| Deadpool & Wolverine uses the designation Earth-10005 for the revised timeline, which is the same designation used for the original timeline. As such, the wiki is currently operating on the basis that Wolverine overwrote the same timeline without creating a branch. Despite the overwrite, certain pages have been marked with "/Revised Timeline" to distinguish events that occurred pre-timeline rewrite with those that occurred post-rewrite. |
- "I should have left you in the self-pitying mess I found you in. But this is what friends do. They show up! Not when convenient or easy. When hard."
- ―Colossus to Deadpool
Colossus (born Piotr Nikolayevich Rasputin, Russian: Пётр Николаевич Распутин) is a member of the X-Men and a mutant who can transform his entire body into organic steel.
Biography[]
Early Life[]
Rasputin is born
Piotr Rasputin was born in 1986 during the Chernobyl disaster in Soviet-era Russia, which triggered mutation in babies.[1] Unlike his original timeline self, who was raised in the United States of America as Peter Rasputin, this version was raised in Russia as Piotr Rasputin.[2] This is most likely because in the revised timeline, Mystique's saving of Richard Nixon in 1973 and the actions of the X-Men in 1983, both of which led to mutants being socially accepted,[3] resulted in Rasputin's family feeling safe enough to raise their child in their home country instead of fleeing to the United States.
Member of the X-Men[]
Ajax Incident[]
- "Wade, you're better than this. Join us. Use your powers for good. Be a superhero."
"Listen! The day I decide to become a crime-fighting shit swizzler, who rooms with a bunch of other little whiners at the Neverland mansion of some creepy, old, bald, heaven's gate looking motherfucker...on THAT day...I'll send your shiny happy ass a friend request. But until then, I'm going to do what I came here to do. Either that, or slap the bitch outta you." - ―Colossus and Deadpool
After learning about a new mutate named Deadpool, Colossus attempted to convince him to use his powers for good and join the X-Men several times, with no success. One day, while eating cereal in the X-Mansion for breakfast, Colossus spotted Deadpool on the news, having caused a great deal of mayhem on a bridge during his ambush on Ajax's goons. Seeing this as an opportunity, Colossus and his student, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, took the X-Jet and were able to stop Deadpool from killing Ajax himself, allowing the latter to escape in the process. Enraged, Deadpool tried to attack Colossus, but ended up breaking most of his limbs. Colossus then subdued Deadpool and handcuffed him, planning on taking him back to the mansion to talk with Professor X. However, before they were able to re-board the X-Jet, Deadpool escaped by cutting his cuffed hand off.
Colossus with Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Deadpool
Later, Deadpool enlisted the help of Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead in order to rescue Vanessa Carlysle from Ajax. During the ensuing fight on a decommissioned helicarrier, Colossus fought Angel Dust and nearly lost to her in battle due to his sense of chivalry. However, before she could kill him, Negasonic intervened and was able to save Colossus from being strangled with her explosive powers. After managing to get Negasonic and Angel Dust to safety when the explosion destabilized the carrier, Colossus tried to convince Deadpool to spare Ajax's life. However, despite his speech about the virtues of being a hero, Deadpool fatally shot Ajax in the head. Although disgusted by Deadpool's choice to kill Ajax, Colossus managed to get the former to promise that he would be more heroic moving forward and departed the scene with Negasonic as Deadpool and Vanessa reunited and reconciled with one another.
Training Deadpool[]
When Deadpool blew himself up after the death of Vanessa Carlysle, Colossus collected Deadpool's body parts and took him to the X-Mansion to recover. While there, Colossus managed to convince Deadpool to join the X-Men. Colossus, Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Deadpool responded to a call about a mutant running wild at the Essex House for Mutant Rehabilitation. While there, Deadpool managed to talk the mutant – Russell Collins – down but then proceeded to kill members of the orphanage staff after realizing that they had abused the boy. Deadpool was arrested and Colossus was shocked and disappointed, especially given that Wade committed these murders on live television in an X-Men trainee uniform, essentially tarnishing the X-Men name as well as worsening mutant-human relations in general.
Colossus fighting Juggernaut
Sometime later, Deadpool tried to apologize to Colossus by standing outside his window blasting a song. Colossus ignored Deadpool's efforts but eventually decided to help him. Taking Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Yukio, Colossus headed to the Essex House to help him stop Juggernaut and Russell. Colossus fought Juggernaut, eventually resorting to fighting dirty. He was helped by Yukio and Negasonic, finishing the fight by electrocuting Juggernaut in a pool of water.
Teaching Students[]
Rasputin teaching a class
In 2023, Rasputin was at the X-Mansion standing in the classroom next to Kitty Pryde as she gave a presentation to other students.
Wade Wilson's Birthday Party[]
In 2024, Colossus was invited to Wilson's surprise birthday party at his apartment, along with fellow X-Men Phimister and Yukio, as well as the rest of Wilson's friends. After surprising Wilson when he returned home, all the guests mingled with each other. Colossus spoke with Wilson, who asked the former if he was watching anything, to which Colossus replied The Great British Bake Off. All the guests listened to Wilson make a speech about how grateful he was to have them in his life.[4]
Westchester Incident[]
In 2028, Charles Xavier developed Alzheimer's and suffered a massive seizure that injured 600 people, and killed 7 mutants, including several members of the X-Men. It is unknown if Colossus was among those who were either killed or injured.
By 2029, one of the X-Men comics read by Laura, Colossus is one of the members of the X-Men alongside Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, Rogue, and Charles Xavier looking for a place called Eden.
Personality[]
- "I haven't always been the best friend to you. But you've always been that to me. So thank you."
- ―Deadpool to Colossus
Colossus seems to have an honorable nature, as he constantly tries to urge Deadpool to join the X-Men and even tried to convince him to spare Ajax. He is also extremely respectful to women, choosing not to hurt Angel Dust until he was forced to and also covered his eyes when he saw Angel Dust's breasts. Colossus seems to dislike obscene or explicit displays, as shown when he displays a distaste for Deadpool's violent actions and dirty language.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Organic Steel Transformation: Colossus can convert the tissues of his entire body into an organic, steel-like substance. This substance resembling steel is of an 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. Once in his armored form, he remains so until he consciously wills himself back to normal. While in the armored state, Colossus possesses the same degree of mobility that he does in his normal form. However, Colossus spends most of its time turned into metal.
- Superhuman Strength: After transforming into his armored state, Colossus possesses vast, inhuman strength, allowing him to send people flying with one arm, break stone or dent metal effortlessly, and is immune to the strength of regular humans and even most superhumans. Only Angel Dust and Juggernaut have been able to match him in strength or overpower him. His strength level is roughly 100 tons.
- Superhuman Durability: In his armored form, Colossus is completely bulletproof and invulnerable to most forms of bodily harm. He can also survive falls from great heights while in his armored body. He is also completely unaffected by Negasonic Teenage Warhead's explosion at full power, even though it was able to incapacitate Angel Dust and cause extensive damage to their surroundings.
- Superhuman Stamina: Also, while in armored form, Colossus' musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins than the musculature of a normal human. At his peak, he can physically exert himself at peak capacity for several days before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to impair him.
Abilities[]
Colossus fighting Juggernaut
- Master Combatant: Colossus is an extremely skilled and formidable fighter. He was skilled enough to fight on even footing against Angel Dust, an incredibly skilled fighter in her own right, and would have likely defeated her had it not been for his sense of chivalry. He also showed his advanced combat skills with his fight against Juggernaut, but was eventually overwhelmed by the latter's superior strength.
- Physical Education Teacher: Colossus seems to have a good understanding of physical health and diet as he trains the younger X-Men, such as Negasonic Teenage Warhead. This is notable when Colossus advises her on not skipping breakfast and eating a protein bar after a good workout.
- Skilled Pilot: Colossus is capable of piloting the X-Jet.
