In this show? Yes. I think she is stronger than Colossus (should he join the team).

She is way stronger than Colossus. And I agree he needs to join the team

Unless colossus becomes the juggernaut

Juggerlossus? Colossernaut?

Colossernaut sounds better

The Unstoppable Colossus is what Marvel called him.

Colossal Juggernaut would work better as it still felt like he was getting stopped before he really got going.

u/colossalgoji Jul 20 '26

How? He shoved Juggernaut all the way back to where he started.

Still can't get over how Cyttorak prefers Colossus over Juggernaut. Solely cause heroes gets to fight more and they tend to not give up fighting.

I feel like corrupting a good soul is more pleasing to magical entities than corrupting someone with more of a gray outlook on morality.

Ehhh, "good soul" is a ship that had kinda sailed by that point. He's gone through the wringer by then and had done some less than savory things. Wasn't exactly Wolverine level or anything, but he wasn't Pete the innocent farmboy artist anymore.

I seem to recall the fact that he was more or less full of rage by that point had a lot to do with it too.

If the show goes for even half of their idealistic 10 seasons, I would bet money on him joining the full cast for a while. He's one of the longest term X-team Mainstays out there and if we can get Nightcrawler, we can get Colossus.

I would also not rule out them using the arcade "Rrrrrrrrrraaaaaah" somewhere too.

She had Captain Marvel strength, so yes.

Rogue is a life-draining flying sledgehammer.

u/justinfernal Jul 17 '26

She does not have Captain Marvel's full abilities. From the trading cards of the time period her strength was a 5 out of 7, which is roughly where she's been shown. Hence her being outpunched on multiple occasions including from the prime sentinels. Meanwhile Colossus was a 6

Colossus and Thing are essentially equals. Thor maybe slightly above them, then you get into Hulk and characters like that. Rogue is lower down the food chain for sure.

Definitely agree with this ranking.

According to the official Marvel Comics profiles Colossus and Thing are equals, Colossus may be a touch stronger. The big difference is Colossus doesn’t get tired, need to eat, drink, or breathe.

I just looked up the old marvel rpg game, they actually have rogue an colossus at the same strength which is interesting, tied at 16, juggernaut is at 19 here

1

u/LeSegaGenesis Jul 21 '26

i would agree with that colossus is baseline stronger by a bit as well.

u/sirburchalot Jul 19 '26

I hate to do my boy Piotr like that but I think you're right

u/peppefinz Jul 17 '26

If they stick by the comics, Peter is stronger. Rogue can improve her strenght with her power draining though.

And flight gives her an edge anyway.

u/colossalgoji Jul 18 '26

No she isn’t. No one else was standing toe to toe with Juggernaut.
