—Colossus[source]Four to five moments. That's all it takes to be a hero. Everyone thinks it's a full time job. Wake up a hero, brush your teeth a hero, go to work a hero. Not true. Over a lifetime, there are only four or five moments that really matter. Moments when you're offered a choice, to make a sacrifice, conquer a flaw, save a friend, spare an enemy.
History
Origins[]
Peter Rasputin is a Russian mutant with the ability to turn his skin into a strong organic metal,[2] and the older brother of Illyana Rasputin.[3] As an adult, he moved to America and took residence at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, where he became a member of the X-Men, fighting crime under the name Colossus and answering to Professor Xavier.
Colossus went on to become a teacher at the school alongside fellow mutant Kitty Pryde, and acted as the mentor to Negasonic Teenage Warhead. He greatly honored his morals, with strict rules about sparing the lives of his enemies and protecting civilians.[2][4]
Meeting Deadpool[]
Colossus tried on multiple occasions to bring mutant mercenary Deadpool into the X-Men, because Colossus believed Deadpool should use his extraordinary abilities for good. On one occasion, he and his X-Man trainee Negasonic Teenage Warhead tried to apprehend Deadpool and bring him to Professor X. They interrupted Deadpool as he was attacking the convoy of mutant criminal Ajax. Deadpool was furious that they allowed Ajax to escape, so he didn't go along with them.[2]
Battling Ajax[]
Much later, Deadpool enlisted their assistance in rescuing his ex-girlfriend from Ajax. Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead fought off Ajax's right-hand woman, Angel Dust. They managed to defeat her together, while Deadpool was able to defeat Ajax and rescue his ex-girlfriend. Deadpool had Ajax crippled on the ground, and Colossus pleaded for Deadpool not to kill him. Deadpool killed him anyway because he found Colossus' heroic speech too long. Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead parted ways with Deadpool afterwards, with Angel Dust apprehended.[2]
