I think Colossus has more powers -not needing to breath, magic resistance and being malleable in steel form-, so he should be considered better when it comes to that.
...It just make Thing much more awesome at being better than Piotr, so Thing on both.
I don't know if you'd be trapped. Hasn't it been established many times in the past that the main reason that Ben can't turn human again is because he has a bunch of blocks in his subconscious. Not sure if that's the case now, though.
As long as you're pretty neurosis free, you shouldn't have a problem.
Oh and BTW, I'd want to be the Thing in the comic world (or better yet, Ultimate Thing). and just for the record, I'd find a way to take the Hulk down.
In the real world, it's a toss up. Both of them would probably make most real world bad guys sh*t a brick.
As for the third scenario also a toss up. The most likely end would be a mixed up pile of rocks and scrap metal.

Thing takes all 3. He got a strong will, dangerous hand-to-hand combat skills, and is also very strong and VERY intelligent. Colossus's tiny advantage in strenght won't make a difference here, and besides, Thing more than makes up for it with his enormous advantage in durability.

He's also ugly and incapable of transforming back at will. I'm not an incredibly vain person but I'm vain enough that I'd much rather be Colossus than Thing.
Colossus is also trained in h/h, perhaps more so than Thing. Also where do you get that Thing has an enormous durability advantage?

It's not like Thing is a master of Krav Maga. Colossus has also taken hits from the Hulk and took hits from Gladiator as well. They're about even when it comes to durability.

No. I'm sure Thing is like a male model to a hypothetical race of Golems. But by human standards he's grotesque. And those are the standards we use. Thing more than anyone thinks he's ugly, sometimes he's even portrayed with an inferiority complex due to this.

The great thing about Krav Maga is, that even when you're not a master of it, you're still a master of general non-Krav Maga combat. You feel me? Colossus never had THAT big of a reputation for his fighting skills.
Oh, and look at the difference in how well Thing and Colossus took the hits from Hulk. Thing is obviously the more durable of them.

jonny, sue and reed all look human...thing doesn't. jeez.
show a pic of thing (realistic or not) to a kid...I'll bet you they will not say 'eeeew' whereas if you show them a pic of swampthing or grundy they will. thing is not grotesque by any means.
