7 Awesome X-Men That Could Actually Exist (And How You Could Be One Too)
2. Colossus (Extreme Durability)
Peter Rasputin (aka Colossus) is a mutant who can cover his entire body in an incredibly dense organic metallic layer, which grants him super strength and durability. This X-Men character, who took a lead role in the darker movie Deadpool, has some basis in fact... in a really weird way.
Super endurance is an X-Power held by Michel Lotito. Affectionately known as Mr. Eat-It-All, he isn't much to look at. He's certainly not a 10 foot tall metallic musclehead, a la Colossus.
He does, however, have an extra thick protective layer inside him. Mr. Lotito's superpower? The ability to eat upwards of 2 lbs of metal, glass, and other toxic materials per day without any adverse effects. His crowning achievement? Eating an entire Cessna-150 airplane over the course of 2 years (talk about expensive taste in food!).
He was able to do this without harm thanks to an "extra thick" digestive lining which allowed these strange meals to pass through him without causing any damage.
While we're not sure how a super-coated digestive tract could be used to defeat an enemy or thwart an evil plot, we recommend that no one with this mutation be left alone in the X-Jet!
