So we're talking about an overgrown brute in a rhino outfit vs. Colossus
K, well to try to bring some reasoning here: Rhino has superhuman strength (although i can't find any indices on just how high that is, but i haven't seen anything to suggest it's higher than Colossus's 100 class. He's been irradiated with gamma radiations and made even stronger.
However, from what i recall, these radiations didn't also increase his endurance. That's what the rhino outfit is for. The rhino outfit is said to be as resilient as a rhino's hide. I mean...come on people, we're talking rhino hide vs. organic steel here?
We're talking about a hide that can be put down by bullets vs. a guy that can deflect bullets with his freekin eyelids????
um no...U dont know about Rhino so u assumed his skin was just as durable as a Rhino's?. When the Rhino was originally introduced his powers were attributed to a combination of Gamma radiation and magic. He was a match for the Hulk. In fact, the first time the Rhino was freed from his costume (which was permanent and he could not remove it) it took a high intensity energy/laser apparatus months to weaken it enough to be removed. The Rhino does have impressive stamina...he cannot only run at about 150mph (much faster than Colossus) but he can also maintain it for extended time. His "Rhino" hide is not its original anymore...but his original skin was probably more durable than Colossus...it was originally virtually indestructable. Nowadays, the durability of Rhino's skin varries from writer to writer. He is presently class 90 now also.
Nonetheless...Rhino is no longer as durable as colossus, he's not as strong, he is less disciplined, and cant fight like Colossus...Colossus would beat him.
I always admit to have limited knowledge on rhino, but is the original rhino outfit you're talking about the one that SM's acid pellet webbing cracked? Or the later one that was "glued" to his skin and had to be removed by Project Pegasus? Because if it's the first, it wasn't that resistant, and if it's the second, then yeah, it is tougher indeed. However, i still think that Colossus's organic steel is stronger. It can take bludgeoning and piercing hits like nothing, and can withstand extreme temperatures. Not to mention that rhino's face is still unprotected.
yes the 2nd skin...not the skin from his first appearance...The hide that was stuck to his body was practically indestructable by the standards at that time.
Classic Rhino would wreck Colossus, and so would some versions of current Rhino. Rhino was able to force his horn into Juggernaut, sans the force field.
Force his horn into Juggernaut? Are you serious? He must have some serious power for him to do that. I wonder who would win in a fight between him and Hulk.
Hulk never tries to kill anyone. He just tries to "smash them" when they refuse to leave him alone. He's a simpleton, so he often gets into disputes that lead to temper tantrums and fights. But, he's as innocent as a child. If Hulk was evil, there would be a lot of dead superheroes and villians. He doesn't kill people, unless he does do by accident, or if he has no other options.
