Colossus
She Hulk
Savage Hulk
Wonder Man
Namor
Abomination
Kurse
Mangog
Hercules
Iron Man (H2H)
Thor (H2H)
Juggernaut (Classic)
Professor Hulk
Atlas

Who can Ben beat anymore?

i can already see Grimm coming in here.........

Thing would beat Colossus or She-Hulk (classic), IMO. Possibly Iron Man as well in hand-to-hand.
Thing would put up a terrific fight against most of the others.
Kurse and Mangog would clobber him something awful, though.

In all honesty I think he could probably give she-hulk, iron man and colossus a good run for the money. Is Ben actually CL100 now?

That's what Grimm CLAIMS, but somehow I doubt it.
MJOILNIR
I really don't know...Bens a pretty good brawler. His h2h skills are on average better than a lot of bricks. The thing is that most big time bricks are such powerhouse badasses.Even the thing can only stand so much punishment from characters who can drag Manhattan ect.

I don't see it. Thing's one of the top guys in his weight class but I've never seen him as quite top tier in strength.
Personally I like that aspect of the character. It's more interesting to see Thing having to use his smarts as well as his might in battles with the top guys than to see just another even slugfest between two top strongmen.

Oh, and I'll add in Sasquatch for Mungi.

That's quite different from being "class" 100, actually. Marvel's system is f*cked up, but Ben is not class 100.
tkitna
I'm pretty much with everybody else, Ben can probably take Colossus, She-Hulk, Iron Man, and maybe Namor on certain days. Ben is more often than not the better fighter, but as mentioned before, the other people are just too strong.

Honestly the only reason I say he is Class 100 is because others in his strength class (Colossus, Sasquatch) have been claimed to be class 100.
I donno, go figure

I personally think Thing needs a strength upgrade. He's rapidly losing what used to be his territory as a Marvel powerhouse.

The Fantastic Four would get along fine as the Fantastic Three. But it doesn't really have the same ring to it.
Jonathanos
Iron Man's power-ups never seem to last. He'll get a new, updated armor and for a short time he'll be pushed as more powerful.
Eventually, he quietly returns to his old standing in the heirarchy.

Yep, that's the truth.
Ben pretty much gets owned by Reed all the time. Not to mention what an asset Reed brings to the team via BRAINS. Ben is basically useless on the team. He's there because he's Reed's best friend.
Accel
I can see Thing as Class 100, but until Marvel actually has him perform feats in that range, no one's going to really accept it.

Colossus - Close, could go either way
She Hulk - Ben takes the majority

Honestly? I don't see him getting the majority with any of them here.
At the very most, he wins an even amount (5/10) of matches with some of them.

I swear you guys don't know 1/2 of what you spew out on to your keyboards 99% of the time.
Where to start?
Ben will beat:
Colossus 7/10 (never really have fought love to see it Ben owned the skrull Colossus)
SHE-HULK 9/10 (Ben has owned SHE-HULK every time they have fought except the time Ben had a blood alcohol content of .40)
Savage HULK 3/10 (For the majority Savage is too much for Ben, As he is for 90% of the rest of the list)
Wonderman 7/10 (Ben has beaten Wonderman handily every time)
Namor 5/10 (Ben and Namor is always a great fight but there is never a clear winner with one not getting back up)
Abomination 6/10 (I don't think Ben has ever fought Abom it would be a great fight)
Kurse 1/10 (Too much for Ben as they are for 90% of the rest of the list)
Mangog 1/10 (Too much for Ben as they are for 90% of the rest of the list)
Hercules 5/10 (A fight that could either way and has)
Iron Man h2h 6/10 (IM is faster and maybe stronger but Bens fighting skill and "heart" win the majority until Tony downloads past fights of Bens into his armor then it's 2/10)
THOR h2h 3/10 ( THOR is THOR he is outside of a dc crossover always a beast for the majority is too much for Ben)
Juggernaut (classic) 2/10 (People like to use that horrible waste of paper and ink and everyones money called SW as a ruler to what would happen if they truly fought I say BS. Juggernaut (classic) is too much for Ben for the majority but not once would it really ever be a 3 hit combo for the win... It would be a long fight)
Prof. HULK 7/10 (Ben has an advantage in every category except in strength if it goes for a long time of straight fighting but even with that Ben dominates him)
Atlas 8/10 (Ben has owned Atlas and will continue to do so)
Count Nafaria h2h 2/10 (The count would be too much for Ben for the majority)
Sentry h2h 2/10 (Sentry is too fast and too strong for the majority)

Yeah, there is. Namor.
He's already knocked out Ben at least three times.
One of the times happened on land, and all the times he knocked him out water, he still used only his strength.
Full power Namor will defeat Ben 9/10. He's far faster, stronger, better fighter, way more experienced, etc. Pretty much all advatanges are his.

Thing has the advantage in speed and skill. That's it.
And here's a couple of their encounters:
FF #374:

FF Unlimited #4:
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/Jonathanos/Merged2a.jpg
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/Jonathanos/Merged2b.jpg
Thing does better in their fight at the end, but it was a staged fight. Mole Man had captured their allies in order to make them fight to the death. An invisible barrier around Hulk and Thing drained the energy they expended in the fight, which Mole Man wanted to use to save his beloved Kala.
At the end of the fight, the Hulk started walking off, saying he was done with the fight. When he got so far, he turned and both he and Thing shouted "NOW!"
They rammed into one another and the energy overloaded the field. Mole Man was like, "No! My field! Gone!" Hulk: "Fancy that!" Thing: "How DO these things happen?"

The thread startter didn't specify what Hercules it is.. People here were talking about Spikey Thing, so I assumed it's the strongest incarnation of Hercules.
I have no idea wether current Hercules is immortal or not. He still posesses twice the base strength of Hulk, no..? (Abomination's strength)
I'm not sure what's ancient Herc's strength level, but it's not very high apparently.
Also, Hercules' skills are on a very high level.
How does Thing get a win or 2 over Sentry?
Hulk's stronger, lot smarter, and has a healing factor. Can't really say anything about speed. Durability and skills might go for Thing..
How many times has Thing beat Savage Hulk? How's he taking 3 fights from 10?
7/10 on a fanboy scale..? If you think Thing owning a Colossus - Skrull is impressive, Colossus owned a Hulk - Skrull in a blow or two. Maybe it's a time for a Col. vs Thing thread again..?

Wow i saw Yony around but never realised he was such a big fanboy.

NO offense Thing is one of my favorite characters but it has been awhile now since he was a powerhouse in Marvel.
Heck he used to be top tier strength for Earth but now he is just mid-tier a high mid-tier but still middle of the road in strength
As for an upgrade I'm not about giving people random upgrades just to keep them formidable. Thing is still a good character just the way he is. That is he is the team brawler. He provides the muscle while other people provide the skills.

All good points. But the fact that Ben isn't top tier in strength anymore shows that he's been "passed over" for a while. He is the strength of the FF and should be kept competitive as such.

I know what you mean. The FF is such a huge group that Thing should seemingly be stronger but I don't know giving him a power upgrade is the way to go with Thing.
That isn't what the character is about.
The way I always saw Thing is this. He isn't the strongest but he is strong enough. He isn't the most durable but he is tough enough. He isn't the best fighter but he good enough.
I mean look at Civil War Thing has an impact despite not being the best because in the end it doesn't matter how strong he is you respect him as a character and know he is always going to stand up no matter the obstacles for what he believes in.
badabing
Yeah. It just seems lately everybody has caught up to or surpassed Ben.
And since I'm a Thing fan, I want him able to bust loose on anybody under Thor level.

If you take the Class system has an actual weight system, Rogue is probably Class 100. Spider-Man is probably Class 60-70. 100 tons isn't really all that much anyway for a comic character.
To answer the topic question, no, but he never really could anyway.

how is psidey 60-70? i would like to believe he is

I'm saying that if you dig deep enough you would probably find a feat where Spidey lifts 60 or 70 tons yet is still only Class 15 or whatever he is nowadays.

On panel feats versus strength ratings. It's a no win situation. They always contradict each other.

Read it and you didn't mention the part Cage was augmented by the Puppet Master
. Also from #169 Cage even beat the Fantastic Four, he even broke one of IW's forcefields, and knocked out Mr.Fantastic, picked up a rocket with ease. Also the reason Cage gave Thing trouble as it was mentioned in the issue that Ben wasn't used to using the exo-suit yet.
Reed: "For Luke Cage is still at large--probally under the influence of one of our arch foes--and he's got power enough at his disposal to wreck a city"
Puppet Master: "because fool--this puppet, using the last of my precious clay, represents the ultimate achievement of my intellectual prowless. No doll of mine has ever been so powerful"
====
Reed about constructing the exo-suit for Ben
Reed: "make you nearly as powerful as before"
Reed: "restore most of the strength he used to possess"

Grimm just got OWNED on Fantastic Four comics.

The Fantastic FOur were holding back, but still. He took them out.
Puppet Master allowed Cage to retain part of his intelligence so he could be a better fighter. He also ripped an entire section of a wall out and tossed it at Human Torch knocking him out as he wasn't fully flamed to melt the metal.

He's not as skilled. She's had FANTASTIC training and I belive she had training from Gamora, no? She punked Champion after all. And she's probably stronger. How the hell is Ben smarter than her? He can hardly speak a sentence w/o f*cking up the English language in some way. Like I said.... Ben 5-6/10 if he's lucky.

First, Ben has mastered many forms of combat; Boxing, Wrestling, Street Fighting, Grappleing, ect..
Second, Ben isnt stupid.
Last, She-Hulk beating Champion is a bunch of crap. You know it, I know it. Everybody knows it

Colossus- Thing takes the majority
She Hulk- ^
Savage Hulk- not sure about this one
Wonder Man- ^
Namor- Thing loses
Abomination- correct me if Im wrong, but doesnt Abom get tossed around by Grey Hulk? If he loses to GH, Thing beats him twice as fast.
Kurse- Thing loses.
Mangog- Thing loses.
Hercules- ^
Iron Man (H2H)- Iron Man? Why is he considered a brawler? Thing turns him into a tin can. IMs power comes from his ranged weapons.
Thor (H2H)- Thing loses, badly
Juggernaut (Classic)- ^
Professor Hulk- Split
Atlas- Not sure about this, dont know enough about Atlas.
Count Nefaria (H2H)- ^
Sentry (H2H)- Sentry pwns Thing.
