@Andferne: This isn't Pym, is Eric O'Grady... in fact the real Pym has evolved a lot since the Mighty Avengers run, so I wouldn't call him imature (maybe only when he had this fight with Reed Richards, but it was brilliant at the end, so it doesn't count at immature :P)
Depends how you define immature. Batman is certainly a case for arrested development, he's obsessed with righting a wrong that occurred more than thirty years ago. (Depending on the interpretation, I guess. Arrested development Batman is more Serious House on Serious Earth than JLA.)
Spider-Man, for choosing his mother-figure over his marriage exhibits some classic selfish childish behavior.
A case could be made for both Kyle Rayner and Guy Gardner, too. Kyle because he is so childlike and imaginative. (No one said a little immaturity is a bad thing.) Guy because he can't keep his mouth in check, and acts like a macho-alpha male to hide his general insecurities.
Hulk has often been compared to a child throwing a fit.
And then there are the obvious ones: Deadpool, Ambush Bug, Great Lakes Avengers, Impulse (Bart) etc.
I'd disagree with your assessment of the Thing. Matter of fact, I'd say Ben was one of the most mature characters in comics, constantly making sacrifices for the greater good of his family and friends. And really, he's the most mature of the men in the FF. Reed is practically a mad scientist, and Johnny... Well, Johnny is the posterboy for immature Marvel heroes.
Lou Martin from Major Bummer. its an easy pick and theres not alot to explain. he is a big kid in a superhero body who wants nothing but to sit around and doesnt take anything in life seriously.
Artemis, immaturely, blinded by envy and her thirst for personal ambition to become in Wonder Woman, adopted a very arrogant and childish attitude fighting against his sister Diana to displace and replace her in the JLA. Her attempt was in vain, was rejected by the JLA and very despotically was paying against her sister Diana, Artemis unfairly takes out her dirty laundry and rubs on Diana face. Arrggh, the moment I can not upload the scans, by the blessed bug I have on my pc, I'll do it later.
" @JediXMan: Interesting. Vulcan because he just wants to conquer? "
No. Lots of people want to conquer yet are not immature. Vulcan just fights and views his soldiers as toys and planets as play sets. And anyone that fights him is someone trying to take his toys. That really is his frame of mind, it seems.
Remember: he was artificially aged. While his appearance is adult, his mind is still a child.

Doesn't Apoc. and Magneto also see his soldiers as toys in a way? Or is this an exaggeration? "
There's a difference between viewing soldiers as pawns in a game and acting like soldiers are just toys for fun. Basically, Magneto, Apocalypse, and Doom view their soldiers as expendable and just another pawn. Vulcan views them as toys; literal toys, not pieces on a galactic chess board.

@Decoy Elite: Pym just given how extremely intelligent he is seems like he'd be more mature since he does know better. His genius is off set by his petty jealousy, scientist supreme self patting, hitting his wife, spying on girls, childish bets on Osborn, short fused temper, not doing things purely out of spite, often acting quickly on anger when he is capable of developing masterful plans were he in control of his emotions, etc
Torch is like a child and trying to argue with Spider-man who is vastly superior in intelligence, he ribs on Ben like a little brother would, and though he is an adult gets treated like a child by Reed who might as well be his step dad.
Iceman is a goober I know he teaches or taught math but he's like an eternal teenager
Flash I think it is self evident here, though he has his grown up moments he reverts back to 7th grade around women
Bullseye is like an immature bully subject to hubris, and suckered into verbal jousting with ease
Venon as Gargon is more stupid than immature but a bit of both
Deadpool though capable of complex plans, has at least one of his voices as really really immature
Namor is a temperamental, almost brattish machoist
Wonderwoman is the same as Namor only add borderline sexist as well
Hulk has the mentality between a 5 year old and a monkey, but because he is part banner, he isn't so much immature as he is in a rage and incapable of thiking, he does prevent himself from killing, which shows some sort of control.
