Colossus History Featured Image
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While Colossus has always been one of the strongest members of the X-Men, at his core he is really a gentle giant. Piotr Nikolaievich Rasputin was raised on the Ust-Ordynski Collective farm in Siberia during the height of the Soviet Union. The young Russian always had the soul of an artist, but never imagined a life beyond that of a farmer.
Later, when Professor Charles Xavier comes calling to recruit Piotr to his new team of X-Men, the young man is torn between his heart and his conscience. While Piotr wishes to stay with his family in his home country, he knows that he must use his great power to help others. It’s a choice that will continue to haunt him throughout his life. While Colossus becomes one of the most essential and beloved members of the X-Men, it comes at a price.
13 Colossus Finds a New Love Among the Stars Secret Wars #5-12 by Jim Shooter, Mick Zeck and Bob Layton Close The love of Peter and Kitty faces its first test in the historic 1984 crossover event Secret Wars. When the X-Men are whisked away to Battleworld along with the rest of Marvel’s heroes, they find themselves in the fight of their lives against the villains of the Marvel Universe.
While they are out, they encounter the Juggernaut at the same bar, and a drunk Peter instigates a fight. Wolverine and Nightcrawler hold back, letting Peter fight on his own. Despite his considerable strength, Colossus is badly beaten by Juggernaut in the fight that also destroys the bar around them. It’s a great fight, but also teaches Colossus a valuable lesson. When he yells at Wolverine for not helping, Logan points out that Kitty helped Peter by almost joining the Morlocks to save his life.
Their search brings them into contact with the Marauders and a fight breaks out. Colossus is shocked by how cavalier these evil mutants are about killing innocents. In a fit of rage, he snaps the neck of one of the Marauders, Riptide, killing him instantly. Peter’s teammates are shocked by how the gentle giant has taken a life so easily, and it marks a major turning point in Colossus’ life.
During his time as "Peter Nicholas," Colossus would become romantically entangled with the Morlock leader Callisto, who is now a supermodel. 8 Colossus Becomes Disillusioned with the X-Men and Joins Magneto Uncanny X-Men #304 by Scott Lobdell, Jae Lee, Chris Sprouse, Brandon Peterson, Paul Smith, John Romita Jr. Close Colossus grows to see Xavier’s dream as an unattainable fantasy, as all the efforts to achieve peace between humans and mutants have brought him nothing but pain.

Once it is injected into a mutant, the cure will become airborne and eradicate the disease across the globe.
5 Colossus Becomes The New Juggernaut Uncanny X-Men #542 by Kieron Gillen and Greg Land Close It’s almost impossible to imagine a more powerful version of Colossus, but that’s exactly what X-Men fans got when Piotr Rasputin merged with the power of the Juggernaut. During the events of Fear Itself, the original Juggernaut Cain Marko is imbued with Asgardian power to become Kuurth, Breaker of Stone. This angers Cyttorak, the god that powers the Juggernaut, and he takes his power back from Cain.
After returning from a battle in the Negative Zone, Kitty Pryde surprises Piotr by asking him to marry her. He accepts, and the two begin planning a wedding. It appears that things are finally turning around for Piotr Nikolaievitch Rasputin. However, it all comes crashing down again on the day of their wedding, when Kitty leaves him at the altar. Her only explanation is that their messy history is a rocky foundation on which to build a marriage. Heartbroken, Peter leaves the team for Russia.
