Sorry to say that but if Progenitus has protection from everything, it includes WHITE, which is Wrath of God's color, and so preventing it to be removed from the battlefield. The only ways to kill Progenitus would be to either counterspell it, sacrifice it yourself or get it discarded from your hand.

Very overrated. The cost is unpayable, so the only option is to put it into play through other means.

No Flying.
No Trample.
Essentially no evasion.
Nothing that wins you the game.

Why the hell play him instead of another, better creature (such as Iona or Darksteel Colossus)?

I don't know why everyone automatically assumes this card can be destroyed by cards that dont target it. If it said, "This card is protected from all White spells.", would you still think Wrath of God can destroy it? NO. Its a white spell, and therefore, this card should be immune to it. If it's protected from EVERYTHING, why would a mass targeting Black or White spell, which I'm fairly sure fall into the category of everything, affect him?

Dark Steel Colossus is indestructible, so, he can't be destroyed, even by Wrath Of God, buuuuuut, If you use Boomerang on it, or any card/effect that sends it back to its owners hand or deck, then that should work just fine on DSC. NOT SO on Progenitus. Boomerang? Thats a blue spell. Protected against those. Royal Assassins ability wants to kill it cuz its tapped? Nope, its protected against abilities.

Protection against everything is protection against yo.

Has from "Everything" isn't specific enough. The way i think of it is; It has protection from white, blue, green, red, and black, so in a way wrath of god can't destroy it since it's white. And you can't make your opponent sacrifice it since it has protection from "everything" and since sacrifice is a term, its something and since it's something its part of "everything" so you can't sacrifice it.

Killing progenitus is not that difficult
Don't forget it's only a creature. if you put 3 auras in another,for making it a creature with 11 defense, this one will become useless.
it's very difficult to cast it too and you always can kill it while it's in the opponent's hand (with telepathy + Talara's Bane, suposing it's all card types) , or with non target spells like slice and dice
And, of course, creatures aren't all in this game. By the time the opponent could cast progenitus, his life points will be low enough for killing him with enchantments like lightning bolt, searing flesh or banefire

Banefire pumped by 10 mana is the only way to get rid of this guy, since if Banefires "X" is more than five, NO ABILITY can prevent the damage. Protection is an ability, thus Banefire circumvents it. Translation, anyone running a deck with ANY red in it competitively should have an A**Load of mountains and four Banefire's.

LOL the first time i ever opened a pack... yes i bought a booster pack b4 a box or deck or starter deck. but ya, the first time i opened a booster pack i went thru the cards thinking "HOLY CRAP THESE CARDS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! Y WULD I ........ wats this.... OMG I LOVE THIS CARD!" yes it was a bunch of crappy commons, then the last actual card i looked at was Progenitus. made my day and my friends the most envious ppl in the world. ever since then iv had the most amazing luck with finding mythic rares, i have Progenitus, Platinum Angel, Avenger of Zendikar, Phyrexian Negator, Linvala, Keeper of Silence, Rampaging Baloths, and Felidar Soverign. all from just opening booster packs.
