This page covers the Marvel comicbook hero Sharon Ventura also known as Ms Marvel , She-Thing . If this is not the page you were looking for check here.
This former Pro Wrestler has gone by the monikers Ms Marvel and She Thing through the years. Also, she has been a member of both the Fantastic Four and Frightful Four.
Sharon signed up for the Power Broker's program in order to join the Unlimited Class Wrestling Federation (UCWF). The Power Broker employed Dr. Karl Malus to create super-powered wrestlers for his competitions. Sharon was unaware of the criminal activities of Jackson or Malus. While boosting their subjects' strength, the pair addicted the subjects to a drug, ensuring their obedience. Sharon was given a costume by Auntie Freeze and was given the code name Ms Marvel.
During her treatment to enhance her strength, Sharon changed her mind. She was unwilling to become addicted to the drug that would be injected into her. She was able to break free and after Thing's timely arrival, flee.
Learning of how many people were now addicted to the drug Power Broker used, Sharon decided to take the battle to him. She was sold out by her (then) boyfriend and taken hostage by the Power Broker and Karl Malus. They attempted to remove her powers from her. Alongside that, various henchman not only tortured her but raped her as well. Luckily, she had some help from Captain America to bring it all down.
Chancing upon a battle between the Fantastic Four and Diablo, Sharon was able to defeat the villain. Due to her recent experiences, she had a new hatred for men and almost killed Diablo. Thing stopped her in time and offered her membership on his team. She accepted.
Shortly after, on a mission in space, she was bombarded with the same type of cosmic rays that the Fantastic Four encountered years ago. She mutated into the same shape as Thing. She had an extremely hard time with this at first and even tried to commit suicide by acting reckless in battle.
Months later, she was offered a cure by Doctor Doom which she refused. She was growing more comfortable with her appearance and place with the Fantastic Four. For many months she thrived with the team and adventured all of the universe and microverse. Thing and her became quite close during this time and she even became the only 'Thing' on the team when Ben was cured. Eventually, this bothered her and she sought out a cure for herself from Doctor Doom. She was cured and Ben was turned back into the Thing. She stayed by his side and only quit the team when Alicia Masters returned to Ben's life.
Doctor Doom returned to her life and convinced her to spy on the Fantastic Four as payment for her cure. She did so willingly. Turning on him once on the inside, Doom swore revenge. Ben had a hard time forgiving her and she left.
Later, Ben went out in search of her due to his feelings for her. He discovered her in an alley, mutated once more. She had lost the will to live and tried to kill herself several more times. To no avail. Mr. Fantastic did all he could to try and cure her. But when he was thought dead, she left once more.
Alone and confused, she was targeted by the Wizard for recruitment into the Frightful Four. She battled the Fantastic Four twice before Wyatt Wingfoot talked sense into her. She quit both groups and joined Wyatt on his reservation hoping to rediscover who she was.
She rejoined her friends for Invisible Woman's "girl's night out" and Thing's bar mitzvah (celebrating thirteen years as the Thing).
She recently encountered Iron Man and SHIELD as they tried to arrest her and a group of heroes refusing to register. It is unknown if she was arrested or escaped. It is also interesting to note that she was back in her human form.
