I don't think so.But when A bunch of skrulls were revealed in Illuminati,there was one with Colossus arms and Wolverine's claws and the claws have to break the skin to come out so it's possible.

Easily is there is sufficient force behind them.

Quick question a little off-topic:

Doesn't DC have a metal that is like adamantium?

This is no match even the weakest admantium is stronger then colussus armor i think it may be what omega red has so then take that back lol but still its way stronger. Colussus has even been hurt in his metal form.

Yes but not cared enough to talk about.

No as i asked the same question a few months ago and they told me but dc's metals were never that popular to talk about just as i stated up their.

I think its called Promethium. I remember in a Action comic where a guy stole Supes body and ripped Cyborg apart, Cyborg said he wished he had his promethium body. But, as you said, "who cares". Back to topic.

Has Colossus body ever been cracked, dented, or cut?

I know Hulk broke his arms during World War Hulk: X-Men, so his metal can be broken.

It has been quoted as having a melting point of approx 9000 deg F and a freezing point of -390 deg F (after which it becomes brittle).

The steel has ben pierced by shuriken (likley a special metal) thrown by Riptide of the Maurauders.

So yes his steely form is far easier to damage thatn adamntium or even secondary adamantium.

Supermanium is used to build Supermobile,used by Earth-One Superman under a red sun environment.Does that count?

By Definition A living metal is invulnerable, the very nature of its tissue indicates that it may rebuild itself on a cellular level (hmmmm sound familiar?),  this would explain why the whole theoretical skrull claw problem.
just for the record though Colossus' skin/tissue is invulnerable he does not have wolverines awesome healing capabilities, and thus when damaged , is weakened considerably.

How can a living metal by definition be invulnerable ???

Invulnerable is not the correct word as it means incapable of being hurt or damaged. As Colossus can be hurt and damaged, he is therefore clearly not Invulnerable.

Which is stronger, a solid or a liquid
Living that as its shape is changed its sum mass remains the same, i.e. cut or not his skins mass remains constant,
while when organic matter is damaged normally it dies and in the case of scar tissue is rebuilds by flooding the effected area with new cells. the fact that he does not scar shows that his cells are self sufficient.
and my point was that his skin was invulnerable not him

Why does it matter if a liquid is stronger than a solid ?
What relevance does it have to this argument ?

If his skin is cut, it is likely that the mass will not remain the same as even the nature of cutting with a scaple or even an energy beam causes the removal of some small area of skin.

To be honest, I cannot remember Colossus scarring but he does not rapidly heal over from wounds either as demonstrated in the after effects of the Maurauder member Riptides attack on him.

If his skin is invulnerable, how is that he is still able to be damaged i.e. cut and cracked. He is the same osmium steel alloy throughout.

He had those claws outside his body not in the inside.

And in one alternative reality Proteus was able to cut Colossus arm in metal form so I can imagine that so can Wolverine but in another alternative reality that was lunch during 2001 Colossus was kidnappe by Weapon X and his organic still was mix with Adamantium, making extremly strongh but incapable of turning back to him. I say those two options show us that depending on the situation and power put on him he can be cut or be inpenetrable

Quote for Colossus's durability,

In his armored form Colossus is highly resistant to most forms of bodily harm. His armor is capable of withstanding ballistic penetration, including that of a 110 millimeter Howitzer shell. He could survive a collision with a loaded, one-ton flatbed truck at 100 miles per hour or an explosion of 450 pounds of TNT. He can survive extremes of temperature from 70 degrees above absolute zero (-390 degrees Fahrenheit) to approximately 9000 Fahrenheit. However, it is theorized that above the latter temperature, his armored form would begin to melt. Colossus's armored form cannot rust under normal Earth conditions.

Now for Adamantium,

True Adamantium is nearly as strong as Captain America's shield, and is, for all practical purpose, indestructible. The degree of impermeability varies directly with the thickness of the Adamantium. A sufficient mass of Adamantium could survive a direct hit from a nuclear weapon. Only a device celled a Molecular Rearranger can alter the form of hardened Adamantium.


There a huge difference between these materials. One being almost indestructible, the other nowhere near it.

I believe that Riptide actually makes the shurikens that he tosses. They are crystalized secretions actually. These secretions actually pierced Colossus' skin so he would easily be cut by adamantium if there was enough force behind it. Colossus' whole body becomes this organic metal and he bleeds energy.
