HISTORY

An alien force of incredible power, the Zuggernaut was thought destroyed one million years ago. The planet Cytothex 3 was obliterated, as well as its population of three to four billion, in a failed atempt to eliminate the threat.

- Firestorm, the Nuclear Man #66

In recent years, it landed on earth and merged with Matvei Roder. This brought it into conflict with the Soyuz and the Ronnie Raymond/Mikhail Arkadin version of Firestorm, who defeated it. The Zuggernaut entity left the body of Matvei, and may be able to return.
