Everyone is in their normal state.

Rank in order from most durable to least in each of the following situations:

1. Who can survive a beating from WWH the longest before being KOed?

2. Who can survive the hottest temperature before being burned?

3. Who can withstand the greatest pressure before being crushed?

4. Who can withstand the most pressure from an adamantium spike before being pierced?

5. Who can withstand the most energy blasts from Thanos before being KOed?

6. Who can withstand the most powerful telepathic assault?

7. Who can withstand the strongest attack imbued with magic?

you mean 6&7 right? Well he's metal and has disrupted magical beings or hurt them with his body. As for the TP? I assumed that they would all be ruined by an powerful mind assault so it really may not matter. Aside from recently being portrayed to be coated by Omnium instead of being the substance through and through as portrayed in the old days, Peter was able to no sell Wolverines claws, which cut the Thing's head open with little trouble.

Yeah I meant 6 and 7. Weren't most of those instances based around how his enemies are particularly vulnerable to cold steel? Ben probably has the longest history of surviving magic and just last year, cage resisted and powered through planetary TP (which was also magic in nature)

Also Peter used his body to hurt the Adversary way back in the 90's. Wolverine cut Ben's face which led him to wear that helmet way back when as well. Hope you recall some of those times?

Yes it is due to him being made of metal, but that is a part of his power, and durability so... Also I forgot about the Cage feat. I think that Cage is more resistant to harm than Ben in many of these cases, but peter tops both. Well except for the TP resistance.

It used to be part of Colossus' powerset, iirc, that he was actually a disruptive force to magic, or immune to it in some way. Not that they really bother bringing it up nowadays...

He got his arms bent by a Hulk who fought with him longer than most others and actually got props that he'd be a good fight for a lesser version of Hulk.

Thing on the other hand got his face smashed open in only a few hits and had no fight in him at all.

has colossus ever faced thor?

carver9
Yes and Thor two pieced him.

KingD19
Only once that I'm aware of. It was after AvX when Colossus' couldn't fully control his powers and had to wear a containment suit to control his transformation.

They basically played Thor up as a super fast, warrior god with the skills of millions of years and made Colossus out to be a super slow clod who'd never fought a day in his life.(The talking cemented it as Thor pointed out how Colossus was strong, but he couldn't hurt what he couldn't hit or something like that)

He did a maneuver that ended up with Colossus on the ground and that was the whole fight. He wasn't hurt to my knowledge, just out of the way.

carver9
Colossus powers were acting up due to his power loss from Cyttorak.

Fought? That's not the correct term. Waded or decimated is more like it. No one on those X-Men teams did much to him aside from Kitty who sunk his arms into concrete which he quickly healed from. Everyone else got beat down. Rockslide got his arms tossed, M and Emma were nothing, he was ignoring basically everyone. So let's not act like he was really hurt. Just annoyed.

Then he and Colossus fought, Colossus put up a damn good fight, got his props, then Hulk took him down too. It was more of a fight than between WWH and Thing though.

DarkSaint85
Yeah. As soon as WWH got serious, Piotr got bent.

Hulk was super pissed when he fought Fantastic Four as he was there to capture Reed.

He wasn't as much angry as he faced Xavier as he knew Xavier didn't shoot him in space.

Colossus got some lip service like Martian Manhunter and got immediately owned.

While Hulk was actually going to kill Ben before sue stopped him.

I haven't been reading in the last few months, but I haven't heard anything.

The only confusion I remember was over whether he was a solid metal "block", or if he had metal skin, metal organs and metal blood etc. He wouldn't be less tough either way though. Doesn't help that Marvel doesn't really go out of their way to specify.

The cartoon currently on Disney XD. Juggernaut was weak as shit in that episode, and as soon as Spidey got his helmet off(I guess because they had no telepaths), they just made it so it was the source of all his power. He headbutted a girder and ko'd himself. I shit you not.

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

StiltmanFTW
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.

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.

laughing Okay.

I understand that you believe he's a solid chunk of metal with no blood inside (or at best it not being red in color), but... Aaron is hardly the only writer to make Colossus bleed.

Pete Wisdom, Omega Red (under Bru), recently a demon-king from Limbo...

Actually no, lol. stick out tongue

My belief is that he's metal all the way through, but in the sense that every part of him, every organ, every cell is also metal. It explains why he has bones, and why he can "bleed".

Bleeding red blood just seems stupid to me, and inconsistent. Could be artist error, sure.

I'm still not sure if this whole Limbo book is canon though, unless you mean a different one.

LOL, quite true. Wouldn't be comics, though.

Ah. I see. Only Whedon got it right, then... in the battle vs. Shaw illusion. Even the Hulk has been drawn bleeding red though (many times), so it's not that bad of an error. Not for Marvel's standards, where most editors take cash for doing a whole lot of nothing.

I admit I'm not sure myself (talking about juggs' scans from the respect thread of course). The whole Secret Wars event made it unclear as to what is and what is not canon.

Come to think of it, if Vector wasn't braced, shouldn't he be sliding back himself?

I found a bunch of references that directly state he has bones, or that his body reacts like a normal body.

Plus, he had sex with Domino, so it would stand to reason that he has something resembling blood.

Shaw is the best example though, yeah.

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.

Yeah, I'm not sure if the Secret War's tie ins are canon.

Regarding magical based foe's making him bleed, I guess i can buy it depending on the power of the opponent. The more powerful magic users tend to veer into reality warping category.

Magik made a regular chair "bleed" and sliced a robot in half with each half turning into demon like things complete with individual thought.

How powerful was the demon that took over Logan? Was reality warping a part of this power set?

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.



thumb up

Colossus didn't seem to bleed after S'ym broke off a piece and Logan's claws and impailed him with it. The demon also tanked Logan's slashes without getting scratched.

More like instantly healing than tanking. He did get stabbed.

As for Colossus, yeah, back in the day you couldn't really find an instance with him bleeding. Riptide shurikens are another example.

Multiple demons, actually. Not clear what his exact powerset was. I guess it's plausible he was capable of some low reality manip feats, as he did go Resident Evil on Angel and reversed Magneto's powers.

In the same era of comics, Colossus has been shown bleeding on other occasions, so it's not that much of a deal.

I honestly don't know, now that I think about it.

It's sad though, as under Claremont very specifically wanted Colossus to have a high degree of resistance to magic/sorcery, even going so far as to have Colossus say he was impervious to magic due to how similar his body was to iron (something that the demons at the time were severely allergic to).

Agreed. I personality would still give him a high degree of resistance to magic. I wouldn't expect some random two bit magician or demon to be able to affect him. When it comes to higher tier magic users that might be a different story. I can't picture him waltzing into Mephisto's realm or any hell realm for that matter and seeing him just tanking everything thrown at him.

Similar to people with TP shields, most of them have high resistance but not complete immunity. Cain got TP'ed by Jean with his helmet on IIRC.

I'd be fine with something like that, but it genuinely feels like, at times, nobody read the Claremont stuff, or they did and just don't care as it doesn't serve the story.

When I think of Colossus body composition I think of him being solid metal. Meaning bones, organs, etc. as being steel. There has been numerous instances stating he has steel bones and the like. There is also times where he has been shown to bleed red, like when Juggernaut was recently punching him in the Amazing X-Men issue as I recall he was spitting out blood.

The two times he had his arms broken I got the impression that he was solid metal mostly because Strong Guy had to bend them back into place so Elixir could heal them when he turned human. I also think when Pete Wisdom damaged him his spine was stated as being metal iirc.

Basically the writers/editors need to get their sh!t together on this.

-Pr-
I don't recall Juggernaut making him bleed, but iirc Colossus mentioned that he had broken ribs, which further supports him having metal organs/bones etc.

juggernaut74
Before he got the full power back Cain was making him spit out blood or maybe I am remembering wrong.

I also recall reading a couple of issue where it was stated that Colossus don't have vitals such as a heartbeat or pulse or something along those lines.

KingD19
Cain hit him and "blood" supposedly sprayed from his mouth. But if it's blood, it shouldn't be red as his powers clearly state he doesn't even have carbon atoms in that form. It's all exchanged for metal, so if he did bleed, it'd be similar to when Shaw clapped his ears in his vision and what looked like mercury came out.

And I saw it earlier, but on the topic of Omega Red making him bleed, it looked like he was somehow turning him normal again which is the only explanation on how that should have/could have happened.
