If someone doesn't have blood doesn't mean they are immune to poison. If someone has blood doesn't mean they should be affected by poison
Anyways why are we talking science in a game where you can fight as a duck in a suit of armour?
Quote from marvel.wikia: His armored form can withstand ballistic penetration, including that of a 110 millimeter Howitzer shell. He can survive temperature extremes from 70 degrees Fahrenheit above absolute zero (-390 degrees Fahrenheit) to approximately 9000 degrees Fahrenheit. He can survive a collision with a loaded, one ton flatbed truck at 100 miles per hour or an explosion of 450 pounds of TNT. He can also survive falls from great heights while in his armored body. Colossus' armored form cannot rust under normal Earth conditions.Furthermore, his eyes become steel-like and allowing his eyeballs to withstand and deflect even the impact of a .45 caliber bullet.
Even if you did, you would still be wrong. Plants don't have blood, yet they are totally poisoned on both real world and in this game. Some humans in the real world developed poison immunity (to some specific poisons), and the same happens in this game (the difference is, there is just one type of poison here, so no one is exclusively immune to one poison and not to another).
I agree how difficult the comic book writers make things in order to understand the mechanics of their characters realistically. While we know Colossus does not need food, water or air to survive, nothing is mentioned about poison. In MCoC poison can range from radioactivity (Abomination), ant venom (Ant-Man), 'spirit venom' (Doctor Voodoo) to plant-based venoms (King Groot). Each can react physically and chemically different to Colossus. So maybe he is poison immune, maybe not. Steel doesn't burn that easily (otherwise you wouldn't use it as cooking gear). For something to combust into flames and turn to ash, it needs to cause a chain reaction that causes the material to completely chemically reduce itself. Metals however have the capability of forming a passivating metal oxide layer which protects the underlying metal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passivation_(chemistry)
As stated in your article about chlorine trifluoride:
"It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals — steel, copper, aluminium, etc. — because of the formation of a thin film of insoluble metal fluoride which protects the bulk of the metal, just as the invisible coat of oxide on aluminium keeps it from burning up in the atmosphere. If, however, this coat is melted or scrubbed off, and has no chance to reform, the operator is confronted with the problem of coping with a metal-fluorine fire."
So yeah, you can throw chlorine trifluoride to Colossus and he will not care anyway. The passivating metal oxide will protect him from further reduction.
What about heat, though? Osmium has the fifth highest melting temperature of all elements, melting at a staggering 3033 °C or 5491 °F. Colossus can swim in lava (+/- 1200 °C) if he wants to. In the comics, he is resistant to burn and electric shock.
The only mistake that is made in the comics is cold: although Colossus can perfectly go to the Antarctic for a walk, it would make his skin brittle. This is dramatised if he goes from room temperature to absolute zero, like Iceman can. For every metal, the ductile-brittleness transition temperature (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ductility#Ductile-brittle_transition_temperature) is different.
The closest thing I could find generally available to read on the internet that hints at the passivation requirements is a safety data sheet for ClF3: https://www.scribd.com/doc/70607697/Safetygram-39-ClF3. See the section "System Preparation" that cautions on slowly performing passivation with increasing concentrations of ClF3 to ensure the passivation reactions don't generate too much heat too quickly.
Also, steel wool combusts. The issue isn't the oxide layer that forms during oxidation, it is the ratio of surface area to volume, which limits the heat per unit volume generated. Below a certain ratio the reaction is not self-sustaining. Above a critical ratio, it is and the material can spontaneously combust once ignition occurs.
