That's called PIS.
Because a much younger Colossus withstood a constant bolt of lightning while standing on a metal platform. The platform began to melt, and he kept going.
So being properly written, no he's not really vulnerable to lightning. Neither is he to falling from negligible heights.

Making other universes and higher inter/extra-dimensional beings are well within the realm of possibility, just not likely[Unless you believe the particle scientists who now believe other universes pop in and out of existance constantly]. Absolute zero however is impossible without conditions to support it.

awesomeThis reminds me of the old Colossus vs Thing thread. I must have gotten a hundred posts in that thread easy.
Unless all those posts were to say "Thing wins handily" then you wasted your time.
Anyways, did Colossus finally get a legitimate thunderclap feat? I wouldn't be surprised if he did -afterall, frigging Luke Cage thunderclapped-, but I recall a debate in which people defending Colossus couldn't provide proof, so I ask in case that changed.

Shut up.
I remember there being one back in the day, I just can't seem to recall where I saw it.
I should really start with that respect thread. 🙁

If you have enough information on Colossus to start an entire respect thread, I'd like you next to answer whether you've ever seen Colossus swimming in metal form, for I've never seen him or Juggernaut doing so, instead only those two walking, or, most recently, fighting on an ocean floor (Colossusnaut versus Rulk).
Other than that, i've only seen Petey DROWNING in water when some device of Magneto's forced him to switch back suddenly to human form while heading for Magneto's island. He was saved by Wolverine giving the Schafer manuever and CPR, if memory serves
(Uncanny X-Men #150) correctly.
I've got the comicbook equivalent of the following in my head now.
John unwittingly taking the part of Batman.
Cromartie that of Colossus:
Batman might also use the strategy he applied against the General: first he hypnotizes Colossus into turning back into human form then he karate chops him to win handily.
As a last resort he would break out the Batkick, but he would be careful to only disable Colossus and not kill him. Batman is well aware of the potential to cause a fatality and would call on all his training and self-discipline to restrict the Batkick to a non-lethal (ie sub Spectre-ownage) level.

I also have to say I'm very disappointed by the mods here, especially that nasty old lizard, Bada... A spite threat like this open for soo long. Batman should be put against the HOTU and not against someone like Colossus... not even Colossonaut with the P5 power...

Colossus doesn't breathe in metal form, but he's usually too heavy to swim. i honestly haven't seen him swim in metal form, but in his human form it shouldn't be an issue.

With standard gear, Batman can slow Colossus down, AT BEST. His only options are calling in his car and plane remotely and hope they can do the job.
I disagree.
One, think it worthwhile to point out there are somethings you can do to "slow down" an opponent to such an extent that there is little real distinction between "slowed" and "stopped". Spider-man's win over Juggernaut is the classic example of this; thanks to retcon, Juggernaut was ultimately only "slowed down" by Spider-man's happenstance.
By several ... months.
I think a "slowage" of that magnitude would count for a win even by the rules of this forum.
Two, Colossus has been stopped by physical force on the level of collapsing buildings and far less throughout his comic history.
Doesn't seem plausible to me that a master strategist like Batman couldn't arrange for Colossus to be put in the path of something big enough to stop him.
Three, per forum rules Batman has general knowledge of Colossus.
Except as part of a general strategy of distraction to help some larger Plan B succeed, Bruce wouldn't be wasting time trying to fight Colossus hand-to-hand. You'd have to substitute a very un-Batman-like Bruce Wayne into the costume before THAT would happen ...
