Colossus

Colossus (Piotr “Peter” Nikolayevich Rasputin) is a fictional superhero appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Len Wein and artist Dave Cockrum, he first appeared in Giant-Size X-Men #1 (May 1975).

A Russian mutant, Colossus possesses the ability to transform his entire body into ‘organic steel,’ a state that grants him vast superhuman strength and invulnerablity. Despite his intimidating appearance and occasional outbursts of rage, Colossus is actually one of the gentlest and least-aggressive X-Men and would much prefer to pursue his long-time interest in painting rather than fight. He reluctantly agrees to use his powers in combat, feeling it is his responsibility to utilize his abilities for the betterment of human and mutant kind.

Even when his powers are not engaged, he is still a physically imposing figure of 6 ft 7 in (200 cm). He is portrayed as quiet, honest and virtuous. He has had a fairly consistent presence in X-Men-related comic books since his debut.
