Phy posted:They rolled it back a whole bunch later until the only crossovers were with GI Joe and Death's Head, but the original Marvel four-comic miniseries for Transformers was meant to be set in 616, or somewhere close to it. Spider-Man guest-starred in an issue, in the black costume no less. I was never a Transformers fan, but here's Death's Head in one issue of the S.W.O.R.D. mini. (Beast just disarmed him by unhanding him.)  He was also an amusing prick when kidnapping Tony Stark for a bounty in some Iron Man arc, too.

Juggernaut is actually the usual jobber. He sits in the gap between the Luke Cages and the Supermen of the world, so he's always perfect for getting smacked around to establish threats. In that issue, he had just gotten a massive power boost, and then I think that was his last appearance since(they beat him by tripping him off a cliff into the ocean and just walking away).

Do X-Men writers keep telling their fans that Colossus is "one of the strongest beings on the planet?" Because that guy's power set is "muscular man with living metal armour." Did that get changed with power creep over the years?

no, he was always superhumanly strong. perhaps you are confusing him with the ultimate or 90's cartoon versions?

I think I've sometimes seen it qualified as one of the "strongest mortals" just to further drive home he's in his own little corner of "Man, you're loving strong! Like, holy poo poo. But, you know. We've got cosmic poo poo, magical crystals, and deities walking around so uh... yeah."

Pretty much any strong character has been the victim of gradual power creep or else their strength ends up feeling super unimpressive for their story role.

When Pitor joined the X-Men, super strength meant having the limbs of a gorilla. Cut him some slack.

I think what did it for me was in AvX (and I might be misremembering here because I hate this event and haven't read it since it was first released) he was going toe to toe with Thor or Hulk or somebody *before* he got the Phoenix upgrade and I remember thinking that was just silly. Like if he's getting clowned on the regular by Juggy, Thor and Bruce should be punching him into space, right?

I think he was the Juggernaut at that point so that's like extra power on top of being strong and metal.

Juggernaut's power has fluctuated more than anyone's over the years, so it's really hard to judge anyone by how well they do against him.

Colossus has been strong as hell for decades.  Also in the panels above if I remember correctly Juggernaut is like amped up way beyond his normal levels by Cyttorak.

Actually can someone post the panels of when Phoenix colossus tries to get rid of also being Juggernaut and Cyttorak basically goes "Are you kidding me? Have you seen all the havoc and destruction you're causing? This is loving great!"

Colossus has always kind of a joke. He's super strong, but not super strong enough to hang with the big boys. His role in almost every X-men story is to throw a couple punches before getting clowned to show how tough the new villain is before the real X-,men beat him.
