History
Pavel Rasputin (Russian: Павел Распутин) is the grandson of the original Colossus, and possesses the same powers. He is a talented artist, preferring to do hands on work, such as mechanical work. He has an all encompassing desire to trust his instincts over discovering the mechanics of how things are done, preferring to not hone his skill and trust in natural ability.
Most recently he has been in battle with the X-Men foes known as the Shockwave Riders who are part of the Neo. He is also in a somewhat tenuous relationship with the mysterious mutant referred to as No-Name.Attributes
Powers
Pavel Rasputin is a mutant. He has the same powers as his grandfather, Colossus.
Organic Steel Transformation: Pavel is a mutant with the superhuman ability to convert the tissue of his entire body into an organic steel-like substance. This substance resembling steel is of unknown composition but appears to be analogous to osmium and to carbon steel. He is able to transform into this armor-like state at will (the process is virtually instantaneous) and remain in that form for an as yet undetermined amount of time. Once in his armored form he remains so until he consciously wills himself back to normal. If he is rendered unconscious, however, he spontaneously reverts to his normal form.
Pavel cannot become partially or selectively armored; his body is either entirely converted or not.
- Superhuman Strength: After transforming into his armored state, Pavel possesses vast superhuman strength.
- Superhuman Stamina: Also, while in armored form, Colossus' musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins than the musculature of a normal human.
- Superhuman Durability: In his armored form Colossus is invulnerable to most forms of bodily harm. He also also does not require food, water or air to sustain him and can withstand high impact assaults, as well as extreme temperatures anywhere from 70º above absolute zero (-390º F) to approximately 9000º F. His armor is capable of withstanding ballistic penetration, he can also survive falls from great heights while in his armored body.

Notes
- Pavel Rasputin was already a teenager ten years after the destruction of the Xavier Institute,[2] meaning what he was born few years prior to it. It is possible what his mother was Lorna Dane, but as it is unknown when exactly Peter came from the Savage Land, it is possible that Pavel was born there from someone unknown. In GeNext #1 Pavel had mentioned what Becka Munroe would not return to the Savage Land (where she was born), because there are too many memories. This could indicate what Becka and Pavel knew each other prior to joining the Xavier Institute and what Pavel also lived in the Savage Land previously. However, it could also be what Pavel visited his grandmother Nereel in the Savage Land and met Becka during these visits.
