Colossus' strength level in the x-men encyclopedia is 100tonnes and in ultimate universe he lifted a submarine out of the water(thousands of tonnes!) and is getting stronger coz he's only a teenager. In ultimate war he beat the crap of iron-man and thor but a nuke from hakw-eye knocked him out. I gotta go with the big Russky, but either him or iron man could take it.Best of 5, colussus wins 3-2
Didn't Tony Stark design some kind of armour that could transform into any other design he ever built like stealth and drill? (he did in the cartoon but I don't know about the comic.) Because if he did and still uses it he could transform into the 'Exo' armour and incinerate Steel, Colossus and the city block in a barrage of weapon fire that would make most major countries jealous
Iron Man can't transform into other armors, that's just some BS from the cartoon so they could sell action figures.
Now just to clear up some inconsistancies. The War Machine armor is technically an Iron Man armor, infact it was originally called the Iron Man Variable Response Threat Battle Suit and Jim Rhodes went by the name of Iron Man at first while wearing it before Tony Stark came out of a coma and allowed Rhodes to keep the suit. War Machine and Iron Man have fought each other toe to toe but since Tony Stark built the suit he knows its weaknesses and Iron Man armor has advanced much farther than that since now and War Machine is gone, Jim Rhodes retired from being a super hero and last the War Machine armor was scene it was found by a criminal which put up a good fight against the more advanced Iron Man armor of the time, proving the War Machine armor is a good design but nothing the suit's creator can't handle.
As for the fight, Colossus isn't exactly in the same catagory as Iron Man and Steel. They're both technological heroes where as Colossus is a mutant. As it was said Colossus would have the dissability of not being able to fly and Iron Man's strength does exceed Colossus' (Iron Man has stood up to both Thor and the Hulk) and Steel is just a cruddy DC knock off of Iron Man and doesn't have the armaments and experience to take Iron Man down, plus Iron Man's armor is always improving as technology improves. They don't call him "The Invincible Iron Man" for nothing.
Shellhead is the clear winner in this one.
The Ultimate universe was mentioned, and it could go differently if you take the Ultimate stats where IM is severely wussed down in my opinion. Going with the original universe characters Iron Man who was always one of the strongest Avengers wouldn't have a lot of trouble.

Damn good facts there linkalicious!!i'm just big bias fan of Colossus I spose. How about in a bare knuckle boxing match?Bare- meaning no fancy suits. YAY!colossus wins!WOOOHOOO!
I meant Obviously with the facts. but you got it. yeah I think colossus can brawl it with the strongest of them being a class 100 tonne dude(x-men encyclopedia).He'd be stronger than Hulk at first coz when he first turns he's just a 70tonne lifter, but he gets madder a and stronger and soars into the hundreds. colossus v thing would be a good match up!
I agree with you on JUGs and HULK beatin colossus but thing?His limit is about 75/80 tonnes and isn't steel harder than rock? I mean I know thing is a damn good fighter but so is the big Ruskky.This isn't coz you Uncle Sam's still don't like Russians is it?

Nah....i luv Russians. It's because The Thing kicks ass and Colossus is a wuss. I don't think the fact that steel is harder than rock matters in this case. If they went smash mouth on eachother, i don't think the steel body would damage the rock body. And for some reason the Fantastic Four (though they seem like whimps) always kick the crap outta people
yeah I suppose it's a tough call really coz both have been described as 'nigh indestructable'. I think this is close as it gets as a fight.they even weigh the same(500lbs).As a boxing fan I'd have to point out that colossus has a reach advantage but thing prob has one of the best chins around! We should open this is as it's own thread. If we did, I bet everyone would agree with you coz everyone loves that 'everloving blue-eyed thing'.
Colossus shouldn't really be in this, I mean no disrispect to the Russian but let's face facts all he can really do is throw shit at the other two once they've flown into the air. And once he runs out of things to throw all he can do is stand around while Ironman takes potshots at him after he's dealt with his DC ripoff Steel
