After chatting with a fellow OPL co-worker, I was informed that the term "Juggernaut" has a double meaning. According to Marvel comics there is a villain called "The Juggernaut." This post is a Tribute to "The Juggernaut." My inner nerd unleashed.
The Juggernaut (Cain Marko) is a fictional character that appears in publications published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in X-Men #12 (July 1965), and was created by writer Stan Lee and artist/co-plotterJack Kirby.
Debuting during the Silver Age of Comic Books the character has appeared in over four decades of Marvel publications, featuring prominently in the X-Men titles and starring in two one-shot solo publications.

The character debuted as an antagonist of the titular mutant superhero team in X-Men #12-13 (July-Sept. 1965). In the first of these issues, he rampaged unseen throughout the X-Men's headquarters as the team's leader, Professor X, related the character's origin in flashbacks.
