Real Name: Piotr Rasputin
Code Name: Colossus
Sex: Male
Affiliation: Generation NeXt
Age: 28
Height: 6'5" (Human Form), 7'5" (Armored Form)
Weight: 250 lbs (Human) 700 lbs (Armor)
Hair Color(s): Black
Eye Color(s): Blue (Human), Silver (Armor)
General Appearance: Colossus is a huge Russian man with black eyes and black hair. He is very muscular and his body is 10 times the size of a normal human. He trains regularly to keep in shape, and usually can be seen wearing his costume: a red bandana that covers his eyes along with many straps that cover his chest. He also wears large red knee pads along with red pants.
Known Relatives: Nikolai (father, deceased), Alexandra (mother, deceased), Vladimir (uncle, deceased), Illyana Nikolievna (Magik, sister), Mikhail Nikolaievitch (brother), Larisa (cousin, deceased)
Powers: Colossus can transform his body tissue into an organic, steel-like substance that grants him superhuman strength and a high degree of imperviousness to injury. His armored form can withstand ballistic penetration as well as temperature extremes from 70º above absolute zero (-390º F) to approximately 9000º F. Colossus cannot become partially or selectively armored; his body is either entirely converted, or not at all. Even his eyes become steel-like.
Through an act of will, Colossus can transform virtually instantaneously into his armored state, and can remain in that form for an as yet undetermined amount of time. Once in his armored form, Colossus remains so until he consciously wills himself back to normal. If he is rendered unconscious, however, he spontaneously reverts to his normal form. In his armored state, Colossus retains his normal human mobility, though his endurance and speed are enhanced. He does not need to breathe while transformed, but it is believed that he could not survive for long in a vacuum.
Personality: Peter, originally was a hard working, caring and sensitive individual, but after Apocalypse's take over, he became more hardend, except for around his wife, Kitty. He is a strong, tough fighter, usually one of the first ones to go into combat. He is tough on the students of Generation Next, but cares for them.
Detailed History: (minimum 150 words) Piotr Rasputin was the younger brother of his nation's greatest hero, Mikhail, and served by his side as a Soviet Super Soldier. When Apocalypse's forces came to Moscow, Mikhail fought them off but was captured and forced to become a Horseman of Apocalypse.
Colossus became leader of the Super Soldiers and faced his brainwashed brother in combat. Now a Horseman of Apocalypse, Mikhail destroyed all of Russia's super heroes except his brother. The severely beaten Colossus chose to dedicate his life to stopping Apocalypse and Mikhail on that day. He left Russia to find the X-Men.
During his first mission as an X-Man Colossus battled Sabretooth for the life of a young mutant named Katherine Pryde. Colossus fell in love with her and the two would eventually marry. After years of fighting for Magneto's cause, Colossus lost the will to fight on a battlefield in Africa. He decided to retire from the X-Men. As a final favor to Magneto, he agreed to teach the next generation of mutants with his wife.
Sample Post: Piotr Rasputin frowned as he walked along the halls of the Generation NeXt base. He had just gone through a particularly grueling work out with his trainees, and was exhausted. The workout had gone well, but the young mutants were far from where they needed to be to be able to survive in the world they now lived in. He sighed and entered his and Kitty's bedroom, pulling his bandana off and throwing it onto the bed. He sat down on the bed, placing his hands in his face.
~I don't want this...I just want to live in peace, without the fighting and the danger, with my wife...~ he thought to himself, he knew Kitty thought the same way, but Peter had signed up for the job so, he was going to go through with this, but he wasn't going to particularly like it. He thought about why he had agreed to train these mutants, and couldn't come up with an answer... he just had felt that he had to, after all that Magneto had done for him. He sighed, laying back down on the bed and thinking about his wife, his team, and his life, and fell asleep.
