Name: Piotr Nikolaievitch Rasputin
Codename: Colossus
Aliases: Pete, Peter, Peter Nicholas, The Proletarian
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Side: Good
Affiliation: X-Men (current), formerly Acolytes, Excalibur, Defenders
Description:
Personality:
Peter is what one would call a "genial giant," he is very calm and peaceful. He doesn't like to fight much less hurt other people. Peter is selfless and will put himself in danger to help others around him. Although he tries to not become angry when he does he is certainly a lethal force to be reckoned with and can lose himself in it.
Powers/Abilities:
Powers:
Colossus possesses various superhuman physical attributes as a result of natural genetic mutation.
Organic Steel Transformation: Colossus is a mutant with the superhuman ability to convert the tissue of his entire body into an organic steel-like substance. This substance resembling steel is of unknown composition but appears to be analogous to osmium and to carbon steel. He is able to transform into this armor-like state at will (the process is virtually instantaneous) and remain in that form for an as yet undetermined amount of time. (The longest time he has remained in armored form by choice so far has been five days). Once in his armored form he remains so until he consciously wills himself back to normal. If he is rendered unconscious, however, he spontaneously reverts to his normal form. While in the armored state, Colossus possesses the same degree of mobility that he does in his normal form. The conversion from flesh and bone to organic steel is accomplished by a psionic whole-brain interface with an ionic form of osmium, an extremely dense metal, located in another dimension. In willing the act of transformation, Colossus actually exchanges osmium atoms for his carbon atoms. The psionic interface with the other dimension re-creates all of Colossus's body in functionally similar organic ionic-osmium materials. The process by which Colossus gains additional mass from an unknown, perhaps extra-dimensional, force remains unknown. Colossus cannot become partially or selectively armored; his body is either entirely converted or not.
Superhuman Strength: After transforming into his armored state, Colossus possesses vast superhuman strength. As a teenager, he was sufficiently strong enough to lift about 70 tons. However, as a fully mature adult, his strength has increased to the point that he is able to lift more than 75 tons but no more than 100 tons.
Superhuman Stamina: Also, while in armored form, Colossus' musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins than the musculature of a normal human. At his peak, he can physically exert himself at peak capacity for several days before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to impair him.
Superhuman Durability: In his armored form Colossus is invulnerable to most forms of bodily harm. His armor is capable of withstanding ballistic penetration, including that of a 110 millimeter Howitzer shell. He can survive extremes of temperature from 70 degrees above absolute zero (-390 degrees Fahrenheit) to approximately 9000 degrees Fahrenheit. He can survive a collision with a loaded, one-ton flatbed truck at 100 miles per hour or an explosion of 450 pounds of TNT. He can also survive falls from great heights while in his armored body.
Abilities:
Skilled Painter: Peter is a highly skilled artist, once becoming very famous using the name Peter Nicholas while suffering from amnesia.
Expert Combatant: Even though Peter has a gentle demeanor and personality, he is a skilled hand to hand combatant, having received some training personally from Wolverine. He has also honed himself through years of combat training within the X-Men's Danger Room.
Strength level
Class 100 strength, currently Piotr is strong enough to and has been shown to lift at least 100 tons and more. As a teenager he was not as strong and could lift about 70 tons. Also even without transforming into his metal form Piotr possesses the strength of a human of similar age and build who engages in regular extensive exercise, as a result he can lift up to twice his body weight . Piotr can press lift 700 lbs in his normal form.
Weaknesses
Just like all metal in the marvel universe, Colossus's metal skin is vulnerable to the anti-metal Vibranium. Colossus instinctively turns back into his normal form when he comes into contact with something made of Vibranium.
History:
Piotr was born on a Soviet collective farm with his mother, sister, and father. His older brother was a cosmonaut that died in a rocket explosion. Piotr's power manifested when he saved his sister from being crushed by a runaway tractor. For years he used his powers to help his fellow workers believing that his powers "belonged to the state." As time went on he met Charles Xavier who convinced him to move to America to better control his powers.
