    Thing

    Character » Thing appears in 8022 issues.

    Ben Grimm, better known as the Thing, is the original quintessential tough-guy of the Marvel Universe. But, because of his transformation, he's also the tragic member of the Fantastic Four. Ben was an ace test-pilot until exposure to intense cosmic radiation mutated him into a rock-skinned monster with immense superhuman strength. Ben's exterior is much harder than stone which gives him a rather gruff disposition; but deep down, he has a heart of gold.

    This is my first time posting so hopefully im in the right place, but im pretty sure I found out the answer to the "who will breathe their last breath mystery.  Hickman said someone will perish, but im not sure this counts as dieing. I dont want to ruin it for anyone, but I found it by accident, so in case anyone wants to know what is going on here it is ( at least im pretty sure )


     
    I found this by accident, so there is a possibility its not true, but it looks right to me, and make sure don't look at this if you don't want it even possibly spoiled.

    Well seeing that you can find this on Marvel.com, it will be happening. He's not gonna die though. I'm 99% sure he's not gonna die.

    Yeah I couldnt find the link on Marvel for some reason so I figured that one was good enough, and I doubt he is going to die either, I actually like this solution though

    Welcome to the vine!  And doubt Ben will die seeing as how he's Bendis' new pet in New Avengers.  But I can be proven wrong otherwise I think the one to die is gonna be Johnny seeing as how Spidey will be joining the team in November

    Is Spidey really joining the team? I thought that was just fan art or something

    No that was a real teaser, but im pretty sure it will be Ben, but maybe Bendis re imagining the whole Magic aspect of Marvel comics will end up giving Ben a new skin, and maybe more control over his powers? I really like that idea now that I thought of it!
     
    And thank you for the welcome! Ive read here for the past couple months, this was just the first time I actually wanted to post something, so I made my own account

    The thing "sheds his skin" somehow, and breathes his last breath as the Thing, but returns back to Ben Grimm, here is the link I found 
    http://www.newsarama.com/comics/marvel-october-2010-solicitations-100727.html scroll down to Fantastic Four preview for October and you can see the description for the issue and the cover

    That happens in Ultimate Enemy, not the 616 "main" universe. It has no bearing on the "Fantastic 3" storyline

    @Moxtop: Hopefully but don't put to much trust into Bendis 
    @Gambit1024: Sadly its most likely true

    I'm actually cool with the magic thing, but I kinda don't want Ben to be human again. What's always made him unique is that he's the guy who hates who he is. When they take that kind of thing away from the character, they just become less interesting. Like when they let Rogue control her abilities or made Wolverine remember everything, it just made me lose interest.  
     
    And I'm not too found of Spidey becoming a member of the FF. He's starting to be on too many teams now.

    Spidey is probably my favorite hero, but I agree he is in way to many places at once right now, they really need to cool his exposure, keep him on New Avengers, he shouldn't even be on Avengers.

    Whatever, now there's an opening for Wolverine to join up with them.

    If he goes, then the group's going to miss their most awesome member. Seriously, Ben's my favorite member of the group, and without him, Johnny would lose his favorite punching bag. D:
