In the 37th century, Richard Zenith was a member of the Space Patrol who, after being expelled from the Corps for misconduct, had landed a job as a second laboratory assistant to Dr. Albert Blitzman. Blitzman was working on a new formula to accelerate the growth of biological organisms. Zenith stole the formula and he tested it on himself, becoming a giant over 2000 feet tall. Zenith, unleashed and euphoric, decided that he would become a God-King and that he would rule, not only Earth and all Humankind, but the Confederate Planets. He marched over Urbania, Capital of the Confederacy, and threatened to destroy the city, unless he was officially declared Supreme Master of all the planets of the Confederacy. Luckily, Colossus was finally stopped thanks to the joint efforts of Dr. Blitzman, the Space Patrol, and Bryn Hale, Blitzman's other lab assistant. Hale's courage would be rewarded with his inclusion in the ranks of the Inter-Space Justice Syndicate.

Colossus could change the physical size of him by sheer force of will, alternately becoming stronger and more resilient as he increased in height. His suit was made up of translite and changed in size along with it. Zenith's military training had made him a skilled unarmed combatant.
He was also trained in the use of firearms. Zenith had some experience in piloting small aircraft.
