He's big, he's strong, and he's pretty much invulnerable when using his powers. He’s Peter Rasputin, the Colossus. Originally from Russia, the oldest of the X-Kids has the mutant ability to transform his body into an organic metal. Nearly invulnerable as a result of this, Peter also gains super-human strength, and heightened speed (although you would think that a guy made of metal wouldn’t be able to move that fast. But then again, Logan can move really fast, even with a metal skeleton), making him a force to be reckoned with.
This mutant ability allowed him to lead the main body of students out of the mansion (while carrying one at the same time) and to safety on the fateful night that Colonel Stryker invaded the mansion.

Although his power is naturally an offensive one, Peter himself is not. In fact, he is quite the opposite. Think of him as a big, soft cuddly teddy bear - who at any moment can transform himself into a lethal weapon. I know, he doesn’t sound that nice, but when you think about it, you can say the same thing about just about any mutant.That’s why humans are so afraid of us - we can turn on them at any moment.
But moving on. Peter is a big softie, with quite a gift for art. You can often find him sitting outside somewhere, sketchbook in his lap, just drawing what he sees in front of him. He’s also pretty good at doing spur-of-the-moment cartoons and caricatures - his most famous one is one he did of Rogue and Bobby, kissing. Bobby looks like he is being electrocuted, while Rogue is completely oblivious to what is going on.
