I think the reason for Colossus not relying on food in his steel form necessarily is because at that point his heart is basically acting like a kinetic battery and he's essentially a humanoid automaton.
@@scluciano I saw one with his heart Literally ripped off. He stayed the rest of the comic in metal form. It's been a while and I haven't paid so much attention. I don't remember well
There's a story I read years ago where Colossus is with Nightcrawler and Wolverine and theyre fighting Omega Red on a train. Omega basically grabbed Colossus' segmented armor so hard it ripped away like it was a skin and showed muscles beneath. I only ever seen it as him fully transforming into the organic steel. That story just wasnt well researched
You mentioned Colossus eyes are vulnerable, "The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition #3" from 1985, it says Colossus eyeballs "can withstand and deflect the impact of a .45 caliber bullet".
The confusion comes from the difference between Ultimate Colossus- whose eyes remained flesh after changing- and 616 Colossus, whose eyes turned to steel. But, yeah, this was some surface-ass research
To clarify, these other abilities he's had, such as liquify his Metal or Demonic Form, are all different powers he's had at different times, not his BASE powers. With that said, Colossus is my favorite X-Men. He's grown stale over the years, but his recent story is great, but he needs to improve. I used to think updating his powers would make him more relevant. But that's not the way to do it! The writers just need to have him stop holding back. Piotr is a gentle giant, but with all the tragic stuff, let him let loose! Colossus is well aware of the damage/violence he can cause if unchecked! I say if you make Piotr transform, he should be a beast on the battlefield.
@【Chucklebutt】 ʘ‿ʘ Going fwd, with all that Colossus has been through, I wouldn't mind seeing him let loose. Not actively wanting to kill anyone, but putting out more than he normally would. Like if he was to come face to face with a Sentinel. We know he can take it, but to see him absolutely demolish it by himself would be a good start!
Yeah, it goes beyond power capabilities. What makes characters interesting is their situations and how they deal with them. This includes family drama, love interests, interactions with interesting villains, points of view/beliefs, etc. Take, for instance, that his transformed state functions analogous to Luke Cage (strong and tough) and Thing (strong and tough). We've seen more consistently interesting explorations into their tragedies, communities, relationships, and beliefs; plus, they are often in comics where their spotlight isn't shared with more than 3-5 other characters for extended periods. Colossus, being often the quieter person, has had his development stretched over decades as relatively one note. He's interesting, but his Russian connection hadn't been made central to his struggles often, and when it did, it was often weird. This stuff with Mikhail and the Cronicler (though tragic and slow for Poitr) is giving his life some interesting turns and twists.
The way they talked about the liquid metal makes it sound like the T-1000, but the only time this ability was seen was when he was a Horsemen of Apocalypse.
we've rarely seen or close to non of accounts where he losses it (actually, it was when he became juggernaut but still holds back) writers keep holding him back all the time.
Locked in a test of strength, Hulk demonstrates his superior power by bending Colossus's arms backwards at the forearms, breaking them. Beast later uses a laser in the lab to heat his arms up near their melting point, while Strong Guy bends them back into place; his arms needed to be re-set in their metal form before he transformed back to his human form to avoid serious injury to them. Edit: this was taken from a wiki page. I thought it was really interesting that he could be injured and would have to remain in his metal form until "repaired". I was also very disappointed that it wasn't mentioned in the video.
Colossus's steel is essentially an osmium alloy - and he is solid. When the XMen were captured bu Dr. Doom, it was confirmed that he does not breathe in his metal form. When they fought the Brotherhood in DC, He suffered deep acid burns that went far below the surface. Another time fighting tje Brotherhood, he was superheated by Pyro and then super-cooled by a nitrogen tank, which fused him in place - it required Rogue taking his ability and then the Morlock's healer to save him once back in his human form. It has never been a shell/skin/armor.
Perhaps we could explain his breathing through the idea of metallic oxidation. His physiology could counteract his metal body oxidizing by converting that oxidation into usable oxygen for his body. This would mean while his lungs wouldn’t need to actually function in the normal sense oxygen would still be required for him to survive, this would allow him to still function in water due to the presence of oxygen in water but if you were to put him in a void it could mean trouble
@@timboslice980or his voice isn't produced by vocal chords in metallic form? Maybe in metalic form his larynx acts more like a speaker than passing air through a flesh valve
The thing I always loved about Colossus is that his transformation was woven into this form of being beyond just the physical aspect. His backstory and link to communism and the pitfalls and trappings that came with that Soviet communist experience made him human during a time where there was still a lot of hate for anything communist. The writers didn't use him as much as a trope to swing ideals where oh he was a Soviet and now things are better, they really wanted to show that he was a person no matter what. And the fact that they steered away from the concept of his powers making him more like a golem character and still so very human has been a great part of that. He really is an over looked character.
His strength comes from being a metal form of muscles as his bones are a metal form of bones and both are part of what make him “ invulnerable “ he is solid …. In an issue where he was super heated then super cooled his skin cracked and when he was injured by steel knives and throwing stars in both cases he bleed energy ( both cases magneto mentioned it as he healed Peter’s wounds )
In OG canon, like all mutants, his "infinite" well of power came from an extradimensional source. And his new liquid form, that is probably exploring his further control over his ability of technically being a metamorph. Further explored, he'd probably be polymorphic and able to be different materials as well.
I absolutely love your narrative! You speak with FEELING, especially near the end of the video. Marvelous Videos need to use you more often! Great job! 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I always wondered about his anatomy once he transforms to a metallic state. Does his blood turn to mercury or some other metal that turns liquid at around average body temperature? What about his other bodily fluids? Saliva, perspiration, tears, stomach acid, bile, urine, etc? Are these essential bodily fluids comprised of a variety of different liquid metals?
The sometimes he needs to eat, breathe, sometimes he doesn't bs, is because every new writer that gets him feels the need to put their own spin on the character and his powers. Nothing is canon these days. He wasn't able to liquidate his form when I was reading the x-men. How the hell would that work?
He would have to have some unique structures with his eyes. They clearly appear to become metal like the rest of him but if it was that simple he would be blind since no light would be penetrating for his rods and codes to detect. If that metal over the surface of his eyes had the same durability but transparent qualities like Transparent Aluminum then he could still function visually.
As far as his Eyes are concerned, i always assumed he had like a "third eyelid" type of thing, like how crocodiles have when underwater...so like Mini-Visors for each eyelid.... So it is that, that is the See-through lid that is actually metal, not his actual eyes (perhaps). If his eyes were completely made of metal, i think it would effect his eyes too much... Like it was said, he can keep some of his Organs non-metal to maintain normal human functions (like eating ect)
ChatGPT - Produce a video about Collosus from the X Men, use every single adjective in known existence, make it sound like a TED talk, do it in the soft irish tones of a man who has worked in custoner service for so long he has actually becime an AI.
Wait a minute isn't that a contradiction though? If his joints are susceptible to damage can't he work around this with liquifying his metallic form jarring damage? Also pertaining to the energy drain from vibranium, can't he just work around this by drawing from his unlimited energy reserves that supersede the drain?
While he would be able to do so when he has his Liquid Metal abilities, those aren't his base powers. So, it's not a thing he'd be able to do every time he gets a joint jacked up
This video is not as well constructed as one would believe. Take, for example, that in all references to his metal liquefaction abilities, there wasn't a single image of him actually liquefied or any mention that it was a temporary power given from being made into a horseman in a future timeline. Not only is it not a base ability, it was brief, it was in a random future, it was essentially engineered, and it isn't even relatively recent. All of which are things the video could have easily phrased differently as interesting alterations to his standard depiction as hard and strong.
Its not Vibranium but rather Antarctic Vibranium, also know as Anti-metal, which comes from the Savage Lands and is molecularly different than the Vibranium found in say Wakanda or in Captain America's shield
He was always one of my favorite X-Men but I was really bugged by the way "Angel" beat him down in Deadpool. He got bested like 3 times in the fight and was about to possibly get killed had Nagasonic not intervened. Also I really wish we could have gotten more development from the Colossus of X2 & the last stand. He seeed like he could have been a likeable and formidable character.
That fight was crap. He'd have beat the brakes off of Angel Dust. He's way stronger and is made of metal. You can have all the adrenaline you want...you still aren't punching a metal guy without breaking your bones.
That made no sense. Angel Dust literally owned him. He did better against Juggernaut in the next film which would mean Angel Dust could possibly smoke Jugz?! Lame.
in the official handbook of the marvel universe from the 80s, they stated his eyes could withstand the force of a howitzer shell, or something like that. I wouldn’t call that vulnerable.
I've got an old marvel magazine wich have a Colossus character page. That's mentioned that he doesn't need to breath or eat in his metalic form. And his eyes are capable to withstand a high caliber gunshot.
So he's basically the best of 3 worlds. 1. T-1000 2. T-800 3. Human when he wants to eat/drink/mate Seems like a better gig then Juggernaut whies huge no matter what but also has every power you could want invincible,stronger then any being in known universe, zero downside other then being grotesque.
Favorite comic still ever is a scene where kitty encounters colossus with gunmen in persuit of her. The bullets are flying through her and bouncing off of him. It shows how even down to thei abilities they are so different yet compliment each other perfectly.
Love your video. Really awesome Just want to point out saying organic steel is basically like saying organic skin. I know a lot of people don't realize this but steel is in fact an organic thing.
What happened to Colossus’ ability to ward off magic and other questionable energy tech? There were a couple of mutants that could not phase him, one that used mind control with psychic slime, and old psylocke psi-knives didn’t work. The cytorak portion is pretty badass 😅
The Rasputin bloodline is a magical bloodline so that's why he has some type of block against certain magic abilities. His sister eliana rasputin has more magical abilities than he does
@@ceding3741 awesome, cause growing up on old Jim Lee Xmen and people forgetting that happened woulda been terrible. Like how Psylocke was a physically weak psychic which now is both telepathic and telekinetic on omega stats 🤣
Colossus has a resistance to magic & lightening. Just like Wolverine & Sabretooth have resistance to Phsyic attacks. It takes alil more to before it begins to affect him!
It has always struck me more as a happenstance side effect of bonding to the extra-dimensional metallic molecules than an actual direct power. Much like in some myths, magic and magical beings happen to be weaker to or weakened by iron, or vampires happen to be vulnerable to wood. Those reality warping powers and mystical effects seem to be vulnerable to his steel form, but he himself has no specific anti-magic power.
There was also the Earth-1610 Colossus who was gay/bi, having a crush on Wolverine and I think he went on a date with Northstar. In that version he was able to overcome Magneto's power through sheer strength and will, which is freakin awesome. I know some people say it's because his organic metal doesn't have a magnetic property, so perhaps that's true, too? Not really sure.
You're wrong, he doesn't, but he needs to change back to normal in 2-3 days to oxidize himself, to heal. ( If wounded in Metal form, Has to revert to human to heal, as Deathwing did with javelin to him, only 2 hour heal not bad.).( Brood heal longer). As said favorite.
Colossus does not need to eat or breath this was from the original Clarimont era. Any inconsistencies are due to lazy writers unaware of his real powers
Colossus is not vulnerable to vibranium. Colossus is vulnerable to Antarctic vibramnium aka Anti-Vibranium, which can destroy all metal including Adamantium.
Liquifying himself?? I don’t think so , it’s unknown how his organs and bones are affected by his transformation.. so his internals turn into organic metal as well? If not then there’s no way he’s liquifying himself to be able to pass through a key hole or something stupid like that.
What if...... Magneto + Power Stone/Power Cosmic Colossus + Soul Stone/Cyttorak Gem Nightcrawler + Space Stone/Enigma Force Emma Frost + Mind stone/Phoenix Force Quick Silver + Time Stone/Odin Force Scarlet witch + Reality Stone/Spirit of Vengeance The "Infinite X Men" No?
Hello hope you get this message about the biology of Collosus's eyes if you read his earlier bio under powers and abilities it states right in there that his eyes while in armored form can withstand a 45 caliber bullet at point blank range so yes I would say his eyes are completely bullet proof!
I would suspect he doesn't 'need' to eat or breathe, but it's more of a habit, more than anything else. I.E. He's used to breathing, and when he turns metallic, he unconsciously keeps going through the motions. But if he consciously held his breath, he would never feel the impulse that he was suffocating. Same with eating or any other biological function. What would be a more interesting question is, would the material in his digestive track get transformed as well? If it did transform, that could create an interesting possibility of needing to clear a clog with c4...
He does need to eat when in human form, but i think when Colossus suits up his metabolism or his calories per minute is slowed down but not entirely gone. Being metal does have its advantages and disadvantages. Imagine being metal while you have electrical current running through you, nobody human would be able to touch you.Unless they're wearing PPE.All you feel is a tickle. I think if Colossus had a big enough meal he could go for a long time without getting gassed out.
I think the reason for Colossus not relying on food in his steel form necessarily is because at that point his heart is basically acting like a kinetic battery and he's essentially a humanoid automaton.
There was a comic where he had his heart ripped out, didn't he?
In an issue of exiles Mimic has his metal body crushed and can't return to human or he will die. The fisiology of this power is not well writed.
@@scluciano I saw one with his heart Literally ripped off. He stayed the rest of the comic in metal form. It's been a while and I haven't paid so much attention. I don't remember well

But in the first Deadpool movie he's about to eat something then him and Negasonic go to help Deadpool.
Weaknesses totally left out the fact that he's ENTIRELY METAL and Magneto controls metal......
He’s made of anti magnetic metal it’s referenced in The Amazing X-men comic issue #692,
but that could be wrong considering I made it up entirely.
616 Colossus, yes. Ultimate Colossus was so strong, he was able to simply push through Magneto's control.
Doubtful since he is made of steel, which is made of iron, which is a ferrous metal, which is magnetic...

How many times do you need to state that Colossus’ powers provide him with immense strenght and defensive capabilities?
He used AI to write this script. That's why its sucks.
At least once more.
Right!!!
I heard his powers provide him with immense strength and defensive capabilities somewhere
“Baldur is blessed with invulnerability to all threats; physical or magical.”
It is called an organic metal, but not steel, it is called osmium it is listed as stronger than steel, but it is not steel, cheers have great day
Its not Osmium. It is a metal similar to Osmium but of unknown make up or origin.

World breaker Hulk did this
World Braker Hulk also said that Colossus would have been a challenge for his other incarnations.
Collosus can simply transform twice to completely heal himself however he has to survive the process.
There was an episode He was stabbed and could not transform to human or he would die, they had to operate on him before
Colossus's steel is essentially an osmium alloy - and he is solid.

Yooooo another video on one of my favorite Marvel characters. Yall are kicking ass!!!!!
His eyes are bullet proof in armored form except the Ultima xmen version
Correct...His eyes can withstand a .45 calibre round according to The Official Handbook Of The Marvel Universe 🤓
As far as breathing...you have to have some air in your lungs to talk lol
Of course he breathes when hes metal
I am going to say that colossus is in fact not hollow....
His eyes are indestructible as he is but blinding lights will temporarily blind him 😊
He's a character that deserves more To shine that's the reason why I like him the in deadpool movies cause he gets to have some spotlight to himself.
I think his eyes have a second set of eyelids like a shark or a gator that’s like a transparent organic metal and he can still see normally
They need to use cgi to make him look proper in live action. That rubber faux-metal suit was ridiculous looking.
I wonder if a neat diet would give Colossus a more shiny look…

Is that a real question? He is obviously nor hollow. Just read an X-men comic where it says "he transforms into solid metal."
Those cops are strong af… just casually picked up colossus in steel form 500lb. (2:33)
😂
Love your video. Really awesome Just want to point out saying organic steel is basically like saying organic skin. I know a lot of people don't realize this but steel is in fact an organic thing.
Intro caught me off guard inside the gym
I think a secondary metabolism would be a good explanation for the higher energy reserves.
where are you getting the images for the video preview image?
I thought all of his organs had second coats of metal around them, sort of like how Thing's organs were all, also rocks.
His hair is metallic too interesting
With how even his tongue turns into steel I think everything remains in its normal spot but just becomes steel
I feel like each different variants of colossus has different needs

I like how he’s been attacked at the eyes multiple times…like as his friend I’d say, “wear some goggles my guy, you’d be unstoppable!”
There was also the Earth-1610 Colossus who was gay/bi, having a crush on Wolverine and I think he went on a date with Northstar. In that version he was able to overcome Magneto's power through sheer strength and will, which is freakin awesome. I know some people say it's because his organic metal doesn't have a magnetic property, so perhaps that's true, too? Not really sure.
They really nerfed Juggernaut in DP 2.
Seriously read a book. Marvel says his eyes was capable of withstanding a 45 caliber at point blank ranger. And that's before his enhancement
maybe his eyes are somewhat vulnerable when open but when he blinks maybe they are bullet proof. 🤔
You're wrong, he doesn't, but he needs to change back to normal in 2-3 days to oxidize himself, to heal. ( If wounded in Metal form, Has to revert to human to heal, as Deathwing did with javelin to him, only 2 hour heal not bad.).( Brood heal longer). As said favorite.
Colossus does not need to eat or breath this was from the original Clarimont era. Any inconsistencies are due to lazy writers unaware of his real powers
Colossus is not vulnerable to vibranium. Colossus is vulnerable to Antarctic vibramnium aka Anti-Vibranium, which can destroy all metal including Adamantium.
foxs colossus was badass...i liked that version alot and loovveddd how shiny he was just wish he was much bigger
Liquifying himself?? I don’t think so , it’s unknown how his organs and bones are affected by his transformation.. so his internals turn into organic metal as well? If not then there’s no way he’s liquifying himself to be able to pass through a key hole or something stupid like that.
Why no mention of his sister and the virus? Should have touched on that instead of repeating the same thing over and over.
The question that keeps me up at night
I think I have left with about as much knowledge as I had coming in 💀
He's apparently made of Osmium rather than Steel
From what I read as a kid in an x-men handbook, his eyes can withstand up to a .45 caliber bullet at point blank range.
What if......
Magneto + Power Stone/Power Cosmic
Colossus + Soul Stone/Cyttorak Gem
Nightcrawler + Space Stone/Enigma Force
Emma Frost + Mind stone/Phoenix Force
Quick Silver + Time Stone/Odin Force
Scarlet witch + Reality Stone/Spirit of Vengeance
The "Infinite X Men"
No?
From what I remember from back in the day, his eyes were supposed to be able to take a .22 bullet.
7:16, If Colossus can't breathe while in his Organic Metal form.... how does he speak?
Solid even down to his eyelids
He is metal, no food necessary
Hello hope you get this message about the biology of Collosus's eyes if you read his earlier bio under powers and abilities it states right in there that his eyes while in armored form can withstand a 45 caliber bullet at point blank range so yes I would say his eyes are completely bullet proof!
It's from a extra-dimension, kind like nightcrawlers but better. He is the strongest mutant, only Strong Guy comes close.
His eyes are bulletproof he still has eyelids
His eyes can withstand up to a .45 caliber bullet
Liquid metal is not a usual ability at all just as demonic form they are changes that have happened a very few times in the "infinite multiverse".
So basically we don't know anything except the surface level things that are common knowledge
I would suspect he doesn't 'need' to eat or breathe, but it's more of a habit, more than anything else. I.E. He's used to breathing, and when he turns metallic, he unconsciously keeps going through the motions. But if he consciously held his breath, he would never feel the impulse that he was suffocating. Same with eating or any other biological function.
What would be a more interesting question is, would the material in his digestive track get transformed as well? If it did transform, that could create an interesting possibility of needing to clear a clog with c4...
Colossus has always been my favorite. He has both brawn & brain.😮
His hair must turn into something similar to STEEL WOOL. LIKE THE KIND YOU SCRUB POTS AND PANS WITH
Not sure how hard you looked for information on 616 Colossus. 2 min on Google would confirm his eyes are highly bulletproof (45 cal).
He does need to eat when in human form, but i think when Colossus suits up his metabolism or his calories per minute is slowed down but not entirely gone. Being metal does have its advantages and disadvantages. Imagine being metal while you have electrical current running through you, nobody human would be able to touch you.Unless they're wearing PPE.All you feel is a tickle. I think if Colossus had a big enough meal he could go for a long time without getting gassed out.
if he can speak then he must breath, period
