Okay, I know it's a character on X-Men, but in that song "Stray Bullet" by KMFDM, it's basically being used as a noun, i.e. "monolithic juggernaut". What's the original meaning of the term? Some type of unstoppable mythological titan or something? Because the character implies that.

ETYMOLOGY:
Hindi jagannth, title of Krishna, from Sanskrit jaganntha, lord of the world : jagat, moving, the world (from earlier present participle of jigti, he goes; see gw- in Indo-European roots) + ntha, lord (from nthate, he helps, protects). Senses 1 and 2, from the fact that worshipers have thrown themselves under the wheels of a huge car or wagon on which the idol of Krishna was drawn in an annual procession at Puri in east-central India
