Storm Vs Colossus

Started by xmarksthespot14 pages

Storm wins this unless Colossus get's lucky.
1) She can fly while Colossus cannot. (Unless Marvel's done some kind of crazy upgrade in the last week or so) If she is in the air he can do nothing to her except perhaps throw large objects at her, and she's shown considerable speed and maneuverability in her flight.
2) Her lightning is at temperatures above Colossus organic steel melting point (lighting = approx 50,000 F, Colossus M.P. = 12,000 F (according to Metalmanx). Organic steel is likely a very good conductor of electricity. Colossus is basically a big lightning rod.

Normal lightning wouldn't last long enough to severely heat up Colossus, her "piddly little hand lightning" isn't hot enough to severely heat up Colossus unless he decides to sit there for a few minutes.

One thrown rock is enough to rip off Storm's head. If need be, Colossus could pick up a bunch of small rocks and throw them for a shotgun effect that she would likely have a hard time dodging. He's strong enough that a pebble would do some damage to Storm.

storm has saved herself from gun-shot before by manipulating wind, colossus trying to throw pebbles won't work. storm can summon many bolts of lightning at one time, she will be able to heat him up.

this thread is pointless......its been decided by everyone that its either storm or stalemate so why even bother arguing for colossus. I definately agree with nataku that storm is not likely going to be able to beat him but ya know who really cares? cuz in the end storm is still an overated hero with powers that she shouldnt have and colossus is still the effing man even tho he cant win this one 🙂.

so your saying colossus weighs more than a building? storm lifted a building with ease in contest of champions

A building has more surface space than Colossus. I'm sure he weighs more than like... a small house maybe but it'd take more wind to lift him because he's smaller and aerodynamic.
and colossus has a melting point right? lightning can easily go up to 50,000 degrees.

I don't know Colossus' current melting point but it'd probably take a lot of fraction of a second heatings to melt him.

I'm sorry Piotr, you're the cooler of the two, but metal conducts electricity. Storm wins hands down

First, any WHIRLWIND, that storm produces, will take ALOT, of concentration and therefore at least 3-4 sec startup, and at least 15 seconds to get his bulk in there.

That being said, why would he get caught in there? Seeing as they know each other, he knows to stay away and chuck heavy items, storm is only at decent stamina, a strong hit from a heavy pole that high up and she's down.

That and, like torch, she is a MUCH milder thread that high in the air. Its a stalemate, with peter doing more damage.

Lighting isn't doing anything, while it conducts, he is also protected at the same time.

Again, the point is not to electrify him, it's to use the heat of the lightning to heat him up.

She strikes him with as many lightning bolts as fast as she can to get his heat up.

Then after he was superheated from a birrage of lightning bolts hotter than the surface of the sun, she super cools him. Resulting in the same thing that happened to him before and Dr Doom in the FF movie.

Storm has the psionic ability to control the weather over limited areas. She can fly by creating winds strong enough to support her weight. Storm has limited immunity to extreme heat and cold.

From marvel dictionary

I don't see anything about doing things like creating non-weather related abilities, such as electricity from her hands, or sun rays.

Point? Marvel dictionary is useless. It's outdated and only a general idea of character's powers.

Let's see an example of Colossus melting.

Colossus has melted in Xmen Clandestine

Why would he just stand there, while she accumulates them? Why wouldn't he hide?

Making the characters fight in their worst for your benefit eh?

Acuumulates them?

Do you know anything about storm?

She can instantly summon a lighting bolt, she's done it thousands of times. . .

You're depowering storm for your own benefit huh?

I seriously doubt Collosus is faster than lightning either. . .

ANd the instant ones arent' strong enough, what's your point?

Colossus has taken worse, its a stalemate, Colossus would be doing more damage anyway.

Ok. Let me sort this out. I believe Storm would win. Why?

For a start her lightning can and has very well hurt him in the past. Shortly after the dark phoenix saga in uncanny xmen Storm after being trapped in a chrome form by Doom was released and she was temporarily driven mad. She attacked both Doom and her fellow Xmen. Colossus tries to approach storm to take her out but her winds were too strong for him to move and her lightning bolts which were naturally attracted to his armoured form made approaching her too painful anyway as he stated. Storm wasnt even directing shooting at him but what did manage to connect with him certainly hurt him. Imagine if she did hit him directly.

In uncanny xmen when the team travelled to antartica to stop Magneto from unleahing a worldwide E.M.P wave a powerful lightning bolt attracted to his metal form struck him and Rogue who was in the near vicinty. They were both floored. Rogue was unconscious.

In a battle to the death a barrage of full intensity lightning from Storm would most certainly hurt Colossus.

Storm also has the ability to manipulate the bio-electric field which permeates all living beings. Storm when endangered by the intangible mutant Shinobi Shaw threatened to shut down his organs by shutting down his field something she claimed to be able to do despite his intangibility. Colossus in metallic form could also be dealt with in such a manner if her life was at risk.

Colosssus is very durable, however he is far from impervious to harm. Riptide of the Marauders has hospitalised him through gale force propelled projectiles. Storm is certainly capable of the same thing. As previously mentioned straw can pierce concrete in hurricane force winds. Straw and grass piecing walls or trees is a regular occurrence in major storms worldwide. In a cityscape there are plenty of objects which storm could use for a similar effect. It would definitely work. Just think it happens all the time in storms. If Storm is directly propelling metal poles or the like at colossus with the intention of piercing his armour then of course it would work if the like happens all the time during storms and just by accident. Riptide can hardly outclass Storm in the wind generating stakes.

Also Storm could certainly restrain him with winds. Emma Frost who is class 50 was easily restrained by storm with her winds with no effort from storm at all. Colossus is a low level class 100. With a bit more effort it is certainly within her capabilities.

Also you lot are seriously over-estimating colosuss' durability. If he was tossed about in hurricane force winds, slammed into buildings, slammed into the ground he would eventually be knocked unconscious. He is not juggernaut. He has been hurt by Storms lightning before. He was floored by a powerful lightning bolt, he has been hospitalised by riptide, AOA colossus was killed by Gambits powers.

Understood, but its still a stalemate, storm doesn't have it that easy to a person that knows her.

There wasnt a stalemate option bcause they are lame and are just an easy way out for people who cant be bothered to really think about a thread.

Colossus might know her but he doesnt have it in him to counter her abilities. How is that a staalemate? Far from it. He knows of her capabilities yet theres nothing he can do to combat their full extent.

Storm will wear out, and would have a hard time doing sufficient damage.

Well... Colossus is a bit like a big lightning rod, as a large steel man he is very likely to conduct the electricity especially if it is directed near him. Unlike a lightning rod he is not grounded i.e. electrically connected to the ground by low resistance wire, as he wears leather? boots, so (from my limited physics knowledge) the electricity does not dissipate as easily into the earth, meaning he will probably heat up quite fast.

She can call down consecutive and perhaps multiple concurrent lightning strikes and due to the conductivity of his metal form there is a high propensity for these if directed in an appoximate vicinity to strike him and heat him. The temperature of lightning is much higher than Colossus melting point, so the time for these strikes to reach melting point would be relatively small. He's also very reflective meaning he actually would not radiate the heat from the lighning strikes well.

Colossus could win against Storm but as she's likely to be airborne, where she realtively maneuverable, he would have to have a combination of excellent aim, a good balance between the size and shape of the object to throw at her and the speed at which the object can be thrown by his considerable strength (as these would be inversely proportional) and of course luck 😄

It would also depend on her not summoning winds to deflect objects thrown at her.

More often than not Storm would likely win.

Same for colossus he isnt immune to fatigue whats your point? Storm has many options at her disposal to take him out. The battle doesnt have to go on for a long time. Colossus just has his strength which is rendered useless if he cant apply it to an out of reach storm.
