernaut announced his retirement, allowing his son to carry on his legacy.
Although not as indestructible as his father, Zane still has enhanced strength and durability, so much so that he has managed to stand toe to toe with the likes of the Hulk. J2 is also granted a heightened resistance to psionic powers thanks to his father's mystically enchanted helmet.
