I just turned 40 in February and your show on KZbin helped me get thru the last 12 months from my first surgery on my foot in may to my second surgery in November when I lost my job and the recovery afterwards my family smile that we have comics stories that my mom and dad left me from there collection from the 70’s and 80’s marvel comics and you help me catch up were I was bridging the gap with you.

Funny Fact is that Cyttorak does not want to sit in TOBA’s Chair along with all the other wannabe Satan’s

[@MsShySkye]

I don't know how much history you could draw on for these characters but can you do the other 7 magical beings that were with Cyttorak when they made their wager? Balthakk, Farallah, Ikonn, Krakkan, Raggadorr, Valtorr and Watoomb. Could you do an character explanation video on them?

[@antwan1357]

Finally! I've been waiting for someone to make this forever . Most content makers say lack of content . But even without Cyttorak showing up he is in the background working . i mean how many millions of times have any magic user casted "The Crimson Bands of Cyttorak" . Not to mention , the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak. Dr Strange is linked to him nonstop .

[@joeyoung6435]

I never understood y they never tied Cyclops aand Cyttorak together. It would be a viable (cuz, comics) explanation for his powers and would add another layer the Juggernaut's connection to the Xmen

[@unkown981]

Nah wouldent work

[@stepheng6349]

Would be cool to see the Octessence be used as the antagonist in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch bounce between 8 demon realms trying to protect Earth from their multiversal war, similar to how in the first film Doctor Strange was trying to keep Dormammu at bay. Could directly lead into Juggernaut attacking the X-men to get revenge of his brother.

[@debojitadhikari187]

Strange basically worships octessence for magic

LOL. "Syd Iraq" is pretty great, tho. Reminds me of the "Low Key" tee-shirt Loki wears through part of _Young Avengers_ volume 2.

[@anxioustoad174]

I would really love to see Marvel expand upon the Juggernaut mythos, by reintroducing the seven other demon lords and subsequently their champions

[@Dissection39]

I have always found Juggarnaught and his Deity Cyttorak fascinating. Especially the fact that in his own realm, Cyttorak is the ultimate power completely, (exception One Above All obviously.) And it creates a really interesting dynamic when any other challengers enter the fray, because if the opponent is in the Crimson Realm, well the answer is simple, Cyttorak is omnipotent and all powerful in his personal universe, period. Cyttorak wins. These simple power structures, I really enjoy reading about. That, and Cyttorak and Juggernaut are both badasses.

[@jlee6823]

What if Thanos with infinity gauntlet enters Cyttorak's realm and challenges him?

[@That80sGuy1972]

@@jlee6823 Thanos, by leaving the realm the infinity stones are native to, would effectively have no infinity stones until he somehow goes back (not easy with the gauntlet then being useless). Cyttorak would smear him.

[@StrangeMusicVegan]

dissection39 those bands Dr. Strange in endgame were cyytorak imo this linking the x men to the MCU.

[@vincegray7206]

Cyttorak and Satannish fought each other in Dr Strange, it didn’t say who won but Satannish went on to fight Galactus after that....and Galactus ate him. Galactus also shattered Cyttorak’s bands, I don’t think Cyttorak is all he’s cracked up to be. And what Rob missed is that Colossus DIDNT have ALL of Pheonix power, only 1/5th of it, even Cyttorak said this. It might have been different if Colossus had 100% of Phoenix power, I think Pheonix can defeat Cyttorak.

[@Dissection39]

@@vincegray7206 I'm not the most knowledgeable about Phoenix, but I'm certain that it has limits in any universe it occupies, Cyttorak in his own universe has no limits whatsoever. So that's my answer to that.

[@rac2300]

@@imgrindin That was one writer who said that, because they didn't do enough research first. Happens all the time in comics. The Crimson Cosmos isn't a realms of hell and Cyttorak doesn't hang out there. There's panels of it being mentioned that Cyttorak was a contender for the throne of Hell but, again, he has an aspect that's a Demon Lord. i believe that same panel also said that Dormmamu and Shuma-Gorath were Demon Lords too which we know they're not.

[@Odinfang]

I’ve recently brainstormed a variant of iron man that’s gotten his hands on the crimson gem of Cyttorak: Iron Juggernaut. He uses the gem as a perpetual motion machine in his chest that powers his armor and weaponry with unstoppable power. He continues being a weapons dealer, fulfilling his role as Cyttorak’s avatar creating weapons of mass destruction that can be bought by heroes and villains alike, but if he feels like a deal has been dishonored, he’ll crush those whove done it. Plus, with the inherent power the gem grants, Tony can build new inventions with more time on his hands and not even need to take breaks. I believe this Tony would engineer ways to use the gem’s power sort of like starship hulk’s mental engine banner used, but with less mental turmoil and more genius engineering.

Ok so does this mean the Juggernaut isnt a mutant? Also what is the defining variable that separates superhumans (ie the Avengers) from mutants (ie the X-Men)?

Juggernaut as Cain Marko was never a mutant. A mutant can become the Juggernaut but Cain is not one, no. Also for your other question. Mutants are born and contain the X gene, it's what defines them as mutant. People, say like Spider-man are sometimes referred to as mutates. Meaning even though it was biological you got your powers from outside means. There are instances of mutate parents having mutant children though, most famously is Franklin Richards.
