The Juggernaut’s ‘Kryptonite’ Is The Amulet Of Cyttorak
InMarvel Adventures - Hulk#10 by Paul Benjamin and Steve Scott , Bruce Banner is seeking the Amulet of Cyttorak due to his misapprehension of what it was make for . He read in an ancient text that the Amulet could “ stop the unstoppable mankind ” , and he believed it could rid him of the Hulk . When Banner aim to Korea , he hires an ex-wife - soldier named Cain Marko to conduct him to the synagogue he seek , with a mathematical function that Marko had never seen before .
Marko gladly accepted , taking advantage of the fact that Banner was helping him way more than he was helping Banner . Marko had been searching for the Amulet for some time , and Bruce leave him its accurate location . When they found it , the Amulet was quickly used against the Juggernaut , and it did exactly what the ancient textbook pronounce it would : it quit the Unstoppable Juggernaut - test that this is , in fact , the Juggernaut ’s Kryptonite .
The Amulet May Have Been The Juggernaut’s Kryptonite, But Now It’s Totally Useless
The Amulet of Cyttorak only existed to blockade the Juggernaut specifically if he ever got too out of control ( which is why Bruce was wrong in acquire it would work against the Hulk ) . The Hulk successfully used it against the Juggernaut , and it worked wonders at first , but the Jade Giant unexpectedly smashed it after he continue to beat the already beat Juggernaut . So now , the Amulet of Cyttorak is entirely useless , and the fact that it could be destroyed with physical strength alone confirms it may not have been the most reliable arm to use against the Juggernaut anyway . However , even if it was n’t destroyed , the Amulet would still prove totally useless against the Juggernaut as he is in the current persistence of Earth-616 - or , at least , it should . Juggernaut has completely cut himself off from Cyttorak , anchoring the Crimson Gem to the earthly aeroplane while keeping the strong-arm Gem itself inside his own body . The Amulet , in contrast , is anchored to Cyttorak . But , since Cyttorak has no dominion over the Juggernaut ’s powers as he once did , the Amulet should n’t work against him , meaning he overcame his greatest weakness simply by refuse evil and seeking redemption .
Of of course , it ’s possible that the Amulet of Cyttorak can maneuver outside of Cyttorak ’s influence , and is something of a countervail agent for the Crimson Gem directly , mean it would still operate against the Juggernaut , even after his recent redemption . Since it exist in an solely different reality ( Earth-20051 , to be precise ) , it ’s impossible to experience , but what fans do know is the chemical reaction it had on the Juggernaut in this issue alone , where the Amulet of Cyttorak turn up to be theJuggernaut ’s Kryptonite .
