Born to a simple farm life, Piotr Rasputin was the younger brother of the famous cosmonaut Mikhail Rasputin. Gifted as an artist, Piotr was content with his simple life, until he was approached with a chance to change the world, by Professor Charles Xavier. After joining Professor X's X-Men, Piotr has been using his mutant power, to turn to organic steel and gain superhuman strength, to fight for the peaceful coexistence of mutants and humans most of his life. After his younger sister, Illyana Rasputin, was kidnapped, Piotr had her live with him, until she was kidnapped again, by Belasco, and kept aged over ten years and returned as a sorceress. After his parents were murdered and his sister died of the Legacy Virus, Piotr began to loose his resolve and, at his sister's funeral, joined mutant terrorist, Magneto's Acolytes on Avalon. After Avalon's destruction, Colossus joined Excalibur, but later returned to the X-Men. When Beast found a cure for the Legacy Virus, Colossus sacrificed himself to give a serum. After being revived, by Ord of the Breakworld, Colossus rejoined the X-Men and, after the releasing of the Asgardian God of Fear, Juggernaut became Kuurth Breaker of Stone and Cyttorak granted his power to Colossus.

Avengers vs the X-Men[]

Uncanny X-Men[]

Colossus approached Cyttorak and asked him to release him from his service as his Avatar, since he was now the host of the Phoenix as well. Cyttorak refused however, stating that Colossus was his favorite Avatar in millenia due to the fact that his profession as a hero made him engage in glorious destruction on a regular basis. Cyttorak also stated that he was willing to share Colossus with the Phoenix since as a force of rebirth and destruction, the Phoenix and Cyttorak are not incompatible. Colossus attempts to force Cyttorak to release him by using the power of the Phoenix, but as a demon lord Cyttorak is far too powerful and he merely returns Colossus back to Earth. After that, Colossus and his fellow Phoenixes detected Mr. Sinister deep beneath the Earth's surface; Sinister had built a copy of 19th century London underground together with an army of his clones. Colossus and the other Phoenixes realized that Sinister would be a great threat to their new global Utopia and traveled beneath the Earth in order to destroy him. Sinister was prepared for this however, and had been expecting them. Sinister planned to steal the Phoenix Force from them in order to use it for his own devices. He pitted the Phoenixes against clones of X-Men and X-Men foes alike, such as Gambits, Cyclopses and Sabretooths. He used a device to siphon the Phoenix Force from them into six clones of Jean Grey. Magneto, Psylocke, Danger and Storm pursued the Phoenixes in an attempt to help them, but they were no match for the Phoenix wielding clones. During the battle however, Emma Frost was able to enter the mind of one of the clones in order to communicate with the Phoenix. She reminded the Phoenix that it had come to Earth for a reason and that Sinister would merely keep it trapped under the Earth forever. The Phoenix violently left the clones and returned to the Phoenix Five, who used their great power to incinerate Sinister and destroy his city.
