Colossus
Name: Nikolaievitch Rasputin
A native of Siberia, Russia. Piotr - or Peter as his American friends call him - was content to work the fields of a collective farm alongside his family. But then there was the fateful day when an out of control tractor raced towards his sister, Illyana. Without thinking, Peter threw himself in front of the heavy machine. Then suddenly, much to his surprise, Peter's body transformed into a living metal of incredible strength and he easily stopped the tractor. Shorthly thereafter, Professor Charles Xavier visited the farm and convinced the young Russian to join his team of X-Men.
When in its metal state, his body is practically invulnerable; able to withstand bullets, explosions of more than 400lb of TNT and heat up to 12 0000 degrees Fahrenheit. He is one of the strongest X-Men, capable of battling even Juggernaut in hand to hand combat.
