Colossus, the Lovable Russian Commie Appreciation

[Meadowsopranospimp]

wasn't he 19 when he was dating kitty for the first time and she was 14

Suppose it depends how much people age in comics.

Colossus first appearance was in 1975 and Kitty Pryde's was in 1980, at which point I think she was meant to be 13 if memory serves.

Trying to estimate comic book characters ages is a minefield.

but how much would the gem be able to jack up a class 100 brick?

isn't he already partway there?

When Colossus fought Juggernaut in the bar in Uncanny X-Men #183 he stated he was 19.

[Silent Sigh]

He should be in more panels shirtless.

Cool. The Colossus thread got bumped. Anyway, I was glad to finally see him get some run in Uncanny. I really liked the Namor team up panels. I hope to see more interaction with these two in the future.

It's gonna be very interesting to find out. I'm really looking forward to it.

yeah

honestly, where other's have fear....peter has that russian fatalism.

he's uniquely suited to be on the forefront against those hammer wielders.

I wanna see peter lead a team. Has he ever lead a team of x-men before

Yeah, the fatalism seems to be a family trait. Mikhail and Illyana have displayed it as well.

In 616 he hasn't, but in AOA he was the leader (mentor) of the Gen X'ers.

colossus is suppose to be pretty big this year I would love to see him lead a team

I agree.

But I also want to see him connect w/ more people from his era other than Kitty. I would love to see him and Storm reconnect. I would love to see that little brother dynamic again. I miss it.

Totally agree with this. I remember in the beginning, he seemed to have one of those freshman/senior type crushes on her which eventually developed into the big sis/little brother relationship. I would also like to see him reconnect with Lo....I mean Wolverine too. It's almost as if Nightcrawler was the glue that held that trio together. I would think by now you would have seen them both "pour out a little liquor" in his honor.

I've been reading a lot of back issue of x-men from CC run till about the point where colossus dies and colossus really seems to be a lot like cyclops. There so devoted to the dream. Have family issues. Sisnster. They both died and were brought back to live by the same alien tech. Colossushas been as much a may stay on the team as cyclops and they both have lost there loves. And are crazy emo and brood a lot. Cyclops also depends on peter a lot and sees him as a brother

[GambitXRemy]

So colossus was around 17 when he joined the x-men

P.s. I think scott and peter are very much alike
