He first appeared in person in Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme #44 (August 1992; written by Roy Thomas and drawn by Geof Isherwood).

Approximately one thousand years ago, Cyttorak builds a temple in Asia while competing with Balthakk, Farallah, Ikonn, Krakkan, Raggadorr, Valtorr, and Watoomb.

Shortly after the "Maximum Carnage" storyline, Spider-Man encounters two malevolent demons who claim to be Cyttorak's Familiars while investigating the ruins of Doctor Strange's townhouse.

A poor farmer from Korea, Moon-ho came across an abandoned temple of Cytorrak after fleeing from bandits and encountered the Gem of Cyttorak, turning him into the Juggernaut.

Moon-ho dropped his Korean name, renamed himself "Taiko" and followed Cyttorak's command to help the Japanese colonize Korea.

[11] Due to Moon-ho's service with the Japanese, he was branded as a traitor by his fellow countrymen and his family was shunned, causing his son Jin Jong-Wu to resent him for many years and refusing to take the powers of the Juggernaut himself after inheriting a shard of the Gem of Cyttorak.

[12] During the Korean War, an American soldier named Cain Marko hid in a cave to avoid an attack by the enemy.

A fellow soldier, his stepbrother Charles Xavier, followed him in to convince him to rejoin the battle and avoid a court-martial (the inevitable result if his actions were to reach the attention of the commanding officers).

He picked it up, despite Xavier's warning, to read the now famous inscription: "Whosoever touches this gem shall possess the power of the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak!

No other Exemplars would appear until years later, after the Juggernaut had clawed his way through the rubble, made his way to America, and battled the X-Men led by Xavier several times.

Juggernaut had been transported to Cyttorak's dimension and awoke to find Doctor Strange surrounded and nearly impaled by crimson crystals.

Just as Doctor Strange convinced Cyttorak to let them go, Juggernaut attacked the entity, knocking him down and taking the gemstone from his forehead.

Finally, with Cyttorak in his weakened state, Nova is able to escape from the crimson bands that were holding her prisoner and able to blast the ruby right out of Juggernaut's hands.

Strange then uses his magic to place the ruby back into the forehead of Cyttorak who instantly awakens and ensnares Juggernaut within the crimson bands.

The entity is convinced that letting the Juggernaut operate on Earth, and leaving Doctor Strange and Nova to spread his great name across the universe, is enough to satiate his need for adulation and worship.

Gomurr had Cain relive the latter's past, as a delinquent child and his causing the accident that killed his father, Dr. Kurt Marko.

An Exemplar machine under the Daily Bugle was noted and destroyed by Spider-Man, Iron Man, Thor and the astral form of Professor X.

Cyttorak granted the power and form of the Juggernaut to an unnamed child who attracted the attention of the X-Men by torturing animals.

In the She-Hulk series, it is shown that a piece of one of his gems was used to create an elephant-like creature named Behemoth when it came into the possession of Manfred Haller.
