Christopher Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Re: Need another name for Juggernaut... Giant / GiGant (from gigantic) Giant Ant (ca. lift x times his weight - and he is heavy) Titan Or just plunder the Giant-based-mythology for names. Also interesting: Olympic class ocean liner (the 2 of 3 ships sank, gues wich one was the first^^) After remembering the Olympic class, one comes up too: Iceberg / Eisberg (German).

DusterBoy Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Re: Need another name for Juggernaut... How about "Storm" for a name? As in "to storm a place"? Or "Jaggannath", an idol of Krishna which was wheeled on a cart, under which devotees threw themselves to be crushed? And of course, which inspired the word juggernaut. Or "Onslaught"?

Escafarc Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Re: Need another name for Juggernaut... Or "Onslaught"? Then you could have it revealed that Onslaught is really a hero mentalist who went bad, Then you could reboot all the heroes that he kills.

Mathew Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Re: Need another name for Juggernaut... One online thesaurus gave me "Steamroller". The word actually comes from the hindi Jagannath, which is an aspect of Vishnu. So about about "Vishnu"? An online translater said "Moloch" is German for Juggernaut. Italian is "Colosso."

assault Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Re: Need another name for Juggernaut... The word actually comes from the hindi Jagannath' date=' which is an aspect of Vishnu. So about about Vishnu?[/quote'] 1. Hinduism is a major world religion. A billion or so people regard Vishnu as an actual deity. 2. Vishnu isn't particularly associated with destruction. In the Trimurti concept, Shiva is the destroyer, but I wouldn't use Shiva either. On a more useful note: Titan (already suggested, so consider this seconding the motion.) Mammoth Rhino Stampede Behemoth (once again, a seconding.) Actually, yes, I'd go with Behemoth. EDIT: Extra stuff from Mathew An online translater said "Moloch" is German for Juggernaut. Interesting. Different terms with somewhat similar, although not identical implications. No wonder translating from one language to another is such a tricky thing. I wouldn't use Moloch in this situation, though.

Folded Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Re: Need another name for Juggernaut... Roller might work, from the steamroller comment. Tectonic, from plate tectonics. Hey, you try stopping a continent from going where it wants. There's the old joke about 'where does an 800 pound gorilla sit? Anywhere he wants to". 800, Gorilla or Anywhere might be references to that. Relentless There's The Limper, from the Black Company books. He was in many ways similar to Juggernaut, although he was also Full of Fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcw43921 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Re: Need another name for Juggernaut... I like Onslaught. Devastator is good too. There's also Giganti-Man, which I like for a hero name. Mr. Massive is good for a Silver Age/Astro City themed universe. Hope those help.

Bloodstone Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Re: Need another name for Juggernaut... Cain Marko! Duh! The guy has a public ID and everything... Of course, the Juggernaut was an irresistible force. Science tells us there is no such thing, but reality shows us that there is. It's called Gossip, and once it starts moving nothing can stop it...
