History: (X-Men Millennial Visions 2001 - "X-Men X: Colossus &
Nightcrawler" (fb) - BTS) - The X-Man Colossus died finding a cure for a
mutant-killing virus. Following his death, his body was mysteriously stolen.
As tensions between mutants and humans worsened, the X-Men found themselves
unable to solve the mystery of Colossus' body, as they had to focus much
of their time on humanity. Colossus soon mysteriously returned to the X-Men a mindless, living steel shell.
Unable to speak, Colossus' body appeared to have survived death and wandered
with the X-Men as a sort of Frankenstein's Monster.
(X-Men Millennial Visions 2001 - "X-Men X: Scott Summers & Jean Grey"/"X-Men X: Angel & Iceman"/"X-Men X: Colossus & Nightcrawler"/"X-Men X: Wolverine") - The X-Men decided to blend in with humans to better ease the tensions between mutants and humans.
(Paradise X: Heralds#3) - The X-Men, gathered for Charles Xavier's funeral, were seen from Reality-9997's Citadel of the Watcher as X-51 and his multiversal Heralds fled from the gathered Watchers. Earth-1298 Herald Bloodstorm mournfully noted Charles' death.
(X-Men
Unlimited I#37) - Some time after the funeral, Wolverine, Jean Grey,
Iceman and Angel (if not the entire X-Men team) were summoned to
Earth-2937, where that reality's Magik had made a deal with the demon
Mephisto to provide her son Hutch a physical body in exchange for the
lives of all mutants in all realities. The summoned X-Men battled
numerous counterparts of themselves from other realities until Hutch
sacrificed his newfound phyiscal form to defeat Mephisto, returning all
of the multiversal X-Men counterparts to their proper realities.

CLARIFICATIONS:
X-Men X (Millennial Visions 2001) should not be confused with:
After
the X-Men decided to blend in with humanity, Warren Worthington had
to hide his immense wings and blue skin. In order to appear human, the
Angel
no longer made public appearances or flew during the light of day. He
remained
with the X-Men, only revealing his powers in emergencies. He later
attended the funeral of Charles Xavier with the X-Men and other heroes.
Some time after the funeral, Angel was transported to Earth-2937, where
that reality's Magik had made a deal with the demon Mephisto to provide
a physical body for her son Hutch in exchange for the lives of all
mutants in all realities. He then joined his fellow X-Men in battling
numerous multiversal X-Men counterparts until Hutch sacrificed his
physical form to stop Mephisto, returning Angel and all of the summoned
counterparts to their own realities.
Angel had the same feathery wings capable of flight as his Earth-616 counterpart.

Peter Rasputin died finding a cure for a mutant-killing virus. After his death, his body was mysteriously stolen as tensions between mutants and humans escalated. With the X-Men busy with human affairs, no one was able to discover who had stolen his body but one day, Colossus seemingly returned to the team without a soul. It appeared that Peter's metallic body truly was indestructible and had survived even death. Now a mindless monster, Colossus did not have any feelings nor guilt over destroying anything in his path.
Colossus existed as a metallic shell with superhuman strength, invulnerability, and the ability to survive without oxygen or food.

& Nightcrawler,"
Jean Grey embraced the idea of the X-Men blending in with humanity. While
all of the X-Men knew that most of humanity was fearful of mutants, Jean
could sense their fear and hatred as a telepath. She
later attended the funeral of Charles Xavier with the X-Men and other
heroes. Some time after the funeral, Jean was transported to
Earth-2937, where that reality's Magik had made a deal with the demon
Mephisto to provide a physical body for her son Hutch in exchange for
the lives of all mutants across all realities. As more mutants arrived
on Earth-2937, Jean was shoved away alongside numerous other
multiversal Jean counterparts by a Jean Grey wearing civilian clothing.
When
Hutch sacrificed his physical form to stop Mephisto, Jean and all of
the mutant counterparts summoned there were returned to their proper
realities.
Jean Grey had telepathy and telekinesis, like her Earth-616 counterpart.

Despite his being a member of the Defenders, the Champions, and the X-Men, Bobby Drake still felt like a loser. He was able to adapt to life as a human better than any of the other X-Men due to his experience at acting "normal." Having lived a normal life all his life, he worried that he would be insignificant in the long run. His feelings of insignificance soon made Bobby the loner of the X-Men but he preferred the life of an X-Man to life as a normal human. He later attended the funeral of Charles Xavier with the X-Men and other heroes. Some time after the funeral, Iceman was transported to Earth-2937, where that reality's Magik had made a deal with the demon Mephisto to provide a physical body for her son Hutch in exchange for the lives of all mutants in all realities. He then joined his fellow X-Men in battling numerous multiversal X-Men counterparts until Hutch sacrificed his physical form to stop Mephisto, returning Iceman and all of the summoned counterparts to their own realities.
Iceman had the same ability to freeze moisture in the air as his Earth-616 counterpart.

& Iceman," Paradise X: Heralds#3, X-Men Unlimited I#37,
Kurt Wagner felt that his former life as an acrobat was training for the life of an X-Man. Like Cyclops, Nightcrawler did not like the idea of losing Xavier's dream of peaceful coexistence between mutants and humans by blending in with the humans. Kurt remained with the X-Men but soon grew tired of having to constantly use makeup to disguise his blue appearance. He later attended the funeral of Charles Xavier with the X-Men and other heroes.
Nightcrawler could easily blend into shadows like his Earth-616 counterpart and could presumably teleport.

While he did not like the idea of losing Xavier's dream in favor of blending in with humans, Scott Summers (formerly Cyclops) remained the visionary X-Man. He later attended the funeral of Charles Xavier with the X-Men and other heroes.
Scott had the same optic energy blast abilities as his Earth-616 counterpart.

As hatred against mutants escalated, Wolverine remained a determined soldier
fighting to save a world that hated his kind. While the other X-Men disguised
their abilities using hoods and such, Wolverine opted to just change into
civilian clothing while undercover. He
later attended the funeral of Charles Xavier with the X-Men and other
heroes. Some time after the funeral, Wolverine was drawn to Earth-2937,
where that reality's Magik had struck a deal with the demon Mephisto to
provide her son Hutch, who had been born between dimensions, with a
physical body at the expense of the lives of all mutants across all
realities. Upon arriving, Wolverine found himself surrounded by
numerous other Wolverine counterparts from across the Multiverse and he
began battling them. When Hutch sacrificed his physical body to stop
Mephisto, Wolverine and the numerous other X-Men counterparts were
returned to their proper realities.
Wolverine had the same Adamantium claws as his Earth-616 counterpart and presumably had the healing factor and senses to match.
