X-Men Poster #41 Colossus Phoenix Five Astonishing John Cassaday

Description

Astonishing X-Men 4 Foil Variant cover. Piotr “Peter” Rasputin was born on a Soviet collective farm called the Ust-Ordynski Collective near Lake Baikal in Siberia. He lived there with his mother Alexandra, father Nikolai, and sister, Illyana. His older brother, Mikhail, had been a Soviet cosmonaut and had apparently died in a rocket accident. Peter was part of the second generation of X-Men, formed by Charles Xavier to save the original X-Men from the living island Krakoa. He agreed to leave the farm community in which he was born to go to the United States with Xavier. Xavier gave him the name “Colossus.” After the battle was won, Colossus remained in the United States with the new X-Men.
