History:
(New Excalibur#15 (fb)
– BTS) – Jin Taiko became the
Juggernaut when he was chosen by Cyttorak to become Cyttorak’s avatar.
As the
Juggernaut, Jin served Cyttorak for decades until the day came when
Cyttorak ordered
Juggernaut to raze his own village to punish the village for
worshiping others
over Cyttorak. Jin refused.
(New Excalibur#15 (fb))
–
Confronted by a disloyal avatar, Cyttorak led Cain Marko into the
Temple of
Cyttorak in Korea and when Cain touched the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak, he
earned
the right to challenge Jin Taiko for the Juggernaut mantle. Jin and
Cain
furiously battled until Cain broke Jin’s neck, killing him and assuming
the
mantle of the Juggernaut. As Cyttorak’s new avatar, Cain Marko razed
Jin Taiko’s
village.
