Luke Cage vs Thing vs Colossus: Durability

The only time he's drawn blood, he was amped up by a demon. Every other time he's just gotten sparks.

No I think there was an earlier scan in the 90s where Colossus stated that Wolverine almost cut him to the bone.

Some demon bit Colossus recently and he was bleeding from the arm.

Also the bit with Shaw in his hallucination.

And Omega Red digging his fingers in his skin.

IMHO, Thing wins in all except magic resistance (Colossus got that one in the bag).

Also, Colossus' showings vs Wolverine's claws are sort of inconsistent. In one showing he slashes Colossus and nothing but sparks happen. In other showings he actually draws blood. I wish the writers would make up their minds.

naw, cage almost certainly has the best to resistance.

Yeah, it's especially stupid when Logan is drawing blood from much more durable characters but somehow can't cut colossus.

His worst classic showing has him scoring Piotr's armor and the impartial narrator stating that its no match for adamantium.

One attempt doesn't matter much, anyway. Wolverine failed to cut Exodus once, but succeeded in every other attempt. Fully TO Cable withstood the claws to the torso, then got stabbed two times. WWH got props for him for no-selling one swipe, then got cut the shit out of him. There are more examples, I'm sure.

(...) some cuts shallow, others deep, some doing no real damage -- others, considerable.

You sure? Thing is incredibly strong willed and has resisted powerful telepaths like Xemu and the Serpent Crown itself (the previous owner was calling it back to him but still). Nothing Cage has done compares to that.

he resisted planetary to that was also mystical in nature (it should be noted that everyone on the face of the planet was affected by it and characters like captain america, iron man, etc were all affected by it).

Colossus is the obvious #1 but who is #2?

He's only #1 in magic resistance. Thing is #1 in the rest.

naw, luke cage is clearly taking the first category. Both Peter and Ben got wrecked by hulk. The very fact that hulk had to sick his minions (who had to resort to bfr) on luke says that luke would have kicked his ass while taking absolutely no damage. I have solid evidence backing all of this.

I'd put Cage above Grimm for sure.

I was thinking

Luke
Colossus
Thing

Not sure what his best tp resistance feat is, but he did kind of hang out with some of the strongest telepaths in the Marvel Universe throughout his young adulthood so I would surmise that he would have more experience with tp than the Thing or Luke Cage.

Ever heard of Franklin Richards?

That's 1 vs 6+

I think that was in INFERNO.

Magik also tore through his armor. He was surprised that he was bleeding since he was supposed to be made of solid metal.

I remember Colossus was supposed to bleed energy if you managed to get past this armor. He was bleeding energy when the Celestial blasted him IIRC. Has he ever bled from a non magical attack?

Logan's claws?

Is that book not canon, though?

He "bled" energy during the Mutant Massacre storyline, but I don't think it was meant as literal blood. More a disruption in the energy that makes his armoured form so special.

Colossus had red blood when demon Logan slashed him. Utterly terrible writing.

scans of him drawing blood. I never seen Logan ever damage Colossus.
