Colossus of the Colosseum is a Doctor Who Adventures comic strip published in 2013.
Summary
On the planet Phwillite, the Doctor and Decky Flamboon have managed to find another of the replica landmarksfrom Earth – the Colosseum. They are greeted by Profesor Rulas who sees the Colosseum as a fitting home for his super computer Colossus. Colossus has one purpose – to find the cleverest and bravers fighters in existence and by putting them in the arena to decide the champion of the universe. The Doctor is suddenly detected and transported into the arena area of the Colosseum where he refuses to fight any of the other combatants. Rulas mocks Decky’s strength as he attempts to free the Doctor making the comparison with the much stronger Brancheerian Monty Punnions, who sold him the Colosseum and who now, having been selected, is fighting in the Colosseum. While the Doctor is trying to avoid Montys attack in the Colosseum, Decky manages to trick Rulas into admitting that as Monty was a cunning ruthless genius who he had managed to outwit, he was therefore himself the most ruthless. As soon as Rulas acknowledges this fact he is teleported away into the Colosseum believed by Colossus to potentially be the ultimate fighter. Forced into escaping the arena and save his own life Rulas ends the Colossus program with the secret codeword ‘Gibwyn’. As the Colossus computer shuts down, all the combatants are returned to where they came from. Collecting the last of the co-ordinates for Decky’s home world, Decky is even more concerned about returning home and warning his people that Monty Punnions is up to no good.
