    Thing

    Character » Thing appears in 8020 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.

    Thoughts on Michael Chiklis as Thing in the FF movies?

    One of the only things that were good about the movie. The other being Chris Evans.

    It seems most people liked Chiklis as the Thing.  
    It's kinda of ironic that he now plays another super-strong character in his new series "No Ordinary Family.
