InKid Juggernaut : Marvel ’s Infinity Voices#1 by Emily Kim and Minkyu Jung , lecturer are shownthe origin of Justin Jin aka Kid Juggernaut . Justin is basically an average teen . He works at his mom ’s bakeshop , he ’s accentuate about school , and he ’s more focused on a potential relationship with a guy he likes than anything else . However , there is something decidedly unique about Justin : he has insane muscle raft . Justin writes it off as a puberty - induced ontogeny spurt , but the truth is thathe inherit the power of the Juggernaut .
Justin Jin ’s gramps , Jin Taiko , once wielded the power of the Juggernaut . Before Cain Marko , Jin Taiko was Cyttorak ’s avatar on Earth , spreading chaos in the devil - god ’s name . This clear Justin ’s claim on the Juggernaut claim implausibly unequalled , as he did n’t become the Juggernaut by holding the Crimson Gem and pledging his eternal loyalty to Cyttorak , he inherited the Juggernaut ’s otherworldly power from his grandfather .

Cain Marko Murdered Justin Jin’s Grandfather to Become the Juggernaut
New Excalibur#15 by Frank Tieri and Jim Calafiore
As shown inNew Excalibur#15 , the process Cain Marko run through to become the Juggernaut was n’t as simple as holding a mystical treasure and match to be a monster - god ’s embodiment on Earth . Marko had to first shoot down the old Juggernaut in battle in purchase order to earn the championship and the tycoon for himself . And that previous Juggernaut was Jin Taiko , Justin Jin ’s granddad .
Cain Marko fight Jin Tiako and mutilate him , thereby claiming his part as the domain ’s next Juggernaut - but it did n’t stop there . The understanding Cyttorak was in the market for a fresh Juggernaut is that Taiko decline to slaughter a village full of innocent men , women , and children after being ordered to do so by Cyttorak . Once Taiko was dead , Cain Marko had no such reservations , proving his newfound loyalty to Cyttorak by wiping out the whole village .
Kid Juggernaut Could Make Cain Marko Pay for His Past Sins
Not only did Cain Marko kill Justin ’s grandfather just for the interest of top executive , but he also murdered an entire small town filled with people that Justin ’s granddaddy was trying to protect . Like his grandfather , it ’s probable that Justin will use his Juggernaut powers in an effort to defend the ingenuous , but before he commits himself to being a hero , it ’s also potential that Justin will search vengeance against Marko . The two are connected through a truly dark past , and Justin may become Cain Marko ’s ultimate reckoning .
Of course , now that Marko is a hero , it ’s also probable that the inherently skilful Justin Jin will forgive him for what he did to his grandfather , thus allow Marko to finally rule true redemption for his ugly past . But , whether their paths cross through pardon or payback , nothing will modify the fact that Marvel ’s newJuggernauthas the darkest possible connexion to the original .
