Pr, you need to know that it's been happening a lot in recent years.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Okay.
