HISTORY

Born on the Ust-Ordynski Collective in Russia, Piotr Rasputin grew up a dutiful son and a responsible worker on his family’s farm. His mutant abilities manifested when he rescued his younger sister Illyana from a runaway tractor. Soon after, Charles Xavier recruited him to join the second generation of X-Men, whose first mission was rescuing the previous team from the living island of Krakoa.

His tenure with the X-Men taught Rasputin how to control his powers and introduced him to many good friends and his long-time love, Kitty Pryde. It also pushed him into a life where he has lost many loved ones and discovered uncomfortable truths about his family, his brother, and his homeland.

In his reality, the mutant-killing Legacy Virus never appeared but the mutant population was decimated by the creation of the mutant-hunting robots known as The Sentinels.

After his team was killed by the Sentinel Nimrod and a cadre of dozens of Sentinels, Colossus dedicated his life to the protection of mutantkind and when a corruption of Sentinel programming caused them to target humans as well, Colossus led a team of Earth’s heroes in a massive campaign against the robots.  In the middle of the final push versus Nimrod and The Master Mold, Colossus vanished from his reality to join the world-hopping team known as the Exiles.

PERSONALITY

Piotr Rasputin is a simple and caring soul often forced into violent situations. Before losing his friends and fellow mutants, he was shy, trusting, and somewhat guileless, though capable of tremendous rage when he sees his friends hurt or innocents suffer. He is also selfless, bravely putting himself in harm’s way time and time again to protect those weaker than himself. He prefers to hide his deeper emotions behind a stoic exterior, although his artistic talents provide an outlet for his friends to appreciate.

Given the tumultuous events of the past few years on his Earth, particularly the deaths of his entire team of X-Men at the hands of the mutant hunting Sentinels, he has an even greater appreciation for the fragile joys of love and life. As a result, he has rededicated himself to the protection of mutantkind.

ABILITIES & RESOURCES

Using his mutant gifts, Colossus can grow to massive heights. In this form he possesses superhuman strength and resistance to injury.  Early in his career Piotr could only increase to 15 feet tall, but as his powers matured, this limit disappeared. Years of training with Professor X and the Danger room and with other heroes has made him an effective hand-to-hand combatant, especially at giant size.
