Hmm. If he doesn't breathe, he probably also has no sense of smell or taste,
y'know.

IIRC, Colussus was about 6 feet 6 in unarmored form, 7 feet armored.
I never saw that comic with the armor separated from him, but in the X-Men
issue that introduced "The Brood," (now THAT was a scary alien race!)
Colussus got a spear stuck through him, in his armored form.
Your Jeremy sounds like he's at a real disadvantage, sense wise.

That would be a "Colossal" mistake (yuk yuk, I got the pun). To the best of
my knowledge and memory, I think Colossus (is that spelled right? It looks
funny) appeared to be anywhere from 6 1/2 feet to 12 feet tall (depending
upon which artist was drawing him), had full tactile abilities, could be
knocked out in a fight if hit hard enough, and was actually plated in armor
(one comic from waaaaay back had someone forcibly separate the armor from
his flesh). He was also a stand-in for the Mr. Universe competition.
Jeremy has an average build (not hyper muscular). He's about 5 and a half
feet tall. He doesn't change in the blink of an eye, or with a light show
effect. It's a rather painful sensation, since it starts from the inside
outward. Once he's fully changed, he has zero tactile sensory input (he
cannot feel if he's walking on solid ground, or tell if he's up against
something unless the object in question halts his progress). An explosion at
ground zero would just throw him back, probably quite far (depending upon
the severity of the blast). He wouldn't get KO'd or anything.
I used the term "organic" since I couldn't think of any other way to explain
the properties of the metal. It would be solid, yet allow normal fluid
movement for him. If you can think of another term to explain that property,
lemme know!
