Steel Colossus (Marvel Comics). Six reasons for hate Peter Rasputin

You cannot be so big and strong as to have no enemies at all. Probably, Peter Rasputin realized this when there were several villains who defied the two-meter giant.

Origin

So, who is still such a Colossus (Marvel Comics)? The biography of this character is quite interesting. Pyotr Nikolaevich Rasputin was born and raised on his parents' farm, located near Lake Baikal. He had a brother Michael and a sister, Ulyana, and all three were mutants. The brother soon died, and the sister was too small to engage in a farm, so the whole economy fell on Peter's shoulders.

He first learned about his abilities when his sister almost died under the wheels of a tractor. Peter stopped him, thereby demonstrating tremendous power. But that is not all. For example, he realized that he could turn his body into a piece of metal. At the same time, its growth increases by a quarter, and the weight doubles. It does not need food, water and is able to withstand critical temperatures. The resulting wounds after transformation instantly heal. The reverse transformation occurs at will, however, if the hero loses consciousness, then the metal shell will disappear, making him very vulnerable.

It would seem that with such characteristics, it is unlikely that anyone would dare to harm a steel mutant. But there were such, and several of them.

Arcade

The arcade is an evil genius and an inventive hired killer. He has his own deadly amusement park, from which usually no one comes out alive. He is well versed in mechanisms and uses his knowledge to create robots. But most importantly, the Arcade can not stand the X-Men. And, of course, he was glad when he had the chance to harm them.

Despite the fact that the services of the Arcade are expensive, he was ready to work out the mutants of Professor Xavier absolutely free. The villain went on a trick. Playing with the memories of Peter, he forces the Colossus to attack the X-Men. But the steel giant manages to get rid of its influence and Arcade had to retreat.

Dr. Doom

The next rival of the Colossus was Victor Von Doom. Of course, he hated the Fantastic Four most of all, but the X-Men were glad to punish him again. Dr. Doom is a versatile personality. He is well versed in physics, cybernetics, genetics and biochemistry. And in his arsenal there are both mystical abilities and witchcraft, which at one time he was taught by the witch Morgan Le Fay.

So, during the “Secret Wars” a cosmic entity named the Otherworld decided to arrange a battle of heroes and villains. And the battlefield, he chose another planet. Dr. Doom was there too. During the battle, he manages to appropriate part of the power of the Otherworld and with its help kill almost all the heroes. The Colossus (Marvel Comics) was for him "the last Negro." That's just the steel shell protected the body of the mutant, and the life force of the healer Tsseji (his girlfriend) helped revive the dead comrades.

Fate

The next serious opponent of Colossus was Fate - a villain with psi abilities. Its capabilities are amazing, because the mutant is able not only to foresee the future, but also to manipulate it in its own way.

On that day, the X-Men fought Fate in Dallas. Colossus (Marvel Comics) asked his sister to move him to the battlefield. Of course, his help was invaluable, but the enemy was too strong, so the mutants had to sacrifice themselves to save the world. True, they were later resurrected by the gypsies, but Peter's sister, seeing the broadcast of the battle on television, became depressed, and then became the “Dark Child”.

Shadow king

The Shadow King or Amal Farouk is a telepath who is able to control people and other creatures at the astral level. Essentially, it is an entity made up of pure psychic energy. Perhaps that is why there is nothing to say about him. It is only known that he first appeared in 1931 in the body of Amal Farouk, who worked for Hitler's agents. And then he returned in the same body in 1971, where he joined the secret organization of freedom fighters “V-Battalion”.

It so happened that the Shadow King was able to trick Colossus into control and force him to attack Charles Xavier. "Professor X" managed to reason the ward, and then decided to fight the Shadow King himself, but lost. Several mutants went to rescue him, among which was the Colossus (Marvel Comics). When they scattered the energy of the Shadow King, he fell into a deep coma.

Horde "Destroyer"

This one you can understand is the Horde of the Destroyer. He was fortunate enough to be born on the planet Breakworld, where technologies to predict the future are sold in every stall. And once he was predicted that a mutant from Earth in the near future would destroy his planet. He did not wait for his fate, so he set off to look for his enemy. And that mutant turned out to be Colossus (Marvel Comics).

On Earth, Ord did not experience any resistance. On the contrary, the Shch.I. T organization did not defend the mutant, but gave it away without question. Ord accepted the “gift”, imprisoned it, and for a long time set up experiments that led to unpredictable results.

The alien found out that in the body of Colossus there is a component necessary to create a cure for the Heritage virus (it affects the DNA of mutants). This information spread instantly and the X-Men, packing their bags, went for whey. Arriving, the team freed the Colossus, and he helped them defeat the enemy. And the fact that the Horde was once predicted ultimately came true.

Kane Marco (Juggernaut)

Kane's father Marco at one time married the widow of Xavier, so Charles and Kane lived in the same house. But when the guy grew up, he went to Korea in search of the Sittorak stone. According to legend, the one who touches the stone will forever become a Juggernaut. And Kane touched him.

But soon the power that he began to possess fell into bad hands. The Midgard Serpent, subduing Kane, took possession of it. Under his control, the Juggernaut attacked San Francisco to wipe the city of California from the face of the earth. X-Men could not stop the mutant, so they decided to use the latter option.

Ulyana (Peter's sister) helped several wards of Professor Xavier to get into the “Crimson Space”, where they met the demon Sittorak. The heroes explained to him that Cain Marco flew off the coils and is currently destroying the American city. To which Sittorak replied that the power of the stone was intended for this. But when he knew who Kane was now serving, the demon became furious and demanded a new servant. He gave the X-Men another stone touched by the Colossus (Marvel Comics).

Having received new strength, the mutant teleported to Earth, to the place where Kane Marco destroyed everything. Two thugs clashed in a fierce battle. But the Colossus understands that even with a Sittorak stone, Marco is superior in strength, because he is supported by the Midgard Serpent. Nevertheless, he notices how the energy of the stone slowly fills it. He begins to beat the enemy and practically kills Kane, but the Serpent manages to teleport him. This time, the conflict with Marco is settled, and the Colossus becomes the new Juggernaut.

Colossus (Marvel Comics): film

Of course, it seems that the Colossus is definitely a bulky mutant. To get a more complete picture of him, you must either read comics, or to understand how Marvel Comics, smotret onlayn films look from the director’s point of view. True, so far all of his roles are of secondary importance.

For example, in the film “X-Men 2,” he is shown in one episode where he rescues students during an attack on a school. In the movie "X-Men: The Last Battle," Colossus, along with other mutants, fights with Magneto. And in the film "X-Men: days of the past future," he manages to die, and then resurrect. He was more fortunate in the fantastic action movie "Deadpool", where Colossus is an anti-hero comrade and is shown in several episodes, including the final one.
