I wouldnt doubt that considering feats in the 80's are highly impressive with certain characters. You have to understand my take on this because a while ago, many were saying that Beast is in some high class in strength yet doesnt have much to show for it.Either way, i still think Colossus can use a much better teammate. Immortal Hercules? Beast just doesnt have what it takes to be enough of a distraction imo. Herc should be able to one-shot him then quickly finish off Colossus soon after.
I understand completly where your coming from, Beast is no where near as strong now as he was back then.
I cna see his speed being a factor in him surviving for a while though, however I would agree that Colossus would do better with a better partner, he and Classic Rogue for instance or him and say Warpath would make this a much, much closer fight and give them a decent chance of pulling off a majority.
