No bfr, not weapons,
This takes place in a planet Hulk battle arena:
Why is Groot talking like that? Doesn't he only say "I am Groot!"?
He was much more vocal in his early appearances, even up to his appearance in the short lived Howling Commandos series (He held a full conversation with Gorilla Man Kenneth Hale, who was trying to recruit Groot into SHIELD's special monster task force.) If I'm not mistaken, the "I am Groot." repetition only came about when he was introduced into the Guardians of the Galaxy.
IIRC, there is no wood or plant life in the arena that would appreciably enable Groot to heal himself or increase his strength to levels the Thing couldn't match. Though Groot has the size advantage and ability to regrow himself from a twig, Ben has the better base damage resistance. I'll go with Ben, 6/10.
@w0nd: @frisky4: @xiix: @angrir:
There really isn't anything Thing can do to Groot guys. Groot is just simply in another league. I'm not putting Ben down, but Groot is significantly stronger, more durable, and has an amazing healing factor. Not to mention his dendrokinesis, which really isn't even necessary here. This isn't really fair.
Just look at the difference between their fights with the Monster of Badoon:
Thing hits Monster of Badoon with his strongest punch.
Monster of Badoon is not even phased. Ben even comments that it was his hardest punch and it did nothing to him. Then Monster of Badoon retaliates:
A one hit knock out against Thing.
After this, the next time we see Monster of Badoon, he gets a massive upgrade to the point that he fights Silver Surfer:
The Monster of Badoon gets a serious upgrade in size and speed. He eventually gets beat by the Silver Surfer, but Surfer comments how he is only just faster then MoB to narrowly avoid being crushed by him by a microsecond.
After this, Surfer hits him with a cosmic blast that MoB survives. He loses the fight, but the fact that he didn't die shows some nice durability.
The next time we see the Monster of Badoon, he's even bigger and it's against Groot.
As you can see, Monster of Badoon is massive in this fight:
Groot immediately squares off with him, and man-handles him the entire fight. Not only does Groot prove to be much stronger, but he's able to manhandle a character that was only a microsecond slower then Surfer.
Groot is clearly manhandling MoB. It's no contest.
Groot finishes up with a massive coup de grace.
Groot not only wins, but he hits MoB so hard that it tears his head off. Even Major Victory comments on Groot having "a beautiful right hook". Lol
Anyways, just look at the difference in their strength. Thing can't even hurt MoB with his strongest punch. Groot hits an upgraded MoB so hard that it rips his head off.
I rest my case.
LOL go look at his posts. he hates when thing loses. He got mad at an actual scan of iceman freezing thing solid and tried to argue it. I wouldn't get into an argument with him it will go on for hours.
check out his profile

it ONLY has him posting about thing for the first page if not all lol.... any time 616 loses a battle he brings up ultimate.
Grass is super effective on Rock
LMFAO!
No yu just hate to lose thats all............... sorry
plus ultimate is the best form soooooo, why not use.......
how do i hate to lose. you said iceman cant freeze the thing ...someone pastes this pic and you still proceed to argue with the picture
Someone posts a scan of Groot being stronger than 616 thing...so you bring up ultimate. Even though the Hulk battle arena doesn't exist in the ultimate universe so it's most likely the 616 version.
you said Thing can leap as high as the hulk, I told you he couldn't and when I am done scanning the issue I will upload a picture of him admitting he can't jump that high, and you can argue with that scan too. Then you can bring up how you meant 616 version.
If I hate losing why are you always the one who brings up ultimate thing when someone mentions 616.
Grass is super effective on Rock
hahahaha! this^^
you said Thing can leap as high as the hulk, I told you he couldn't and when I am done scanning the issue I will upload a picture of him admitting he can't jump that high, and you can argue with that scan too. Then you can bring up how you meant 616 version.
I don't really care either way on this debate. I'm not weighing in on this really, I'm just providing the scan for you because I don't want to get pulled into a Hulk vs Thing debate. :)
And then Hulk jumping nearly a 1000 miles.
Like I said, I'm just giving you the scans so you don't have to look them up, but you guys can discuss however you'd like.
Nobody said Thing can't jump; they said that he cannot jump as high as Hulk. That scan does not have anything to do with the Hulk - and frankly, neither does this thread, since Hulk is not in the fight.
Also, that is Ultimate Thing, which has no bearing on this debate. Unless stated otherwise, it is always mainstream versions of the characters; therefore, it is 616 Thing.
@w0nd: How come he said he cant leap as high as hulk but in the scan i posted he clearly did..
Explain
Are you seriously posting a picture of ultimate thing again? You basically proved my point. any time someone says anythign about 616 thing in you shoe horn in ultimate. yes we get ultimate thing is unstoppable.
that's also not as high as hulk by the way, hulk jumps from city to city.
jumping "High" is not the same as jumping the same height as the hulk lol...
also that scan doesn't really show how high he jumped....he got smacked before he made it to the building, and judging from where he went through the building that puts him just above half....so good now we are comparing half a building to city wide jumps. that's fair I guess.
Since people wanna destroy thing whenever a battle shows up i put ultimate form of him because, frankly thats where all his powers really come out...
No yu just hate to lose thats all............... sorry
So because you hate to lose you pick a version of him that wasn't included in the battle? that doesn't make sense. For every battle on the battle threat people will just pick god mode characters from alternate universes. In that spider-man vs thing thread why not just pick the captain universe spider-man then..."that's where his power really came out" or the phoenix force spider-man.
Someone posted a scan of groot displaying strength 616 thing could not. that answered pretty much the question. he can regenerate, he is apparently faster, and he is not apparently stronger too....
people always try to put thing down by posting him battling daredevil type heroes and some people even vote for them over looking everything else, so i have to support him whenever i can thats just it, plus seriously dude heart doesnt really get you anywhere anymore at all
actually it never got the thing anything except getting beat up by spiderman..... seriously spiderman..............
