My Life as a Teenage Juggernaut... (Worm AU x Marvel)

Like she needs a gun. Given the the sheer amounts of kinetic energy she could impart to anything by a meaningful yeet. Scientifically notarized as a metric fucktonne. Like look up pictures of blocks of aluminum shot by pieces of plastic going 7000+ m/s. She could do that.

Keep in mind Juggernaut's power affects momentum not velocity, and it doesn't extend to thrown objects other than letting her accelerate them easily up to her maximum hand speed.

Her benefit comes from being able to throw a fastball with a massive hunk of tungsten as easily as most people would toss a wiffleball, not launch sand grains at the speed of light.
 
Trust me, I've got a list going...
Wall, Brick, Steamroller, Inevitable, Invictus, Relentless, Juggernaut, Dreadnaught...

There's something fun about the using the name Inevitable. You can hire Inevitables from the Hall of Concordance in Sigil, the city of doors, to enforce contracts between two parties.

If Taylor (as Juggernaut) takes the name Inevitable, does that mean she can earn some pocket money by enforcing coontract terms throughout the planes of existence?

Or, even worse, Taylor (as Juggernaut) could meet Taylor (as Dragon, who is currently visiting Sigil...)

(The above silliness brought to you by a break in my smithing of Wordz™... and D&D and Planescape)
 
Well, the local avatar of the Lady of Pain could make sure all the Empire's capes are lined up just right for Taylor to reenact Nazi Stomping Day. Krieg will wonder if he forgot to pay his powers bill.

Just gonna say, part of the deal with Cyttorak is that he gets naming rights on his champion. And it's Juggernaut. Story potential there, as Taylor is trying to think up a name, literally everyone is saying "it should be Juggernaut." And she takes a minute to realizing it's not normal for that to happen.

Except Kryslin has already stated that Juggernaut will NOT be Taylor's cape name, because it would give certain parties an excuse to call her Jug-gernaut.

Obviously, Juggernaut won't be her cape name, if only to avoid PHO making boob jokes and comments.

One could, of course, translate Sanskrit jagannātha "Lord of the Universe" (a title of Vishnu's avatar Krishna, whence Modern English juggernaut "unstoppable entity" since C17 by analogy to large wagons carrying idols of Krishna which could not readily be stopped once they were in motion) into some other language.

As a possible Lady of Pain, but yes. Right now, that's far off into the future, if ever.

It's more Taylor as a dragon than it is Missy playing Cuisinart with space-time, though.

Honestly, what I think would be funny is if, despite name choices, no one could refer to her caped persona as anything *but* The Juggernaut. Like Cyttorak just imposing that on reality. No jokes about jugs, no shorthand, etc. Just, people being bewildered because any references to her become The Juggernaut. Try to use her cape name that she picked? Nope, you say "The Juggernaut." Try and write it? Same thing. Even Taylor herself would be affected(maybe not wholly) because then you could do a bit where she gets irritated/angry with someone and snaps at them "Don't you know who I am? I'm The Juggernaut, bitch!" :p (
 
Bitch will have no sympathy about the name issue unless Taylor gets hers right first. As Spider-Man has observed, logic can stop the Juggernaut, but I'm not sure PR directives apply...

I honestly think it would be better, given Worm's cast, if the traditional angry ranting was subverted there and done as friendly introductions between Taylor and the Undersiders.

That too! But mostly, the hilarity of everyone being confused over why they can't do anything *but* refer to her by her full and proper title and working to that joke. Which can be totally polite too, though I dunno if there's likely to be friendly introductions with them.

Potential name for Taylor - Newtonia

I thought briefly it was the name of the father of the Power Puff Girls for some reason, but that's Professor Drake Utonium. As for a name for Taylor, I sort of like Inevitable, but every time I hear that I keep thinking of Agent Smith, in the Matrix.

Also Thanatos,

Both fairly tough opponents. Perhaps something more simple? Unstoppable. It just doesn't roll off the tongue though. Or going back to the very beginning, taking the origin of where the name came from, an enormous carriage that carried an image of the Hindu god Vishnu (whose title was Jagannath, literally, "lord of the world"). Using Google Translate, and sticking in Juggernaut, and selecting Hindi, it gives me रथ, or in text most people could read, Rath (pronounced like the word for someone's anger). It's short and easy to pronounce. It also gives a slight hint of 'don't make her angry' aluding to the Hulk a little bit.
 
I kinda get tired of the names that try to be marketable, intimidating, pretentious, etc. and like to see something different for a change. Something simple, pithy and fun to meme with would be nice.

How about Nope?
"Boss, you're telling me to threaten her? To attack her? To jump in front of that pain train? To stop her wrecking our shit? Nope."
