History:
(New Excalibur#14 (fb)) – Shortly after the demon Cyttorak formed the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak from his own heart, it was transported to a Korean village outside of Cyttorak’s Temple. There it was found by a villager cutting green beans and when he touched the Crimson Gem, the man was buried in an immense cave-in. Shortly after, the ground began to rumble and the man emerged from the cave-in as the Juggernaut.
Comments: Created by Frank Tieri, Jim
Calafiore,
and Mark McKenna.
There was an
elderly woman in the
modern day who was terrified of Cain Marko’s trek through her Korean
village.
She greatly resembles a terrified younger
woman who was present when this unidentified Juggernaut first merged
from the
cave-in. If these two women are the same person, then that would place
this
unidentified Juggernaut as active somewhere between that woman’s
lifetime, so we
would be looking at most likely the Pre-Modern era, as the woman looked
to be
in her late 30s-early 40s (she was not gray-haired yet, but had a few
small
facial wrinkles) when the unidentified Juggernaut emerged from the
cave-in and
was elderly (gray-haired, many facial and hand wrinkles) when Cain
Marko
returned to the Temple in the modern day.
The main image was the
best image
available of the man as the Juggernaut. Once armored up, he was only
seen from
behind or the tip of his helmet emerging from the ground.
