I am well versed in most if not all opinions about this obscure character called Cyttorak and also have my own He has very little showings at all in comics and opinions of his powers vary greatly. 
 
His main claim to fame is powering the mighty Juggernaut.
 
I want to hear your opinions on what is origin is, how powerful he really is and what exactly he is since the Marvel writers do not care enough about him to provide us this information. We can start with the basics but feel free to add anything as you go.

I've always assumed Cyttorak was some foolish Earth Sky-Father who was admonished by his fellow Sky-Fathers and/or a being(s) of higher power, and was thus banished to the Crimson Cosmos.  
 
The writers at Marvel use him as a plot device, so it's somewhat obvious why they've remained so vague on the character.

I beg to differ with your opinions that writers didn't shed any light. They shed enough. Likewise I felt the same until I read the actual comics themselves, every single one involving him and Juggernaut (I really wanted to prove a guy wrong about Cyttorak and thought he was blowing smoke about the whole thing, the research proved him right). Anyways, there's already a ton of these threads, your answer is there in depth.

Oh and Cyttorak is more of an IT than a Who. 

@tron_bonne: He's just curious. There's no need to be condescending.

Where are those two guys anyway?

I agree with CAT, but there's not more of these threads than there is Thor or Superman threads.  Cyttorak is very underground. Only the really curious like Capital Punishment would bring him up, but it's not like that's a bad thing....

The only problem is that you - Capital Punishment - don't absorb the information as well as others.

It's like you bring it up solely to start flame wars and call people out. I mean you created the whole Hulk vs Cyttorak threads and other funny threads similar like that.  Frankly, I think you are doing it to test his power if these are honest threads, however, benefit of the doubt has been shoved away every time you post negative remarks like, "this person lies more than the Bush Administration" and posting the same picture of Cyttorak getting knocked out by the Juggernaut. lol.

  There are like four experts on this subject that I'm aware of and I'm not all of them, mind you, that could tell you about Cyttorak but you won't believe any one of them.

 I mean, it seems like it bothers you so much, you have nightmares over this lol~.  It doesn't bother me at all. Anyhow, like CATPANEXE says, there is enough info which answers to your series of questions. The rest is up to the perception of the reader/listener/watcher.

 He's just curious. There's no need to be condescending.

Cyttorak is an extra-dimensional dark god, one of the supernatural entities that Dr. Strange draws power from.

I can't say for sure how powerful he is. He empowers Juggernaut with a portion of his power to act as his avatar on Earth, a sort of symbol of his power.

Now granted I'm not an expert on Cyttorak on any level but in a recent issues of one of the X-Men comics where Colossus get's Juggernaut's power. It was shown that Cyttorak had Juggernauts in many different universes.  Now if that was in different realities, timelines, dimensions or whatever I can't quite remember. It does show that he isn't limited to earth and that he barely/rarely notices/concentrates one Juggernaut because he has so many.

Can I see the scans please?  Was Cyttorak showing these other Juggernaut's or were they shown elsewhere? If it was shown elsewhere there could be multiple Cyttorak's, if not that is indeed an interesting point I would like to review.

i want to extend my deepest appreciation to CapitolPunishment for creating this thread.. this is exactly what we need to understand who or what Cyttorak really is..

first here is Cyttorak's bio from the OHOTMU

i have been trying to uncover the possible origins of Cyttorak for quite a while now.. and upon so much thinking, i would side with other people's belief that Cyttorak is a possibly a Skyfather..

here are some key points with regards to this theory..

Cyttorak is a Extra-Dimensional being:

-- It has been mentioned many times that Cyttorak is an extra-dimensional being.. this may possibly be true.. but this fact does not mean that Cyttorak may not be a Skyfather.. most thinks Skyfathers were born on Earth or has strong connections with the earth such as Odin or Zeus.. such does apply to most, but there are also Skyfathers that were "created" far from Earth Dimension.. one good example is the Aboriginal Skyfather Altjira.. according to legend, upon his creation, Altjira found himself in a dimension known as "Dreamtime", a extra-dimensional realm adjacent to Nightmare's Dream Dimension.. we all know that the Skyfathers were created from the divine energies released by the Demogorge after the fall of the Elder Gods.. Cyttorak is most probably like him who despite being a mere Skyfather, was conceived from an extra-dimensional realm..

Cyttorak is the Crimson Cosmos:

-- we all know what the crimson Cosmos is.. it is a extra-dimensional realm within the Outer Planes.. it is unknown to us if Cyttorak was "created" within the Crimson Cosmos itself or did he just found/created it upon his exile from Earth.. if Cyttorak was created within the Crimson Cosmos, then he would be like Altjira, if he created the Crimson Cosmos, then he would be like the rest of the Elder Gods, or if he found sanctuary there upon his exile, then he would be like the Seraphims..

his power within the Crimson Cosmos can also be connected with this.. some would argue that Cyttorak is nigh-omnipotent while he is within the Crimson Cosmos.. such thought is not unique.. both Mephisto and Dormammu are more powerful within their realms, the extent of Illyana's power while in Limbo is said to be "all-powerful", and so on and so forth.. it may also be possible that Cyttorak managed to increase his own power while in exile within the Crimson Cosmos.. look at what happened to Set.. he grew infinitely more powerful than before upon his return that to the point that he managed to fight the Demogorge to a standstill of millions of years despite the Demogorge absorbing his power in the process..

Cyttorak has dwelt on Earth before and was banished:

-- this is one of the important facts about Cyttorak.. that he was once on Earth and was banished.. the being who caused his exile and the reason behind it is the true question.. i am thinking of two possible candidates..

1.) The Celestials -- we know that 1,000 years ago during the Third Host, the Celestials threatened to sever the connection of the Gods to their worshipers if they interfere with the Celestials’ activities.. it was also roughly around this time that Cyttorak and the rest of the Octessence were banished.. who knows that during this or even before the Second Host a group of arrogant gods challenged the Celestials and then found themselves exiled from earth for their blasphemous actions..

2.) Gaea, the Mother Goddess and Atum the God Eater -- we know that Gaea is the protectress of Earth's biosphere and has assigned herself to oversee the proliferation of life.. granted Cyttorak's destructive character, Gaea may have stepped in and banished the arrogant god and his brethren or had his son, the Demogorge chase them away into exile..

Cyttorak is something between a God and a Demon:

-- Cyttorak's split aspects of being a god/demon is not really unique.. the Hyborian God Crom is known for his grim, gloomy and unforgiving persona, as well as brings down only trouble and doom despite being the patron God of several cultures.. also, Conan usually Conan exclaims things like "Crom and his devils" suggesting that despite being a God, Crom is not fully benevolent compare to most of the known Gods..

Cyttorak is called upon by Doctor Strange for aid and even powerful mystical beings such as Umar, Dormammu and Zom uses his spells:

-- Being called upon for aid for spells is never really a status symbol.. some forms of spells may be unique to one mystical beings such as Cyttorak for his Crimson Bands and Raggadorr for his rings or Ikkon for his illusions.. some of the so-called Principalities are just mere servants of other far more powerful beings.. the Seraphims for example were just creations of the Elder Goddess Oshtur who were then banished by her to the Seven Citadels of Sephiroth and are known today for their spell known as the "Shield of the Seraphim"..

i hope i have helped in some way..

@Dernman: Only to keep confusion from it, what you describing does not happen in the (not plural) issue where Colossus and Illyana narc out Cain for working as one of The Worthy (to be true as well, he wasn't willing, the Serpents avatar over-rid and possessed him - see: Thunderbolts FI tie-ins, Illyana either saw things for what they weren't or came up with a ruse). Cyttorak does make mention that he is pleased to see Cain causing so much destruction prior to being aware it's in someone else's name, but makes no mention of alternate Juggernauts nor is this monitor scene your speaking of present. For the life of me I can't think of where that occurs either, but in the interest of not misleading the asker here.

No angels. No demons. #CyttorakIsGod Heretics and Pilgrims be damned.

@asgardianbrony: Malibu comics share a Universe with Marvel. It does not extend on another Multiverse, it is just another reality from Marvel owned by Malibu. Take it as Marvel Zombie Verse which is connected with Army of Darkness but more connected.

Also Crimson Cosmos is not even Cyttorak's. It is a dimension he took over because he is banished there. Not only Crimson Cosmos does not extend outside of Marvel but even if it does (and it does not) it does not affect Cyttorak as Crimson Cosmos is just a Dimension he was banished on. That is why he created Juggernaut in the first place, because he wanted to have influence on the Creation he was banished on.

Nowhere was it ever mentioned that Cyttorak is from CC. He is an Elder God and was banished there.

Batman.

@asgardianbrony: When? If it is Pre-Fear Itself than all information was retconed as him being a powerful Elder God who was banished to CC because of his will for Chaos and power. Probably a connection for Elder Gods becoming Demons which is the reason why Gaea created an off spring to kill the Elder Gods. Either Cyttorak was the first one, either he started it or it happened during those times. It might be possible and cool thing for a story but either way, it does not change the fact that his most recent origin was this:

Powerful evil Elder God who was banished to CC and tried to influence our own by creating Juggernaut.

While I can agree that he is Multiversal because he is on the same tier as Shuma Gorath and Vishanti... he does not go beyond that unless you provide some evidence.
