I doubt he could considering Juggernaut's a mystically-endowed entity. Since Galactus isn't a magically-oriented entity I doubt he could empower Juggernaut with the Power Cosmic as his herald (Morg's augmentation after gaining the PC was by a supposedly mystical pool and the having of the PC doesn't inherently prevent you being affected by outside sources otherwise Doom wouldn't have been able to steal it from the Silver Surfer). Juggernaut's powers protect him from all harm and I don't think he can drop the shielding influence enough to allow his body to be modified to have the Power Cosmic as well.

I doubt Galactus would end up in conflict with the Celestials over something like that, either because as a celestial being whose purpose is to consume worlds they'd defer to him even if it cost them an experiment or he'd simply avoid a world they were in the middle of judging.

The Destroyer's a special case, as it's powers include powers similar to a herald (like Life Detecton) and allowed Galactus to use it to conserve his energies. Juggernaut on the other hand can't be boosted in power by granting him the power cosmic so he couldn't hunt out worlds for Galactus and for all his power he couldn't subjegate a world in a reasonable amount of time to suit the needs of Galactus without the power cosmic.

What If Spider-man had become Carnage? In this reality, during the battle between Spider-man, Venom, Styxx, and Stone, Spider-man is cut open. When Styxx drains the symboite, and the battle is ended, the symbiote unwittingly spawns as Spider-man holds it. This is the spawn would become Carnage, and it immediately slither's into Spider-man's blood to mature and bind with him, as it would have done with Cletus Kassidy. In this way, we can have a symbiote powered Spider-man that can't/won't kill him, and that he can't just get rid of.

What if Spider-man was unable to rid himself of being the Spider-Hulk? In the reality you know, a 2 part story happened in Web of Spider-man in which he was given the Hulk's power, and became a "Spider-Hulk." However, in this reality, the device that would have taken the powers away is destroyed far too early, leaving Spider-man trapped with a rampaging goliath alter ego. What happens if the Spider-Hulk becomes to the Hulk, what Spider-man is to ordinary men? Who and what could possibly stop him?

What if the Black Cat had become Venom? When Spider-man breaks up with Felicia, she is even more hurt and angry than she was in the regular universe. Because of this, the rejected symbiote seeks her out, and bonds with her. As two beings scorned, they attack and trash Spidey. Unfortunately, this new Venom doesn't entirely blame Spider-man for the break up...she blames Mary Jane! What happens when she decides to kill the woman that "stole her man?"

Here's a particularly evil one; What-If Hybrid had defeated Rom and successfully used Mystique, Rogue, and Destiny as breeding stock for a new race serving him?

I'm not familiar with this piece of comic history. Sounds interesting but you'll have to fill me in a bit.

Hybrid was the male child of a dire wraith and a human female. He'd actually fallen in love with her and left his people's evil ways but unfortunately they learned of the child and he was too weak-willed to resist them teaching the child magic and corrupting him. By the time he was a young boy he was totally evil and eventually killed his mother by aging her to death and his father with a pitchfork shortly after Rom showed up. Only the intervention of the X-men helped him defeat Hybrid by Neutralizing him (actually Kitty Pryde did using his neutralizer but suffered terrible burns to her hands as a result of its defense systems).

Hybrid later reformed and tricked the female members of the Brotherhood of Evil into helping him but when Rom showed up they eventually realized just how evil Hybrid was and helped Rom destroy him again (Rogue suffered the most as she had to drain some of Hybrid's power so Rom could neutralize him). But what if they learned too late and Rom had been defeated?

I see.....hmmm.....

Well is there something special about Rom that another hero couldn't eventually show up and defeat Hybrid? He is powerful, I know, but there are many powerful characters who could maybe aid in this situation. But your question was: What If? they learned to late and Rom had been defeated. So I'll have to leave the response up to someone who knows this story arc better than I.

Since a what-if is centered around a single point of divergence (at least that's supposed to be the premise) this what-if focused on the point in time when all these individuals crossed paths. With Rom out of the picture at that point Hybrid as victor would have taken the female members of the Brotherhood as breeders with no one else the wiser since it was an isolated event. Even if someone found Rom's remains as a cyborg the odds of anyone getting information out of them as to what happened would be slim to none. It could result in a human race dominated by the children of Hybrid.

What If Magneto had become Captain America?

During World War II, Bucky Barnes never learns that Steve Rogers is Captain America. So instead, a solo Cap adventures alone, and uncovers the Nazi death camp where young Eric Lesherr is being held. Cap invades the place, rescuing everyone there. Unfortunately he was too late to rescue Eric's parents, and in his sorrow for the boy, takes him under his wing and trains him to become his partner, teaching him patriotism from America and filling him with ideals and hope.

Later, Captain America tries to defuse a missle heading for allied forces. Eric unwittingly uses his magnetic power to defuse the thing, but Cap plunges into the icy Atlantic...leaving behind only his sheild. Anguished over the loss of his mentor, Eric takes up the sheild and developes his powers...helping the allies win the war.

"Human beings hate and fear what they don't understand" but humans LOVE things that bring them conquest and victory. Captain America/Magneto exists in a world where mutants are seen as wonderful heroes and weapons. He is disturbed to find that a "superiority complex" is risig among his fellow mutants, and that perhaps the ideas of Nazism are reviving...

That is a really cool What If?

Eric would make a powerful Captain America, especially once his powers manifested fully. He could do some awesome things with the shield. Although his powers are so potent he may eventually outgrow it's use.

So what happened to Bucky? ;-)
