From incredible hulk issue number 244 I've had this mutha on the back burner for a long time and finally got off my lazy butt and finished him. I read about this character in the marvel universe handbook of the dead and inactive. The hulk pounded this old fella into rock dust in about 5minutes. At one time he was good guy, but in the hands of a bad man, the hulk could care less. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. After reading that entry in the mu handbook, I had to search out the comic. Not to shabby, but I was never a huge fan of the artist who drew it. Carmine infantino. I kinda wish the big statue could've lived on. He was just bad to whoever was mind controlling him at the time. Here's the story if you don't know.... Ordered to create a sculpture that would glorify the soviet union, russian sculptor boris petrovski defiantly carved a hundred-foot granite colossus that reflected his view of the soviet state as a cold, inhuman monolith. Just before the statue's unveiling, a crab-like kigor extraterrestrial crash-landed nearby and sought sanctuary in the colossus, projecting himself into the statue and bringing it to life. The soviet authorities attacked it, and the statue went on a destructive rampage through moscow until a kigor rescue craft retrieved the stranded alien, leaving behind the inert colossus. Becoming a soviet propaganda symbol as originally intended, the colossus was later sent to the u.S.A. As part of an international exhibition; but a group of warlike kigors reanimated the statue and terrorized los angeles until delazny studios special effects expert bob o'bryan tricked the kigors into inhabiting another giant construct which he had booby-trapped with explosives. Later, embittered and wheelchair-bound after an accident, o'bryan became obsessed with the statue, which represented the high point of his life. Around the same time, terminally ill criminal genius dr. Aloysius vault tried to seize the colossus as his new host body, reducing the statue in size(30 feet) to make it more practical for this purpose. Opposing vault's efforts, o'bryan somehow projected his own consciousness into the statue and went on occasional forays as it, the living colossus. As it, o'bryan thwarted vault repeatedly and even saved earth from the invading aliens of stonus 5 with the aid of fin fang foom. O'bryan later regained his own mobility through intensive physical rehab and married actress diane cummings. When bob animated it to battle a rampaging hulk, vault forced o'bryan out of the statue and finally assumed control of the colossus; but when a power-mad vault attacked the hulk, the monster smashed it into dust and vault died of the strain.
