Back to the world of the X-Men for another death and resurrection that strained credulity. The Russian mutant Colossus had the ability to transform his body into pure organic steel, which you'd think would make him difficult to kill. But when the deadly Legacy Virus threatened to murder every mutant on Earth, Colossus stepped up to the plate and allowed his body to be used as the vector for the antidote.

Of course, nothing is permanent in comic book land, and it turned out that an alien race from the Breakworld had snatched his body and somehow brought it back to life. This all tied into some ridiculous prophecy that actually turned out to be an insane scheme and... ugh. Just too many plot twists to recap at once.
