History: When a mysterious planet was spotted moving through the Solar System towards Earth, countries around the world monitored its progress. Dubbed Planet Z, as it passed by Earth, an object was fired from its surface, and sped towards Earth; missiles fired at it simply melted before making contact, and eventually it came to land in England, in Cumberland's marshland near a missile testing range. It proved to be a sphere, which disgorged a gigantic robot. Before scientists could ascertain whether the robot was hostile or not, the army fired on it, triggering a violent rampage. Eventually however, Morgan managed to calm the situation, and the Juggernaut became an ally of mankind.

Comments: Though the Juggernaut only appeared in Hurricane for about a year, he returned for one off strips in the 1969 and 1970 Annuals (and possibly others, but those are the ones I know about).
