Les Heroes de Paris were unknown until they made contact with The Thing to ask for his help. Grimm came to France to avoid the moral and legal implications of the superhuman Civil War, and had just sat down at le Rose et la Plume cafe after being told about it from a street vendor when a hidden mechanism lowered him to an underground headquarters where he meets les Heroes de Paris. Adamantine, had disguised himself as the street vendor and, apologized for the deception, saying it was necessary to save precious time. He explained that the team could use his strength in fighting l'Empereur du Monde Souterrain who had assembled an army of rock beings, whom he was going to order to dig under Paris, and destroy the city. The Thing, who missed "the good old days" agrees to help.
They made their way past the rock creatures, then le Vent uses his speed to throw the Thing directly to l'Empereur's tunneler. The villain begins to rant and declares the city above, which gives nothing but pain, deserves to be destroyed for the pain it caused him. The Thing ammediatly recognizes his woman troubles when he see's them. He destroys the tunnler, but causes a explosion that creates a cave in. However Les Heroes and Grimm with l'Empereur. After saving the city they release him to his estranged girlfriend Louise since l'Empereur (now just "René") hadn't been able to do any real damage . She is so impressed by his devotion, she agrees to reconcile and marry him. The Thing goes to dinner with his new friends.
Fun fact; The name is misspelled and correct french would be Les Héros de Paris.
