    Ok, I know this is just a funny cartoon image, could it really happen? Could Magneto use Colossus's metal against him?

    logically no...

    because it isn't metal, it's a biomorphic alloy that has the properties of metal but is still organic.

    i think it just acts exactly like skin. i dont think there are any plates because he's metallic all the way down to his internal organs, which is why magneto could heal him.

    I thought it moved by replacing his skin with a series of metal plates....and the plates in turn can move and flex and what not.

    The reason magnetic forces affect metal has more to do with the crystlline structure than the actual elements involved. It's theoretically possible to have an "organic" (meaning made up of a carbon backbone) substance that is relfective, strong and generally metallic.

    Its an organic metal. So yes its organic but it is also metal. So Magento can control him and yes make him punch himself.

    Colossus is susceptible to magnetics. His form, although organic, closely resembles steel (mostly comprised of Iron and thus magnetic).
    Here's a quick quote from an OHOTMU,

    Colossus is a mutant with the superhuman ability to convert the tissue of his entire body into an organic steel-like substance, granting him superhuman strength and a high degree of resistance to bodily harm. This substance, resembling organic steel, is of unknown composition but appears to be analogous to osmium and to carbon steel.

    pixelized said:

    And also dead from the Tons of weight on her"
    When he transforms, he actually remains quite low density considering that he flesh is now metallic in nature.

    Height: (normal) 6 ft. 6 in. (armored) 7 ft. 5 in.
    Weight: (normal) 250 lbs. (armored) 500 lbs.

    If his flesh were to actually to have the density of steel, his weight would be much higher than quoted.

    For instance, he gets physically bigger when he transforms (6'6" to 7'5"). If this same increase is seen in his height and width, then his fleshy self would weigh around 371 lbs in his larger form.
    Then taking in to account that the approx density of the human body is 1.1g/cm3 and a plain carbon steel is 7.85 g/cc (I am discounting Osmium from this equation), means that in a fully transformed state, Colossus should weigh 2650 lbs (1.2 tonnes).

    It is an organic metal. I imagine it is of varying densities which serve many purposes much like our own bodies. But his entire body is this organic metal. There are no plates that I am aware of, so I would just say the individual cells are what transform. This would allow movement to still be possible. He is not "solid" but rather made up of a series of connective tissues (like humans) that to the naked eye, seem solid.

    His body has that strange lined effect all over it.  It might not be 'plates', but it isn't one giant lump of metal. 
     
    Colossus isn't the Thing.  The Thing isn't a mutant & can't change back & forth, therefore it's comparing apples & oranges.

    and Iceman. but in real life Icemans blood wouldnt even function at that point (having seen him shatter and
    theres no liquids). but its a comic so real life doesnt apply of course.

    Well seems to me the guy can move, hes metal, and not that bright. If magneto couldnt effect his hed sprelunk or get something that would allow him to, if the fight escaleted that much to that degree.

    If that was the case, then he wouldn't be able to move. "
    His body has that strange lined effect all over it.  It might not be 'plates', but it isn't one giant lump of metal.  Colossus isn't the Thing.  The Thing isn't a mutant & can't change back & forth, therefore it's comparing apples & oranges. "
    its creases. but yea its a chunk of metal all the way through. theres no explanation on how he moves though
