Colossus


Gaia name: I Am John Kramer
Character Name: Piotr Rasputin
Codename: Colossus
Age: 19
Alignment: Good
Powers: Ability to transform his entire body into a form of "organic steel". In armored form, Colossus's has invulnerability and superhuman strength which enables him to lift around 100 tons under normal conditions, as well as superhuman stamina and durability. While in this state, Colossus requires no food, water, or even oxygen to sustain himself, and is extremely resistant to injury. He is capable of withstanding high impact assaults, large caliber bullets, falling from tremendous heights, extreme temperatures, electricity, and certain magical attacks. Despite this near-invulnerability, however, it is still possible to injure him. Also, Colossus cannot transform a portion of his body into this armored state; he must transform completely.
Bio: Piotr Rasputin was born and raised on a collective farm in Siberia, just outside of Russia. He spent most of his early childhood both learning with the other children in the farm and helping to tend to the crops and animals during the growing seasons. His fascination with art led to spending many nights learning everything he could about art. Piotr’s power first manifested at the age of sixteen when he rescued his little sister Illyana from being hit by a runaway tractor. His family still accepted it, calling it a gift from god, and Piotr only used his ability to help around the farm.
At the age of nineteen, Piotr was approached by the master of magnetism himself with an offer. Magneto was recruiting promising mutants for his new group he dubbed the Acolytes. Piotr reluctantly accepted due to Magneto keeping Piotr’s family, and Piotr was transported to Bayville in order to do battle with the X-Men. After the defeat of Apocalypse and the disbanding of the Acolytes, Piotr was approached by Professor Xavier to stay at the Institute, which he gladly accepted.
