About this deal

The X-Men resurfaced in Australia, where they defeated the Reavers and claimed their base and teleporter, Gateway, a mute, mutant aborigine with the ability to create teleportation portals. Roma appeared and presented them with the Siege Perilous, a gem that created a portal which granted any person who walked through it judgment and a new chance at life, with a new career, home, and so forth and had magically made them invisible to any sort of mechanical perception. Upset about not seeing his sister, Colossus was approached by Gateway to enter a portal. Piotr exited the portal in Limbo and witnessed Illyana, in her Darkchylde form, attempting to cast a necromantic spell to summon his supposedly dead soul. After smashing S'ym, Piotr learned that Illyana had accidentally summoned a doppelgänger of Baba Yaga called from her mind, based on the literary Baba Yaga of old Russian stories and the New Mutants were in danger of being eaten. After rescuing the New Mutants, who'd become huge obese blobs due to 'Baba Yaga' by that point, Piotr left Illyana believing he was dead and told her to never forget him, returning through Gateway's portal. [63] The Brood & Garokk [ ] While on this, I'm not exactly certain what the difference would be in Peter's strength between his Ultimates and 616 counterparts, but it should be noted that, in most cases, heroes powers and abilities seem to be fairly comparable in both worlds. The wiki quote below speaks specifically to the Ultimates version, but its not inconceivable that standard Colossus is somewhere within a similar range. Tunny encrypted top-level messages from Hitler and his army high command in Berlin. The messages went by radio to the field marshals and generals fighting at the battlefronts in Europe and North Africa. After a lengthy struggle, British code breakers broke the new cipher in 1942, and it was soon realized that Tunny rivaled, or even exceeded, Enigma in importance. Colossus was built to carry out a fundamental stage of the Tunny code-breaking process—at electronic speed. How Tunny worked

The Colossus computers were used to help decipher intercepted radio teleprinter messages that had been encrypted using an unknown device. Intelligence information revealed that the Germans called the wireless teleprinter transmission systems "Sägefisch" (sawfish). This led the British to call encrypted German teleprinter traffic " Fish", [13] and the unknown machine and its intercepted messages " Tunny" (tunafish).

If this number exceeded a pre-defined threshold value known as the "set total", it was printed out. The cryptanalyst would examine the printout to determine which of the putative start positions was most likely to be the correct one for the chi-1 and chi-2 wheels.

Modern engineers have put forward a plausible hypothesis for the statue's construction, based on the technology of the time (which was not based on the modern principles of earthquake engineering), and the accounts of Philo and Pliny, who saw and described the ruins. [16] While scholars do not know what the statue looked like, they do have a good idea of what the head and face looked like, as it was of a standard rendering at the time. The head would have had curly hair with evenly spaced spikes of bronze or silver flame radiating, similar to the images found on contemporary Rhodian coins. [24] Possible locations [ edit ] The old harbour entrance from inner embankment. The Fortress of St Nicholas is on right Ultimately, Theophanes is the sole source of this account, and all other sources can be traced to him. [9] (pp 169–174) As Theophanes' source was Syriac, it may have had vague information about a raid and attributed the statue's demise to it, not knowing much more. Or the Arab destruction and the purported sale to a Jew may have originated as a powerful metaphor for Nebuchadnezzar's dream of the destruction of a great statue. [9] (pp 165–187) Winterbotham, F.W.

Colossal Legacy

In 304BC a relief force of ships sent by Ptolemy arrived, and Demetrius (son of Antigonus) and his army abandoned the siege, leaving behind most of their siege equipment. To celebrate their victory, the Rhodians sold the equipment left behind for 300 talents [12] and decided to use the money to build a colossal statue of their patron god, Helios. Construction was left to the direction of Chares, a native of Lindos in Rhodes, who had been involved with large-scale statues before. His teacher, the sculptor Lysippos, had constructed a 22-metre-high (72-foot) [b] bronze statue of Zeus at Tarentum. Kenyon, David (2019). Bletchley Park and D-Day: The Untold Story of How the Battle for Normandy Was Won. New Haven and London: Yale University Press. ISBN 978-0-300-24357-4. As an example: a set of runs for a message tape might initially involve two chi wheels, as in Tutte's 1+2 algorithm. Such a two-wheel run was called a long run, taking on average eight minutes unless the parallelism was utilised to cut the time by a factor of five. The subsequent runs might only involve setting one chi wheel, giving a short run taking about two minutes. Initially, after the initial long run, the choice of the next algorithm to be tried was specified by the cryptanalyst. Experience showed, however, that decision trees for this iterative process could be produced for use by the Wren operators in a proportion of cases. [66] Influence and fate [ edit ]

Granted, Colossus' power has actually grown over time; when he first arrived at Xavier's school in the 616 universe as a young adult/late teenager, feats at the above level where never shown. Concurrently, in later comics [decades chronologically, but in story where he was his late 20s-early 30s], he was shown being strong enough to stand up to [even if he was defeated by] an enraged Hulk, with his agility outclassing that of the monster. This can be seen here: Stepping switch said to be from an original Colossus, presented by the Director of GCHQ to the Director of the NSA to mark the 40th anniversary of the UKUSA Agreement in 1986 [31]

Colossus could also derive the start position of the psi and motor wheels. The feasibility of utilizing this additional capability regularly was made possible in the last few months of the war when there were plenty of Colossi available and the number of Tunny messages had declined.

The K2 switch panel had a group of switches on the left-hand side to specify the algorithm. The switches on the right-hand side selected the counter to which the result was fed. The plugboard allowed less specialized conditions to be imposed. Overall the K2 switch panel switches and the plugboard allowed about five billion different combinations of the selected variables. [58] The onset of Islamic naval incursions against the Byzantine Empire gave rise to a dramatic account of what became of the Colossus. In 653, an Arab force under Muslim general Mu'awiya I raided Rhodes, and according to the Chronicle of Theophanes the Confessor, [7] the remains of the statue constituted part of the booty, being melted down and sold to a Jewish merchant of Edessa who loaded the bronze onto 900camels. [8] The same story is recorded by Bar Hebraeus, writing in Syriac in the 13th century in Edessa [23] (after the Arab pillage of Rhodes): "And a great number of men hauled on strong ropes which were tied around the brass Colossus which was in the city and pulled it down. And they weighed from it three thousand loads of Corinthian brass, and they sold it to a certain Jew from Emesa" (the Syrian city of Homs). [23] Colossus of Rhodes Project 2015". 2016-02-13.
