    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.

    Nope. You could pretty much forget any real personal interaction with your significant other and it's not like there are any supervillains out there anyway.

    If I lived in the 616verse? Yeah, I probably would. He saves countless lives and still gets some trim.

    In the real world? I doubt it. I'd probably get abducted by the government and never get to do anything good for society. Most importantly, I'd probably never get to be with a woman again.
