GREAT MOMENTS IN HISTORY

The Incredible Hulk #172: After the Hulk is captured, the military attempts to use an experimental space-time warp transporter to transport the Hulk to another dimension where he can never do damage again to earth. They turn on the transporter and manage to get transport the Hulk away but at the same time, it allows the Juggernaut to make his way back to earth. The Juggernaut starts hitting at the walls of the cell the Hulk was in to break out. The military tries to use the transporter again but it has feedback and causes the Hulk to reappear. The Juggernaut recognizes the Hulk and says that they should escape together. The Hulk doesn't know who the Juggernaut is so the Juggernaut recounts his origin and what has happened to him recently. The Hulk still doesn't trust the Juggernaut but will help him until they are at least free. The two fight and defeat the army and the Hulk leaps away atop a small mountain. He sees the Juggernaut cause a family to drive off the road and threaten them. The Hulk jumps down and tells the Juggernaut he is wrong to try to hurt innocent people. The two start to fight and knock each other around quite a bit. When the Juggernaut is on the Hulk's back and trying to break his neck, the Hulk reaches up and grabs the Juggernaut by his helmet. The Hulk spins him around until the helmet comes loose and the Juggernaut flies into a mountain. The Hulk, thinking the fight is over, starts to walk away. The Juggernaut recovers from his fall and is about to go attack the Hulk again when the X-Men show up and easily defeat him since his helmet is off.

The Incredible Hulk #402: The Hulk goes to the Amazon to check on a developer who is razing large acres of forest. While there, he gets into a fight with who he thinks is just a construction worker but it is actually the Juggernaut witout his armor. The Hulk is surprised when the construction worker hits him and he flies backwards into the forest. The Hulk braces himself as the Juggernaut runs at him, thinking tht this worker wouldn't be able to move him but they hit fly over a waterfall. The Hulk pops out of the water and the Juggernaut comes up behind him and pulls him back under the water. The Juggernaut holds the Hulk underwater and the Hulk is forced to grab a fist full of dirt and throw it into the Juggernaut's face. The Hulk keeps asking him who he is but the Juggernaut never says directly. When the Juggernaut lunges for him, the Hulk leaps and the Juggernaut lands in quicksand. The Hulk tries to give the Juggernaut a hand but Juggy tries to drag him in too so the Hulk lets go and the Juggernaut sinks. Thinking he's gone, the Hulk stands over the quicksand and the Juggernaut comes busting out and catches the Hulk by surprise. The Juggernaut keeps pounding on the Hulk, never letting him recover, until he knocks him out.

The Incredible Hulk #403: The Hulk is in restraints infront of the Red Skull and the Juggernaut, now in his armor. The Juggernaut boosts that all it took was to wear street clothes to beat the Hulk. The Hulk taunts the Juggernaut that he had to trick him to beat him. The Juggernaut gets mad and starts to go towards the Hulk but the Red Skull stops him from doing anything that would release the Hulk. The Juggernaut stands back and watches as the Red Skull and Mentallo try to take over the Hulk's mind. He walks down a hall later on, complaining that with the Juggernaut around, you don't need a mind-controlled Hulk. He walks by a door labeled Project Piecemeal when a claw comes through the door and the Juggernaut automatically punches the creature out. He tells the scientist to keep that thing sedated and walks on. The Avengers come to investigate the forest when the Juggernaut runs through them. The Vision starts to knock the Juggernaut unconscious with his phasing powers when a mind-controlled Hulk stops him and the Juggernaut orders him to destroy the Avengers.

The Incredible Hulk #404: The Hulk slaps his hands together and creates a shock wave that blows the Avengers back. The Juggernaut is just about to go into them more when the Red Skull radios him and tells him to give the Avengers an option to surrender and leave. The Juggernaut, against his better judgement, gives the Avengers the option but when they refuse, the Juggernaut orders the Hulk on them. The Hulk, in his mind, sees the Juggernaut as his father and the Avengers as different ages of Bruce Banner. They continue to fight the Avengers as a team until the Juggernaut tells the Hulk he is dong a great job. That praise jolts the Hulk's mind for a second. Then some of the remaining Avengers attack again and knock the Hulk down for a second. The Juggernaut gives his hand out to the Hulk and says that nothing can stop them if they stick together. The Hulk, his mind going back to when his father killed his mother, starts to crack a little bit. The Juggernaut just grabs the Hulk and throws him towards the Avengers. The Hulk, about to kill Crystal, hears the Juggernaut saying that he is the best. The Hulk, who is still seeing the Juggernaut as his father, finally cracks. The Hulk says that all those years, all he wanted was a little praise but all he gave was anger and being browbeat and now after all that time, he decides to give him praise. He punches the Juggernaut and hits his helmet off. The Hulk slowly starts to come out of it and knows that the Juggernaut is not his father and hits him. He screams to get out of his head. Mentallo tries to regain control but the Hulk rejects it and causes a massive psychic backlash that knocks everybody out, including the Juggernaut. The Avengers take the Juggernaut into custody.

The Incredible Hulk #456: The Juggernaut is seen sitting at a desk with the New World Order as the Absorbing Man reports in as to his status. Later, the Hulk as controlled by Apocalypse, breaks apart the Absorbing Man and Rick Jones gets a little worried until the Juggernaut comes charging in.

The Incredible Hulk #457: The Juggernaut comes crashing down at the Hulk, dressed as War under Apocalypse's control, and hits him and keeps pushing him backwards. Until the Hulk manages to stop the Juggernaut from pushing him any further, then a coil from the Hulk's armor snakes out and wraps around the Juggernaut's leg. The Hulk throws him around and then sends him flying away. The Juggernaut lands in a mosque and as the Hulk comes leaping down onto him, the Juggernaut hits him and sends him flying across the street. The Juggernaut and Hulk continue to fight until the Hulk finally beats the Juggernaut down. The Hulk takes his sword and flips the Juggernaut's helmet off. He's about to behead the Juggernaut when the Absorbing Man comes crashing down on him. After the Hulk accidently sends Rick Jones flying into a brick wall and leaps away from the pain, the Juggernaut grabs his helmet. He and the Absorbing Man take the Hulk's sword which he left behind and agree to take Rick Jones and Janis to a hospital and then take the sword back to the New World Order.
