Colossus easily.

Colossus. its a no contest

Colossus.

Already done

Colossus, stronger, more durable, no need to eat or breathe once transformed. Plus you can go back and forth at will, the options you have for using your powers are staggering.

Invincible Cop
Invincible Drug Lord
Invincible Soldier
Invincible Crook
Etc....

With Thing you get a 7 foot tall, rocky orange turd.

Does Colossus have actually any feats, Thing has gone against Hulk ... and lost. What has Colossus done? Have seen him only beat street thugs and humilated by Juggernaut.

Ouh, it was not a fight ... Blargh

Stalemated Gladiator
Went up against Champion
Went up against Juggernaut and held his own multiple times, while he was still a teen.(Class 70)
Went up against WWH(did much better than Thing)
Temporarily ko'd Savage Hulk as a teen
Handed that demon his ass(can't remember his name)

I'm fairly sure that Colossus was KO'd at the end of the Gladiator fight, not to mention that was one of, if not the weakest versions of Gladiator.

Yeah, he was ko'd, but not by Gladiator, by a pillar falling on him. Just like his bar fight with Juggernaut, Cain didn't ko him, the wall falling on him did. And even if it was a weak version of Gladiator, which is still pretty damn strong, Colossus still went toe to toe with him, and their blows were rocking the foundations of every building nearby.

No, it was a building that fell on both of them, which means that Gladiator had better durability, so even without the building and if everything else was even, Colossus would have still lost to one of the weakest version of Gladiator.

And Thing would have done better??

Despite you trying to make Colossus seem like far less than he is, the fact remains that he fought and held his own against Gladiator, and he showed no signs of slowing down until the building was dropped on him. It doesn't matter how weak Gladiator was, he was still high enough that Colossus was the only one who could even think of fighting him.

And where did Gladiator's durability come into this? I never said Pete's strength/durability were even close to Glads.

Because Colossus was basically the only brick on that team.

I know, but you're making it seem like Gladiator was a wimp or something. He was still CL 100, and in the mid to high range in that Class. And you didn't answer my question, would Thing have done better?

more durable as well

Eh, I'm not sure about that. The Thing is weaker, but he's disproportionately tough compared to most bricks. Though they're both very durable, so I can't say for certain...

Still, the real deal-maker is "Can go back and forth at will".

Colossus is stronger as well as more durable. Thing just has that heart thing that lets him keep going even though he should lose. You can look back at their fights and feats over the years to see who their durability matches up.
