No jobbing and everyone is fighting to MAX potential
Fight takes place at a Beach near New York city
Bonus Round:
The Thing has come to Gotham City to kill Batman (Post Crisis), Aquaman and Iron Man have to fight Thing long enough for Batman to create a device to kill him. Can they do it? Everyone is morals off and Thing always knows Batman's location. Batman can't leave the city.
Ha! Thou can add War Machine, Carol Danvers, Wonder Woman and Hawkman to the team and mayhap then their combined forces will allow them to achieve victory... 2 out of 10 times.
As it is they can only prevail if Batman's ingenuity saves their sorry arses! Otherwise, tis getting clobbered time for them!
So you think they can take a majority with Batman's help?
Implies the Crime Tank is probably as strong, if not better than the one that fought Thing. Prove it wasn't Thing is a helpless baby when Iron Man picks him up by his shorts - Avengers (1996) #6
Iron Man and Aquaman get stomped, no contest, as my "Iron Man is not a High-Tier, 200+ Images of a mid-tier in action" thread is soon to prove.

Once this is finished, I'll be making one for Aquaman.
The yellow circle shows where Thing's feet are off the ground
Thing countered the bullrush, but saying he wasn't knocked off his feet is the true fanfiction. Ben was nearly positioned to be laying down in the air rather than standing if you look at his legs and foot.
Ben has shown to be helpless if Iron Man puts him in position for a wedgie
You can see how his arm is desperately moving to attack Iron Man while he angrily shouts to be put down. The Thing was helpless and unable to do anything. He also admitted to try cheating on Spider-Man with Thor but that obviously didn't work out lol
He should just stick to giving that mouth-ta-mouth to Peter:
Iron Man or Aquaman can solo a slow brick like Thing.
Namor hitting with the force of a not speeding car and sending Thing flying with blood doesn't say much about either character. It is more typical than the high ends people keep using for both, however.
Here's Aquaman on the low end:
Gallery
Aquaman can pinpoint a highspeed chase in downtown Boston from the harbor because of his super-senses. He intercepted that highspeed chase easily and created a sonic boom in doing so, moving fast enough people didn't know what what was going on until he stopped moving. They saw a blur and explosion. That's an armored car in a high speed chase that Aquaman no-diffs.
Armored cube vans like that weigh approximately 6 tons and carry a similar amount of cargo weight. A car weighs about 2 tons in comparison and an already high speed chase van flooring it can easily be 90 mph.
p=mv therefore Aquaman no-diffed a momentum 6 times what made Thing bleed and go flying. That's lower showing for lower showings. It's also one of the most likely in character responses to Thing or Namor. The come in to punch and Aquaman's speed, reach, and weapon stab them first before tossing them away.
Thing's typical durability feats might be more in line with Animated Aquaman.
Loading Video...
Animated Aquaman gets punched flying from the harbor into the city through buildings, moves fast enough to move dust out of the air, and doesn't bleed from a speeding car. I'll also point out Superman and Aquaman were the only characters referred to as "gods" in that movie, and Wonder Woman the only one claiming she has any business fighting with gods. ;-)
@ashrym: Well yeah it's no secret the Thing has never been particularly fast...
Also gets hurt by a trash can thrown by a villain that Iron Man & Thor have dealt with multiple times, yet the Thing has failed to KO him in every encounter. I wonder why

Thing gets hurt by a lot of things and he is slow. That's the issue. People keep making arguments against Iron Man or Aquaman citing "typical' for both of them as a form of gaslighting the better feats, and then use the better feats of other character through scaling in Thing's particular battles to claim Thing wins.
