![]() ![]() ![]() It will be interesting to see if and how Colossus will be incorporated into the MCU along with the rest of the X-Men down the line, especially considering what an important member of the team he’s become.Colossus is a mutant whose powers were due to his cellular replacement of his organic structure with an extra-dimensional organic osmium steel. However, both versions have a certain innocence to them that makes them easy to root for. While Colossus in the comics is typically steadfast and stoic, his demeanor in Deadpool is much more comedic to match the tone of the film. The Colossus seen in the Deadpool movies is much more physically accurate to the source material, though there are some differences in terms of personality. The movie version is also much smaller than the one in the comics, who typically towers over his teammates and is significantly bulkier. For one, Cudmore’s Colossus is not Russian - or, at least, he doesn’t have an accent as he does in the comics. However, the character in the films has some significant differences from his comics counterpart. Although these buffs were eventually stripped away, Colossus remains a force to be reckoned with and has even been recognized by the Hulk as a worthy opponent.Ĭolossus was played by Daniel Cudmore in Fox's X-Men movies, first appearing in the franchise's second entry, X2: United. Colossus kept these abilities in the Avengers vs X-Men crossover, where he also wielded the Phoenix Force, making him incredibly powerful. Powers aside, Peter has also been trained in martial arts, acrobatics, and sword fighting by some of his fellow X-Men, making him a skilled combatant whether he's metal or not.Ĭolossus also briefly became the Juggernaut in the Fear Itself series after gaining the powers of the Avatar of Cyttorak, which increased his strength even further and made him virtually unstoppable once he built up momentum. However, Colossus can't just armor up an arm or a leg - he has to transform his entire body (and yes, that includes his eyeballs.) In addition, Colossus does not need food, water, or even oxygen in his armored form, though he does become an easy target for Magneto while in that state. The transformation obviously makes him heavier, but also makes him taller. Evidently self-sacrifice runs in the family.Ĭolossus’s main power is his ability to transform his entire body into an organic metal called osmium, which in turn gives him superhuman strength and invulnerability. When he Colossus are the last two remaining members of Rasputin's bloodline, Mikhail banishes himself to a dimension where he can never die but from which there is no escape, so if Colossus dies, Rasputin will be reborn in a prison. Mikhail has been known to walk the line between hero and villain, but in this story, he puts family first. Mikhail is also a mutant, but his powers are very different from his brother's - he has the ability to control energy, allowing him to teleport, fire energy blasts, and even manipulate the energy within others. Sadly, Larisa is later killed by Mister Sinister, who is revealed to be orchestrating the entire plot on Rasputin's behalf, but Colossus and his brother, Mikhail, manage to foil the plan. One by one, all their relatives are being murdered because when only one member of Rasputin's bloodline remains, Rasputin will be reborn within them. Larisa tells him that she's discovered that their family is descended from Grigori Rasputin, a real-life Russian mystic who was apparently a powerful mutant in the Marvel Universe. When Peter gets a distress call from his cousin, a journalist named Larisa Mishchenko, he returns home to Russia in order to help her. The limited series X-Men: Colossus Bloodline by David Hine provides some more insight into Colossus’s background.
