First Appearance: Generation Next #1 January 1995

"The years have taken a toll on the heart of this young mutant until it is as hard as the organic steel which serves as his flesh." - Apocalypse

Piotr Rasputin was the younger brother of his nation's greatest hero, Mikhail, and served by his side as a Soviet Super Soldier. When Apocalypse's forces came to Moscow, Mikhail fought them off but was captured and forced to become a Horseman of Apocalypse.

Colossus became leader of the Super Soldiers and faced his brainwashed brother in combat. Now a Horseman of Apocalypse, Mikhail destroyed all of Russia's super heroes except his brother. The severely beaten Colossus chose to dedicate his life to stopping Apocalypse and Mikhail on that day. He left Russia to find the X-Men.

During his first mission as an X-Man Colossus battled Sabretooth for the life of a young mutant named Katherine Pryde. Colossus fell in love with her and the two eventually married. After years of fighting for Magneto's cause, Colossus lost the will to fight on a battlefield in Wakanda. He decided to retire from the X-Men. As a final favor to Magneto, he agreed to teach the next generation of mutants alongside his wife
