Yeah, he's back but they have him at Savage Hulk levels for some strange reason. Lol...I read a blog that Savage is suppose to curb Colossonaut but I don't trust anything coming from Google.

The first inquiry was indicative of the type of details most fans want to know: will Hulk and Juggernaut fight?

Fraction responded, "Yes, in issue #5."

Brubaker mentioned that issues one through five, which he termed "'AvX's' first act," would normally be considered an entire event by most readers, and the remaining issues would be two years' worth of stories for most publishers. Fraction added that issue five is so big, it feels like an ending, but it's not -- "There's seven more issues after that."

Fraction followed up, saying, "In issue #6, Hickman has written Colossus as you've never seen him before."

I don't think he need to keep the power but Colossus needed an upgrade a long time ago.

He didn't need an upgrade, he just needed to be written pretty much consistently the same way he was written by Whedon.

And if he keeps the amp, it will positively ruin the character.

JakeTheBank
I agree.

The idea that Colossus should be upgraded primarily for the sake of feats is dumb and the kind of battleboard mentality that makes comics suck.

Pretty much. And the sad thing is, at his strength level he's already capable of some pretty solid feats.

Because he won't be colossus anymore, he'll be a colossus/juggernaut hybrid.

JakeTheBank
Because being more powerful in of itself shouldn't be done at the expense of characterization?

There is no legitimate reason as to why Colossus should be upgraded other than to appease some of his fans who just want him to be stronger. Which isn't a good reason at all, imo.

colossus needed a upgrade long ago, without one his comics would suck.


just look at superman when he was created he wasnt anywhere near as powerful as he is now. did all the power he got ruinined the character ? no it made it more popular

going from being "more powerful than a locomative" to being strong enough to sneezing galaxys away is the biggest power up i ever seen.

I don't think he was boring at all, nor do I think he needed a character change; just better writers.

Thor being granted the Odin Force actually makes sense (key difference here) as it was his destiny to surpass Odin; the father becomes the son, the son becomes the father blah blah blah. That was the whole point of Thor: Disassembled. And now that Thor already experienced various degrees of empowerment with the Odin Force, it would be stupid for him to go back to King or Rune King Thor levels. Hell, I don't even really like current Fraction Thor; while not an upgrade per se, he's portrayed as far more aggressive and gives zero shits half the time when fighting wouldbe friends and allies. It still reeks of OOCness for me. He's been great for feats, but the stories have been less than stellar.

So, basically, Colossus should be upgraded for the sake of fights and feats and characterization be damned?

colossus should be upgrade simply because its more intresting. this is the very reason they upgraded him, and it shows in sales
new colossus=more popular /more sales
its that simple.

because when someone like thor gets an upgrade, it's done for a genuine reason. not like Colossus, which was just a stunt.

That's the idiocy of comic readers, not the character's fault.

Look at Aquaman, for example.

His characterisation has shifted considerably. I don't know how people aren't seeing that.

Colossus getting an amp by becoming a willing servant to Cytorrak is COMPLETELY different from Thor gaining powers from a source of energy which was always intended to be passed down to him by his father.

I shouldn't have to explain the mass difference in strength between the two.

colossus is definitely taking a back-seat to the new power he has now, but i don't claim to be a colossus fan so it's not breaking the comic imo.

last time i focused on him he died of the legacy virus. i don't even know how he's even in the comics atm, let alone why he was chosen to rock the juggernaut power. *shrug*

A casual fan wouldn't care if they didn't really know much about either Colossus or Juggernaut.

Probably because he's fairly one dimensional as an X-Men villains goes.

He's not as fleshed out as Magneto, Mr. Sinister, Apocalypse, a bunch of various Logan villains, the Hellfire Club, or other characters. His back story rarely gets brought up anymore unless he's in an Xavier specific arc and half the time he's basically just a brute for hire.

When's the last time he did any of that crap? Back in the day Juggernaut knew some sorcery but its hardly relevant now.

Also having multiple powers =/= not being a one dimensional character.

he was the perfect obstacle for the x-men back in the day (a prejudice human that had a beef with xavier, and had the power to withstand simply getting his brain rewired right off the bat, though with teamwork the x-men can get rid of him till the next time the series needs that mid-boss fight after a lull), but over the years he never really got any depth or signs of innovation.

i found it kinda funny when hulk did juggernaut's job far more casually than he did in the WWH tie-in, and then when classic juggernaut actually made his re-appearance to face the guy who replaced his only role in comics, he was tossed out like trash, then later hulk's own what...6 month-2 year old son owned him.

psycho gundam
you'd be hard-pressed to find a definitive juggernaut moment, let alone an arc that can be labeled as "essential juggernaut" (meaning good juggernaut material that displays the merit of the character)

the cartoon is all he really has, even gladiator has more than just that.

nwg202
Well, here is my two cents, Regular Colossus wouldn't have a spot on the Extinction team. He simply lacked the power to make that roster. You have people like Hope, Magik and Magneto operating on the same team.

Namor, Emma or Storm are probably the weakest people on that roster. ( Scott is the leader, so he gets a pass) You can argue that Namor and Danger are just as strong as regular Colossus plus they can do all sorts of other things. ( especially danger) The only way you can be the main brick for a team like this is if you become a hulk, juggernaut level type individual.

If regular Colossus was on the e-team, I am sure a lot of people would call him out and say he is a useless addition and there are a lot of powerful mutants you can add in. You already have two cl 100 strength wise characters in the roster who can do so much more.

You can't do a lot of stories on someone who cant get hurt by anything. Especially someone in a monthly title who is a hero. People thinking Colossus will never get hurt are dreaming. That's why they had to depower Cain when he turned good. What kind of stories can you write if you can't get hurt? He gets mind raped or bfr'ed in every issue? That will get old really fast.

Superman gets hurt, Thor gets hurt, silver surfer gets hurt, Hulk gets hurt.

Anyone who expects Colossus to just keep walking and tanking everything in every issue being a hero and being on a team book is crazy. Besides classic Cain has displayed moments of feeling pain. People just tend to play that godblast and forcefield thing all the time. I am pretty sure i can find scans of Cain grunting in pain...WWhulk was able to damage his helmet despite being "fully powered"
