Man-Thing, Cyttorak detected Cain Marko's presence and granted him the powers of Juggernaut once again. Avatars of Cyttorak First Avatar Jin Taiko Jin Taiko was Cyttorak's avatar before Cain Marko. When Taiko refused to destroy a village at the behest of Cyttorak, the ruler of the Crimson Cosmos and the supplier of Taiko's powers took his powers away until Cain Marko eventually found the gem and took over as Cyttorak's new avatar. Cain, as the new Juggernaut, faced and killed Jin Taiko, burning the village to the ground. Second Avatar Cain Marko During the Korean War, an American soldier named Cain Marko hid in a cave to avoid an attack by the enemy.

Also, Marko, unlike the other Exemplars when they were created, did not initially lose his will to his power source, but retained his full individuality. In an Infinity War crossover, Doctor Strange travels through the dimensional corridors with Galactus and other allies. One of many anomalies drew their spaceship into conflict with Cyttorak. Galactus' ally Nova is captured by the entity; he desires worship. Juggernaut had been transported to Cyttorak's dimension and awoke to find Doctor Strange surrounded and nearly impaled by crimson crystals. Juggernaut uses his power to destroy the ever-growing crystals and saves Dr. Strange from certain death. Strange had summoned Juggernaut due to his
