Colossus Invented the Idea of ‘Mutant Technology’
From Resurrection to Chimera Mutants, It All Started with Piotr
First devised by Colossus in 1976’sX - Men # 100(by Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum ) , the Fastball Special is a very simple ' power combo ' where Colossus ' strength allows Wolverine to extend to targets neither can round alone . While mutant power combos have been limn ever since , 2019 onwards sawthis basic idea formalized as an entire field of ' mutant technology,‘where the 10 - Men study not just how to apply their power to the fullest , but how to do totally new thing with their combined ability .
The idea of mutant technology led to the creation of circuits such as the Five - who can institute mutants back to life in rapidly grown clone body - as well as the Six - who can attain extra - general teleportation to travel beyond the boundaries of reality and wreak back impossible treasures , likethe anti - magic metal Mysterium . These feats have transform the Marvel Universe - the uncovering of Mysterium alone ended a vast astronomic civil war- and allowed the go - work force to survive while under besieging from armies of godlike superhumans including the Eternals and the Children of the Vault . However , as complex and vital as mutant circle have become , Fall of the House of Xmakes it exculpated that it all commence with Colossus shake off Wolverine ( partly because , at the time , he found Logan so annoying . )

Colossus REALLY Needed a Win
Piotr Has Spent the Last Few Years Forced to Murder Those He Loves
Being credited as the source of mutant applied science is a major win that Colossus ill needed . During the Krakoan Era , Colossus has been mind - control by his malefic brother Mikhail . Not only did Mikhail force play Colossus to kill his married person Kayla and betray the hug drug - valet de chambre to their enemy , but their last conflict image Colossus regain his free will by savagely obliterate his brother . While other mutants lived in paradise for at least a little while during the Krakoan Era , Colossus has been live his greatest incubus . Now , fighting to give the X - Men one last chance against Orchis , it ’s clear that he ’s in an incredibly drear place .
That ’s not to say that Colossus ' recent woes are strange . Piotr has had an incredibly hard life - late catastrophe include being left at the Lord’s table by Kate Pryde and rack by Beast ’s X - Force team , however he also expend long time being experimented on and excruciate after a confounded prophecy predicted he would demolish an exotic world . Through all this , Colossus has often been the X - Men ’s most peaceful member , read little joyousness from combat and simply wanting to live a quiet life . Outside the comics , Colossus has also been permit to stagnate- while heroes like Iceman andStorm have essentially become godsover the last few years , Colossus remains a mid - tied strongman . Making him the creator of mutant circuits elevates Colossus to where he deserves to be - among the X - Men ’s most prominent and influential heroes .
The X - Men ’s Colossus surrounds himself with metal that protect him from almost any combat injury - but unlike Wolverine , he can only heal if he removes it .
‘Mutant Technology’ Has Redefined What the X-Men Can Do
The Krakoan Era Turned the X-Men into Gods Thanks to ‘Mutant Circuits’
In many ways , the Krakoan Era has been defined by mutant technology , and its limits are seemingly nonexistent . The X - Men ’s Christ’s Resurrection powers literally almost ' killed ' Marvel ’s incarnation of Death ( who was economize by Jane Foster ’s Thor ) , while Apocalypse recently unveil the practise is close to magic at its highest level . The Adam - Man terraformed Mars to make the land of Arakko using a gamy - spirit level mutant circuit , and Storm just win the war for the planet by using another circuit to create a mammoth vegetation - kaiju named Kaorak . Meanwhile , in theSins of Sinistertimeline , mutant circuits permit mutantkind to become the dominant force in the universe , reach feats such as’shooting ' Thanos dead with the Juggernautand birthing a species of mutant ' Chimeras ' capable of razing entire world .
As the matching seriesFall of the House of XandRise of the Powers of Xbring the X - Men ’s Krakoan Era to an official end , it ’s bang-up to see Colossus bewilder credit for upgrading the X - Menfrom hefty individuals to godlike mutant circuits . If theX - Menhave a fortune of make it this final conflict against Orchis , it ’s only because of the advances that come fromColossus ' conception .
