Basics
Name: Piotr "Peter" Nikolaievitch Rasputin
Mutant name: Colossus
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Height: 7'5"
Weight: 250lbs
Orientation: Straight
Personnals
Personality: Peter is the definition of the 'strong but silent' type. He is very strong, both physically and mentally. He is also very caring... so caring he often forgets his own safety to protect other people, even people he doesn't know very well. He is sometimes unsure of himself, unsure if people will like him or not. He knows he is an invaluable asset to the X-Men, since he's practically their version of Juggernaut, but he isn't always sure if the students like him for him.
Like and Dislikes:
+ People
+ Russia
+ His family
- Magneto
- Xavier's method of teaching
- Ignorance
Strengths and Weaknesses: As mentioned before, Colossus sometimes forgets about his personal safety in order to help other people, but in his armored form he is so strong he rarely sustains any damage because of it. He is able to withstand great temperatures, whether hot or cold, and is resistant to electrical attacks.
History: Peter's family can trace their lineage all the way back to Grigori Rasputin, the 'Invincible Man'. Because of Grigori's beliefs, people were often out to kill him. A woman, who had once been his friend, attacked him in the street one day, stabbing him so violently in the stomach that 'his entrails hung out'. After a severe surgery, however, Rasputin was back to normal. Later, at a feast, the host served him cakes and wine laced with enough cyanide to kill five men. Rasputin ate and drank all these without receiving any harm. The host couldn't believe this, and followed Rasputin after he left and shot him in the back. He then left, but when someone came to check on his body, Rasputin got to his feet and attempted to strangle the man. Reinforcements arrived, however, and they shot him three more times. When they drew close to him, they found he was still alive. They clubbed him down, threw him in a bag, tied it up and threw him in the river, where he finally died. An autopsy after they retrieved Rasputin's body showed that he had died by drowning. Even after being poisoned, shot 4 times, and clubbed, he had lived only to drown. He had survived everything else.
Peter himself is not invincible, though he is nigh on near it. He discovered his powers one day on the farm where he grew up when he saved his little sister from a runaway tractor. He jumped in front of his sister, grabbed her, shielded her, and stopped the tractor with his bare hands.
Magneto soon learned of Peter's powers, and trapped his family to force Peter to join his team. He fought for Magneto for a while, although not willingly. It was only after he learned that his family was dead that he ran away to join Xavier's team.
He lives at the Institute now, although he is still rather a loner. He gets along well with few of the mutants, namely Kitty Pride. He isn't really sure of the way Xavier is teaching the kids, and thinks he is using more of a brainwashing technique than anything.
Powers: Colossus is able to transform his whole body into a kind of organic steel, which is best compared to osmium. When he transforms, he gains about a foot in height and more than doubles his weight. He also possesses superhuman strength, stamina, and durability. While in his armored state, Colossus needs no water, air, or food to sustain himself. He is also extremely resistant to injury. He is capable of withstanding great impacts, high caliber bullets, falling from great heights, temperature extremes of hot and cold, electricity, and certain magical attacks.
Extras: Colossus was never able to shake his Russian accent, and while his English is perfectly clear, he often turns his 'w's into 'v's and his 'v's into 'w's.
