JUGGERNAUT LIFTED A HAMMER AND BECAME KUURTH, BREAKER OF STONE!

The Featured Fact

Thor has Mjolnir. In Fear Itself #2 (2011), the Juggernaut got a hammer of his own. Cain Marko was doing work-release with Luke Cage's Thunderbolts, locked up on the Raft, when one of the seven hammers of the Serpent - Odin's exiled brother, the Asgardian god of fear - crashed into the prison. Cain picked it up and was possessed and transformed into Kuurth, Breaker of Stone, one of the Serpent's Worthy.

Kuurth was Juggernaut squared: Cyttorak's unstoppable avatar wearing a second god's armor, with glowing runes, a colossal hammer, and one strike strong enough to split the Raft open (Thunderbolts #158, 2011). He marched across the Midwest spreading fear while the Thunderbolts tried - and failed - to reach the man inside the possession.

The possession cost him more than the fight. When the Worthy fell, Cyttorak judged Cain for serving another god - and transferred the Juggernaut power to Colossus. Cain had been deemed worthy by the Serpent, and unworthy by his own patron. It took years before Cain Marko wore the crimson bands again.

Why It's Obscure

Fans know the meme - nothing stops the Juggernaut. In 2011 Marvel asked the better question: what happens when two gods are powering him at once, and they disagree?

2011

Fear Itself #2 (Matt Fraction and Stuart Immonen) - a hammer levels part of the Raft; Juggernaut lifts it and becomes Kuurth, Breaker of Stone, then destroys the Raft with a shockwave strike.

Roster

The Worthy: Hulk as Nul, Thing as Angrir, Titania as Skirn, Absorbing Man as Greithoth, Attuma as Nerkkod, Grey Gargoyle as Mokk - and Juggernaut as Kuurth.

T-Bolts

Thunderbolts #158-161 - Kuurth advances on Chicago; the Thunderbolts enter Cain's mind and are driven out by Kuurth's spiritual avatar, though something in Cain diverts the march.

The price

CBR: the possession held grave consequences - Cain lost the blessing of Cyttorak, and Colossus claimed the Juggernaut powers in his place.
