By combining his powers, Riptide could fire numerous deadly spikes from his body. Riptide can also grow razor sharp spines from his skin. One of the Marauders was a mutant named Riptide, whose power allowed him to spin his body like a tornado. Word reached the surface, and the X-Men & their allies tried to stop the massacre before any more lives were lost. Sinister arranged for a group of evil mutants known as The Marauders to enter the Morlock's tunnels, and slaughter everyone they could find. They lived in the sewers, as they believed it was a safe haven. Unlike the members of the X-Men, who gained awesome powers and chiselled physiques from their mutations, the Morlocks were transformed into freaks and monsters.

Beneath New York City, there lived a group of mutants who called themselves the Morlocks. It was known as the " Mutant Massacre", and it united the X-Men, Thor, Power Pack, X-Factor, The New Mutants, and Daredevil. In 1986, Marvel Comics ran what was their darkest company-wide event to date. From snapping bad guy's necks, to sharing the screen with Spider-Man, here are the 15 Things You Didn't Know About Colossus. We are here today to take a closer look at the history of this beloved X-Man. The X-Men were Marvel's most popular team for a long time, and Colossus has always been an important part of that. Colossus belongs to the most popular iteration of the X-Men of all time (the second generation, written by Chris Claremont), and he now has the chance to be as awesome on the screen as he is in the comics. Technology has advanced to the point that he is now affordable enough to put on film. The only cost with Logan is the gel for Hugh Jackman's hair, and tape & knives for his hands.Ĭolossus finally got his chance to shine in Deadpool, where he was a totally CGI character. It requires a lot of CGI to do justice to his appearance, and most directors would rather just save money by using Wolverine instead. This was due to the nature of his powers - unlike Nightcrawler or Beast, Colossus' powers cannot be emulated with makeup. Despite this, it took a long time for him to get a significant role in the X-Men movies. This allows him to rush down his opponent, and even if they try to sweep him or do most attacks, he can simply walk through them or suffer very little push back for being hit, but he still takes damage while this is active.Ever since his introduction in Giant-Size X-Men #1, Colossus has been one of the most popular members of the X-Men. Most attacks will not stagger Colossus when he has Super Armor, which lasts for about 10 seconds. If you don't press down + an attack button to make him dive faster, this attack won't connect unless the other fighter is around full-screen's distance. Hyper (Super) MovesĬolossus jumps up into the air and does a head dive at his enemy. While jumping, it flies diagonally down-towards, and it will even slide along the ground for a short distance. The Light Kick Power Tackle travels straight across the screen, regardless if you do it in the air or not.Ī Hard Kick Power Tackle on the ground travels diagonally up-towards, which works as anti air. This blows through some projectiles and is wicked easy to combo into. Makes you dash forward and if you land this attack it will knock your enemy back a ways. The Hard Punch Giant Swing has slightly more range than the Light attack. If you rotate the joystick 360 degrees multiple times, you'll increase the damage of this move. (Rotate 360) (Can also be done in the air)Ĭolossus dashes forward his hand out, if he catches the other player he'll begin to spin them around.
