Colossus and Kitty Pryde have been connected since she joined the X-Men as a young teenager. While Colossus was part of the All-New X-Men with names like Wolverine, Storm, and Nightcrawler, Kitty showed up as a child and it took her a long time to convince Professor X to accept her into the team.

However, her eyes as a young, immature teenager was mostly on the “sexy” Colossus, as she referred to him. Her eyes were on him from the start and eventually, when both were adults, they had an on-again, off-again relationship that lasted for a very long time. While they are no longer together, Kitty and Colossus remain one of the X-Men’s most iconic couples.

Kitty Was 13 When She Developed Her Crush, Colossus Was 18

There are many disturbing things about the relationship between Kitty Pryde and Colossus. While the two developed a strong romantic relationship in later years, and almost got married, when Kitty joined the X-Men, there was a massive age problem.

Both Kitty and Colossus were teenagers, but they were on different sides of 18. Colossus was 18 years old when Kitty arrived, but she was only 13 – the youngest member of the X-Men at that time in history. The fact that Kitty developed a crush on Colossus and tried to kiss him at least once is disturbing based on the ages of the two mutants.

Kate And Colossus Have Kids In An Alternate Timeline

If X-Men comics do one thing a little too much, it is creating alternate timelines. Cable is from an alternate timeline, Bishop is from another, and between Days of Future Past and Age of Apocalypse, there have been many changes in the mutants’ comics thanks to trips through history.

In one alternate history, Kitty Pryde and Colossus had kids. This happened in the 2015 Secret Wars storyline where Doctor Doom recreated the world with him as a ruler. Kitty and Colossus had two kids, Christina Pryde, the youngest mutant in the world, and Cameron.

Kitty Became Best Friends With Colossus’s Sister

Colossus came to America to join the X-Men after the original team disappeared. The team that formed then ended up replacing the original X-Men, outside of Cyclops staying, and fought together for years. Soon, Colossus brought his little sister Illyana to live with the X-Men for her own safety.

When Illyana was six, a demon kidnapped her and when she returned seconds later, she was now a teenager who had lived in Limbo for years, mastering dark magic. She was an outcast and alone, but she soon became best friends with Kitty Pryde, the only person close to her age, and they became almost inseparable for years.

Colossus Cheated On Kitty In Secret Wars

At one time, most of Earth’s heroes and villains were kidnapped by a cosmic being known as The Beyonder and transported to Battleworld. Here, they were forced to fight, and the winning side could have any wish. While on Battleworld, Colossus met and fell in love with an alien known as Zsaji.

This did not end well, and when Colossus returned to Earth, he was different. He and Kitty were dating by this time, but Colossus told her about Zsaji and then told her he couldn’t date her anymore because he loved the alien he would likely never see again.

Wolverine Let Juggernaut Beat Up Colossus For Treating Kitty Bad

While Kitty and Colossus had a complicated relationship, it was made worse due to their age difference and Colossus’ inability to read the feelings of others. When Colossus returned from Secret Wars and broke up with Kitty, he did it callously, without considering her feelings.

This did not make Wolverine happy. Wolverine and Nightcrawler took Colossus to a bar for drinks. He then proved a point when he helped provoke a fight with Juggernaut. Wolverine stayed back with Nightcrawler and let Juggernaut beat Colossus up. When Colossus was angry about not getting help, Wolverine told him to think of how Kitty felt.

Colossus Murdered Kitty In Age Of Apocalypse

In Age of Apocalypse, everything changed in the world. Legion tried to go back in time to kill Magneto, but accidentally caused his father, Professor X, to die. This meant Legion was never born, Xavier never created the X-Men, and in the future, Apocalypse took over the world.

In this timeline, mutants learned that Illyana would have to die to save the world. Colossus went into a rage to protect his sister, and when Kitty tried to get in her husband’s way, thinking he could never hurt her, he ran over her, killing her instantly.

Kitty Saved Colossus After His Apparent Death

At one point in time Colossus died. This was due to the Legacy Virus that affected mutants and was killing many of them. Out of everyone who died, Colossus was the biggest name. However, he died for a greater purpose. His death allowed Beast to come up with a cure to save all other mutants.

Kitty scattered his ashes over his homeland. However, it turned out that Colossus never died and the ashes she scattered were not his. The X-Men investigated a woman looking for a mutant cure and they found Colossus’ body there. Kitty saved him and brought him back home.

Kitty And Colossus Have A Baby That Isn’t Real

In one of the strangest stories in the history of Colossus and Kitty Pryde’s relationship, they ended up pregnant. However, as in the case of Scarlet Witch and Vision, it was never real. This happened in the X-Men series in 2006 where Kitty and Colossus finally had sexual relations.

After this Kitty ended up pregnant and went on to give birth to the baby. However, it turned out that their baby, Michael, was not real and was a psychic projection by one of their villains.

Kitty Left Colossus At The Altar

Kitty Pryde and Colossus finally decided to get married. The two had built up their relationship, and in no surprise, Kitty proposed to Colossus. He said yes, and the X-Men comics promised a big wedding. They had a big wedding, but it wasn’t the one fans expected.

Before Kitty and Colossus walked the aisle, Magik talked to her best friend and put a doubt in her mind about the entire wedding. Just as Colossus was putting the ring on her finger in the ceremony, Kitty phased out and left. She broke off the wedding, left Colossus heartbroken, and Gambit and Rogue got married instead.

Kitty And Colossus Are No Longer Together

In Krakoa, mutants have a chance to live in peace and harmony, without any worries about humans who hate them trying to destroy them. Heroic and villainous mutants now all live together in peace and things seem like a perfect dystopia. However, Colossus and Kitty Pryde are not together in any way.
