The Steel Colossus (Marvel Comics). Six reasons for the hatred of Peter Rasputin

You can not be so big and strong that you do not have enemies at all. Perhaps this was realized by Peter Rasputin, when there were several villains who had thrown down the challenge of the two-meter giant.

Origin

So, who is the same Colossus (Marvel Comics)? The biography of this character is quite interesting. Petr Nikolayevich Rasputin was born and raised on a farm of his parents, located near Lake Baikal. He had brother Mikhail and sister Ulyana, and, all three were mutants. His brother was soon lost, and his sister was too small to farm, so the whole farm fell on Peter's shoulders.

For the first time he learned about his abilities when his sister nearly 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, his growth increases by a quarter, and the weight is doubled. He does not need food, water and is able to withstand critical temperatures. The resulting wounds immediately after transformation become overgrown. The reverse transformation occurs at will, but if the hero loses consciousness, the metal shell will disappear, making it 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 there are several of them.

Arcade

Arcade is an evil genius and an inventive hired killer. He has his own park of deadly entertainment, from which usually no one leaves alive. He is well versed in the mechanisms and uses his knowledge in the creation of robots. But the main thing is that the Arcade can not stand the X-Men. And, naturally, he was delighted when a chance to hurt them fell out.

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

Dr. Doom

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

So, during the "Secret Wars" cosmic entity called the Otherworld decided to organize a battle of heroes and villains. And by the battlefield he chose another planet. There was also Doctor Doom. During the battle, he manages to assign part of the power of the Otherworld and with its help to kill almost all the heroes. The Colossus (Marvel Comics) was for him "the last negro". Here, only the steel shell protected the body of the mutant, and the life-force of the healer Tssegi (his girlfriend) helped revive the dead comrades.

Fate

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

On that day, the X-Men fought with Destiny in Dallas. The 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 for the sake of saving the world. Them, however, then resurrected the gypsies, but Peter's sister, seeing the broadcast of the battle on TV, fell into depression, and then became a "Dark Child".

Shadow King

The Shadow King or Amal Farouk is a telepath, able to control people and other creatures on the astral level. In fact, it is an entity consisting of pure psychic energy. Probably, therefore, there is nothing to say about him. It is only known that he first appeared in 1931 in the body of Amal Faruk, who worked for Hitler's agents. And then returned in the same body in 1971, where he joined the secret organization of freedom fighters "V-battalion".

It turned out that the Shadow King was able to take control of Colossus and force him to attack Charles Xavier. "Professor X" managed to reason the ward, and then decided to fight with the Shadow King, but lost. To save him went several mutants, among whom was the Colossus (Marvel Comics). When they scattered the energy of the Shadow King, he fell into a deep coma.

Ord the Destroyer

Here, who can be understood, is the Horde of the Destroyer. He was fortunate enough to be born on the planet Breakworld, where technologies that allow predicting the future are sold in every stall. And one day he was predicted that a mutant from Earth in the near future will destroy his planet. He did not wait for his fate, so he went himself to look for his enemy. And that mutant was the Colossus (Marvel Comics).

On Earth, Ord did not experience any resistance. On the contrary, the organization "Shch.I.T." did not defend the mutant, but gave it without questions. Ord took a "gift", imprisoned him and for a long time put experiments that led to unpredictable results.

The stranger found out that in the body of the Colossus there is a component necessary to create a cure for the "Heritage" virus (striking DNA mutants). This information spread instantly and the X-Men gathered their suitcases and went for the serum. Arriving, the team freed the Colossus, and he helped them defeat the enemy. And the fact that the Horde was once predicted, eventually came true.

Kane Marco (Juggernaut)

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

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

Uliana (sister of Peter) helped several students of Professor Xavier to get into the "Crimson Space", where they met the demon Sittorak. The heroes explained to him that Cain Marco fell from the reels and is currently destroying the American city. To which Sittorak replied that the strength of the stone is for this purpose. But when he found out who Kane was serving now, the demon was furious and demanded a new servant. He gave the X-Men another stone, which was touched by the Colossus (Marvel Comics).

Having received a new force, the mutant teleported to Earth, to the place where Kane Marco was crashing everything. Two thugs were clinging to a fierce battle. But Colossus understands that even with the 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 almost 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 exactly a large mutant. To get a better idea of it, you either need to read comic books, or to understand how from the director's point of view looks Colossus (Marvel Comics), films smotret onlayn. True, while all of its roles are of secondary importance.

For example, in the film "X-Men 2" he is shown in one episode, where he saves students during an attack on the school. In the film "X-Men: The Last Battle", the Colossus, along with other mutants, fights against Magneto. And in the film "X-Men: The Days of the Past" he manages to perish, and then rise again. He was more fortunate in the fantastic action film "Deadpool", where the Colossus is a companion of an anti-hero and is shown in several episodes, including the final one.
