First Appearance:
Giant Sized X-Men #1 (1975)
Powers:
Organic Steel: Colossus is a mutant with the superhuman ability to convert
the tissue of his entire body into an organic steel-like substance, granting
him superhuman strength and a high degree of resistance to bodily harm. This
substance, resembling organic steel, is of unknown composition but appears
to be analogous to osmium and to carbon steel. He is able to transform into
this armor-like state at will (the process is virtually instantaneous) and
remain in that form for an as yet undetermined amount of time. (The longest
time he has remained in armored form by choice so far has been five days).
Once in his armored form he remains so until he consciously wills himself
back to normal. If he is rendered unconscious, however, he spontaneously
reverts to his normal form. While in his armored state, Colossus possesses
the same degree of mobility that he does in his normal form.
The process by which Colossus transforms himself to armored form and back
(including his gain of additional mass from an unknown, perhaps
extra-dimensional, force) remains unknown. Colossus cannot become partially
or selectively armored; his body is either entirely converted or not. Even
his eyes become steel-like. It is not knowned what could pierce his armored
body although some super strong energy attacks can damage it. It has always
been asked if the adamantium claws of wolverine could plunge into his body
in armour state but that remains unseen.
Superhuman Durability: In his armored form Colossus is highly resistant to
most forms of bodily harm. His armor is capable of withstanding ballistic
penetration, including that of a 110 millimeter Howitzer shell. He could
survive a collision with a loaded, one-ton flatbed truck at 100 miles per
hour or an explosion of 450 pounds of TNT. He can survive extremes of
temperature from 70 degrees above absolute zero (-390 degrees Fahrenheit)
to approximately 9000 Fahrenheit. However, it is theorized that above the
latter temperature, his armored form would begin to melt. Colossus's armored
form cannot rust under normal Earth conditions.
Self-Sustenance: His normal lungs are capable of holding his breath for 3.6
minutes. in his armoured state Piotr as no need to breath,eat or sleep and
by being so he does not become tired like normal people.
Organic Steel Healing: ability to heal damage he suffered in his organic
steel form when he returns to human form, though he only can do this if the
damage is less then 70%.
Enhanced Endurance: due to his organic steel form he is granted enhanced
endurance.
Enhanced Speed: due to his organic steel form he is granted enhanced speed,
compinsating for his increased weight, allowing him to move basiclly as fast
as he could if he was unarmored.
Colossus is in unusually fine physical health, permitting the transition back
and forth from his normal organic flesh state to his armored form to occur
with minimal stress on his system.
Strength Level: In his normal state Piotr also has superhuman strenght at
least several times more than a normal man maybe due to his size and body
weight.In his armoured state however he is able of lifting or pressing about
90 tons under optimal conditions and becomes one of the most stronger beings
on earth able of put up a fight with the likes of Juggernaut, Thor, Thing
and many others and hold his ground.
"Known Abilities"- Piotr is the steel warrior with an artist soul and in his
heart he as always been more of a farmer than a warrior. His personality is
very sweet and tender and he is a very skilled artist in fact he is the
"picasso" of the x-men perfering to draw a picture of his teammates than to
put up a fight. he is a very noble soul and altought big and tough in aparence
his the most sensible of all the x-men.
Origin:
Piotr Rasputin was born on the Soviet collective farm called the Ust-Ordynski
Collective near Lake Baikal in Siberia. His superhuman powers emerged in
adolescence. At first, Rasputin was content simply to use these powers to aid
the other people of the Collective.
However, Rasputin was contacted by Professor Charles Xavier, founder of the
X-Men, when Xavier was organizing a new team of mutant X-Men to help him
rescue the original X-Men from the sentient island Krakoa. Rasputin agreed
to leave the farm community in which he was born and raised to go to America
with Xavier. Xavier gave Rasputin the code name "Colossus" and Rasputin aided
Xavier's other new recruits in their battle against Krakoa. After the battle
was won, Rasputin remained in the United States with the new X-Men while the
rest of his family stayed on the farm.
Rasputin's family always remained in his thoughts. Shortly thereafter a
woman known as Miss Locke kidnapped many of the X-Men's loved ones to use as
hostages in order to force the X-Men to aid her in freeing her employer,
Arcade, from captivity by one of Doctor Doom's robots. Among her captives
was Colossus's younger sister Illyana, whom Locke had somehow kidnapped from
the Siberian collective farm and transported to the United States. The X-Men
freed Illyana from captivity, and she went to live with her brother Piotr
(known as Peter in America) at Xavier's mansion. Due to her later captivity
in a dimension known as Limbo where she spent years while only mere moments
elapsed on Earth, Illyana became the adolescent sorceress known as Magik.
During the morlocks massacre at the hands of sinister´s marauders Colossus
was injured by wildtide shurikens and become unable to return to his human
form. Later along with the rest of the X-men he fought the magical being
knowned has the Adversary and was named dead altough he and the X-men were
ressurected by Roma and given a new home and base in Australia becoming radar
invisible. Later after the Inferno Crisis he and the rest of the X-men
returned to their base in Australia. After Storm´s " death" he along with
Havok,Dazzler and Psylocke crossed the Perilous Siege and he found himself
in new york but with no memories of his former life and became a famous
artist and became involved in a realtionship with the morlock Callisto.
later his memories returned and he once became an x-man. After Illyana was
returned to her true Earth age, Colossus thought it would be better for
Illyana if she went back to live with their parents. Sadly, her parents were
slain and she was kidnapped by a mutant known as the Soul Skinner who hoped
to genetically evolve Illyana to the point where she would have the use of
her powers again. Colossus, with the help of the X-Men, saved Illyana and
brought her back to the mansion.
Later, Illyana became the first tragic victim to be infected with the Legacy
Virus and die from it. The deaths of his immediate family caused Colossus to
rethink his position with the X-Men and join Magneto and his Acolytes, who
had offered him an alternative to the X-Men's way of fighting and living.
His stay with Magneto was not long once he realized that Avalon was not the
place for him, either. He left in search of the only person he felt truly
cared for him, his former love and teammate Kitty Pryde, now a member of
Excalibur. Colossus traveled to England, where he found Kitty in the arms of
her new love, Pete Wisdom. Colossus, enraged, attacked Wisdom, and although
the battle was short-lived, they both sustained minor injuries.
Colossus accepted Kitty's new life and chose to become a member of Excalibur.
Once the team dissolved, Kitty, Colossus and Nightcrawler returned to the
States and became active members of the X-Men.
Beast, one of his X-Men teammates, claimed to have found the cure for the
Legacy Virus after consulting the late Moira MacTaggert's notes. However, it
required a mutant to activate their powers, and the process would be fatal.
Colossus agreed to use it despite Beast's warnings that it might not work.
Colossus was successful, and the cure was spread worldwide, claiming his
life in the process. Colossus' body was supposedly cremated, and Kitty
scattered the ashes over his Russian farmland home; however, his body had
secretly been stolen by Ord, an alien who had learned that an Earthly mutant
would be responsible for destroying his world. Ord had come to Earth to
declare war, but the spy agency S.W.O.R.D., a sub-division of S.H.I.E.L.D.
handling extraterrestrial matters, was able to settle diplomatically with
him. Ord had Colossus restored to life and imprisoned him for years while
experimenting on him.
Ultimately, Ord discovered the Legacy Virus cure still in Colossus' system
and presented his findings to Benetech geneticist Doctor Kavita Rao, who
modified it to create a "cure" for the "mutant condition." Learning of the
cure, the X-Men went to Benetech to investigate. There, Kitty found Colossus
alive and, after overcoming her initial shock, took him to aid the X-Men
against Ord. Defeated, Ord was taken into custody, and Colossus returned
home with the X-Men to adjust to his new lease on life.
Currently Colossus has returned to the X-Men and his long love Shadowcat.
Despite his impressive physical power and stature, Colossus is actually one
of the gentlest and least-aggressive X-Men characters. He would prefer to
be a soft-spoken artist, but realizes his responsibility to use his powers
for the betterment of humanity.
Soon after, Colossus became involved in a mystery involving the deaths of
several of his cousins, all of whom (like himself) were descended from the
“doom of Old Russia”, Grigori Rasputin. It was eventually revealed that
Grigori was attempting to return through his descendants, and that his old
ally Mister Sinister had teamed with Colossus' brother Mikhail to hasten
the process. Ultimately, Mikhail sought to protect Colossus by exiling
himself to ensure Grigori could never return.

2. Intro
===============================================================================
Hello, this is my FAQ on Colossus of X-Men Legends II : Rise of Apocalypse, I am
mainly writing this FAQ because I like Colossus and he's my favoritte character.
a2. Why use Colossus?
Personally, I used Colossus because he was and still is my all time favorite
X-Men...but even if he has the lowest ratings, I don't see any difference with
him and any other tank in the game so why complain about him. Another thing is
that Colossus looks so much cooler than other characters because who else has
shiny skin? Aside from this he's got a cool russian accent...
a2.50. Strengths
He's got big damage, Might and other characteristics of a tank...
actually he is a typical tank. Plus! he's got a lot of passives AND
really really good damaging attacks PLUS the useful skill Mutant
Master so he doesn't lose his energy. and remember...HE IS MIGHTY,
HE IS COLOSSUS!!!
a2.75. Weaknesses
He can't fly, Teleport. that's the worst problem he has... aside
from this he only has melee attacks so he can't fight those who are
immune to melee but who cares...your not alone, you've got allies
b2. Costumes
Check these links out to see his costumes... I couldn't really find all of his
costumes so I'll just describe the once I couldn't find...

5. Playing Piotr
===============================================================================
Here I'll tell how to use, level up, etc.
a5. Strategy:
Since Colossus is a tank you should help your teammates by charging the
enemy head on and staying there fighting serving as a wall for the ranged
fighters in the team...When using Colossus the thing you should always
remember is to keep hitting because the best defense is a good offense.
You won't really be running out of EP since you have a lot of energy and
mutant master so you just have to keep attacking. When fighting
enemies charge in using Siberian Express than start hitting
with one Thunder Clap and then follow it up with a series of Melee attacks
than a Thunder Clap and then a series of Melee attacks and then repeat the
process until they're dead

6. Hints, Tips and Tricks
===============================================================================
a6. Easy Techbits (Thanks to techiedude)
Want techbits? All you have to do is to go to the Tower Apex
(end of Act 4) and break stuff...Want more? Read-on then...
here's how you do it in 5 easy steps:
1. Replace two of your current team members with Gambit and Toad,
if you aren't already using them on your team...
2. Ramp up Toad's Xtreme power "Plunder" and "Secretion" as high
as you can and ramp up Gambit's Xtreme power "Prince of Thieves"
and Energy Form as high as you can and a rank on staff Slam...
3. Go to the Tower Apex and Get ready to break stuff (not yet)...
4. Select Toad and activate "Plunder"and "Secretion" then select
Gambit and activate "Prince of Thieves" and "Energy Form" making
Gambit really Quick...
5. Break Stuff using staff slam...
Notes:
Keep in mind that their Xtreme powers are time-limited so you'll need to
use their Xtreme powers 3-4 times to clear the entire level of canisters
and get the maximum benefit (depending on how high their XTreme power is
leveled-up) but trust me you won't run out of Xtreme tokens because of all
things you break that give tokens (It practically pays for itself). By doing
this you'll get alot of techbits and I mean A LOT...this trick is great
for buying Skill points and levels.
b6. Team Choices
b6.50. Recommended Team Members

Nice Character who can support

Damage

c6. Colossus' Stats (Thanks to Majestros and PapaGamer)
c6.50. Bonus Points
All four stats have 250 point ceilings and there is no way to take back
assigned stat points. At every level increase, several bonus points are
automatically allocated to predetermined areas. Melee-oriented characters
typically receive regular Strike upgrades while spell-caster characters
end up with frequent Focus boosts. Thus, reaching the 250 point cap for
any one stat before hitting the lvl99 maximum equates to wasted stat points.
Here are the stats of an untouched Colossus at level 1 and 99:
At level 1:
Body : 20
Focus : 8
Strike: 24
Speed : 16
At level 99:
Body : 69
Focus : 8
Strike: 147
Speed : 41
c6.75. Hidden Maximums
Only Tech Stations and Danger Room missions can provide permanent increases
past the 250 point limit. However, stats have been known to reset if pushed
above their hidden preset maximums, making unplanned Tech Station usage
risky. Luckily, Danger Room mission bonuses have no effect on maxed out
stats. Use Tech Stations to swiftly approach a desired stat limit, then
switch over to Danger Room missions the rest of the way. The following table
catalogues every stat point cap in the game, taking the guesswork out of the
Tech Station gamble. Equipment enhancements are not bounded by these limits.
Here are the Hidden Maximums of Colossus:
Body : 304
Focus : 250
Strike: 310
Speed : 274
d6. Conversation with Kitty
In Act 4 Kitty Pryde will be there standing near the
sewers and if you talk to her using Colossus, you will
get cute but cheezy conversation between the two lovers...
P.S. I don't have the full conversation yet, I'll update it
when I get it...
