message: There seem to be some (anon) users that really mix up info about mainstream Colossus (MC) and Ultimate Colossus (UC). I deliberately over-flagged the Ultimate Colossus section and every subsection to make this clear. Please mind following help:
*MC is straight (loves Shadowcat), UC is gay (loves [Northstar])
*MC is a peasant from the Soviet Union, UC worked in the Russian mob.
*As per WP:CMC decision,  and , ONLY add something to "powers" or "history" if it is really different from the mainstream version. Not doing so results in a load of redundant info which seriously lowers the quality of the article.

message: Hi. I added mention of Colossus' not needing food in his armored form. IMHO it's a stupid plot device, but it was used in the X-Cutioner's song. If anyone remembers the exact issue, feel free to add it. It's the one where Caliban (as War, or was it Death?) and a few other horsemen of 'pokie's attack Jean and Scott at Harry's. I think it was Kubert-drawn, so I guess that should have been some issue of Uncanny? -- Uliwitness

"More recently, due to the popularity of the X-men franchise and the need of fans to consider every favorite character as being maximally powered, Colossus was retconned to a greater strength class. In his armored form, Colossus possesses superhuman strength which allows him to press over 100 tons (as stated by somewhat biased The Ultimate Guide to the X-Men)"<BR>

thread_title: Strength

message: The main page, honking the horn of Colossus, suggests he survived the big Doom/Beyonder blast that killed all the heroes.  He did not, he died as well, but his body was enough not damaged that the empath could heal him before his last spark of life left, whatever that means.  And she picked him because she loved him -- he did not necessarily suffer less damage than Thor, Hulk, or the Thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.215.206.67 (talk • contribs) 20:04, 22 February 2006
The above statement is not quite correct. If you will recall, the other heroes' bodies (including Thor, Thing, Hulk, etc.) were completely incinerated in the blast. Captain America's shield was also heavily cracked and damaged. Colossus' body was still somewhat intact. It was ravaged, of course, and he was certainly damaged enough to die from the injuries. But his body was significantly less damaged than everyone else's. When you consider that Doom's blast was strong enough to splinter Cap's shield (always considered the most indestructible substance in the Marvel Universe), this speaks highly of Colossus' durability. There is some speculation as to whether Doom subconsciously caused all of this to happen, but it is not entirely clear. The empirical evidence would appear to suggest that Colossus' body was found by Zsaji in the state that Klaw describes, and that Doom subconsciously revived him from certain death.Sadaharuo 18:24, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

message: It keeps getting added to the article that the character survived a powerful blast fired upon the various heroes involved in the Secret Wars crossover by Doctor Doom after he gained the powers of the Beyonder. This is simply not the case. The blast itself occurred in Secret Wars #11 and the aftermath revealed in #12. After the blast, the alien female healer Zsaji roamed among the remains of the heroes and is able to revive Colossus, who has been killed in the blast along with the others and was in his armored form at the time of the blast. Colossus then finds Reed Richards and places him into some type of healing machine within the fortress the heroes are using as a base. Richards is revived and the process is repeated with the remaining characters. I thought it best to clear this up once and for all rather than get into an edit war. Odin's Beard 00:47, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What assumption? I stated a fact, not an assumption. Some editors continuously added that Colossus survived the blast and made references comparing his body's durability to Captain America's shield. Not that it's important, but since you brought it up, it doesn't say anything about their bodies being completely incinerated. In fact, the issue states that Zsaji finds the gory remains of the bodies of the victims. In fact, in one panel, Colossus is shown, after being revived, lifting the remains of Reed Richards off the ground. Wouldn't be any gory remains if they were completely incinerated nor would there be anything left for her to work with. But, I've gotten off track. The fact that his body might've been less damaged is irrelevant. The point I made was, despite the claims of other editors, he didn't survive the blast.Odin's Beard 01:21, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  osmium 

message: Of the properties of "organic steel" this is very unlinke osmium – or even steel. Assuming he turns into metal inside out ("he must either transform completely or remain within his normal state") and that his proportions are the same in both forms (if they do change, I doubt it's for the slimmer, which would be required for a higher density), and knowing he's 6 ft 6 in (198 cm) and 250 lb (113 kg) in flesh and 7 ft 5 in (226 cm) and 500 lb (227 kg) armored, we can calculate his density at c. 1.35 times that of mean human tissue (which is almost equal to water).
 
\frac{500 lb}{250 lb(\frac{89 in}{78 in})^3}\approx1.35
In other words, half the density of aluminium; the only metals with lower density are lithium, potassium and sodium. In his armored form he should weigh c. 2,900 lb (1,300 kg) if he were solid steel or c. 8,400 lb (3,800 kg) if osmium.

replies: text: Moving topic to bottom.  Well, this not a forum, but either way, from a content perspective, Rogue doesn't have super strength anymore.  That still makes him the X-Men's heaviest hitter by default.Luminum (talk) 17:08, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  REALLY the Strongest X-Man? 

message: originally, Colossus when he was cut would simply leak out energy but now it appears he has red blood and organs according to Wolverine # 4 retcon.
:As with all retcons, we should maintain an out of universe perspective.  This could be accomplished by adding a sentence pointing out the retcon and cite the recent change. All character changes  are "true" in real world, even if not in-universe.Luminum (talk) 03:11, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Telepathic/Psionic Immunity 

message: I'm thinking of removing this section from the article. Colossus has never been a romance-driven character, so having a whole section on his romantic affairs seems like WP: Fancruft and WP:Undue weight. Also, the section mostly repeats info from "Fictional character biography", making it essentially redundant anyway. I don't see anything in the section that would be worth salvaging and sorting into other sections.
Any opinions on this?--NukeofEarl (talk) 16:14, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Could (or should) any of the sourced parts of that be merged into the fictional character biography section? 129.33.19.254 (talk) 17:10, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I did look over the sourced parts before making the deletion, but a few things held me back from merging any of them. First of all, not only is the source for the Jim Shooter quote a fansite, but it doesn't mention the quote at all. Most of the other sourced parts are either trivia or are already sourced in "Fictional character biography". There is one sourced part which doesn't fall under any of these, and I've gone ahead and merged that into "Fictional character biography". However, as I have not actually read the comic in question, I ask that you (and anyone else reading this) check it over to make sure that I didn't misuse the reference.--NukeofEarl (talk) 15:55, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
