Story
Featuring
It, the Living Colossus
Storyline
Bob O'Bryan finds out his former assistant Otto Ranetti had stolen his special effects to build a giant robot called Karrg for a movie being made by a rival studio. He takes control of the Colossus and confronts Otto. The two have their giant robots battle each other with the Colossus defeating Karrg. When Bob lambastes Otto for stealing his work, Otto reminds him how his early movies were literally stolen from earlier films. Realizing this, Bob spares Otto and returns home letting the box office decide which one of them is the better special effects master.
Story Notes
Karrg is a purple version of the Colossus, the same color the original Colossus was in his Astonishing Tales run back in 1973-1974.
Otto mentions films O'Bryan had ripped off in the past called "Kongo the Giant Gorilla", "Gidron the Fire-Breathing Lizard" and "Gammelon the Atomic Beast". These are spoofs of King Kong, Godzilla, and Gamera.
The Colossus was previously seen in Wonder Man Annual #2 (1993) and would return in Avengers Two: Wonder Man & Beast #2 (June 2000). While he does appear in one panel of The Savage Hulk (January 1996), only his lower body is shown.
