    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.

    Six years before John Stewart patrolled the patchwork Mosaic on Oa, The Thing wandered the Beyonder's patchwork Battleworld after the Secret Wars. Choosing to stay because he could turn back-and-forth to Ben Grimm, the Thing had a number of adventures on Battleworld before returning to Earth. Personally, this was a favorite storyline for me when it was coming out. I'd love to see this collected into TPB.

    Would you buy it? Let me know in the comments, and thanks for reading.

    Even though this wasn't one of my favorite Thing story-arcs, yes I would buy a TPB of his adventures on Battleworld.

    Now moved to the Thing Classic forum. Success! :)

    The site redesign had messed this blog up for a bit, and I couldn't get into it to edit it. So for a brief time, I had redone this blog as a list, and these are the comments from that list (the list is now deleted):

    Who:Date/Time:Comment:
    kfhrfdu_89_76k6/7/14 @10:46amI plan to.
    cbishop6/7/14 @8:42pm@kfhrfdu_89_76k: Yeah, I haven't had the money to buy this one yet, but I want it too. :)

    We now return you to your regularly scheduled blog comments. -cb
