This is tough. While Ben is initially stronger and more durable, Guido has an ace up his sleeve--the ability to absorb all kinetic energy. Aka, the only thing Thing can dish out to him.
Hm...tough to say really. SG might be able to overpower Thing eventually. Or at least wear him down.
Actually he still has that problem he can just absorb more before he has a heart attack. Strong Guy though was not able to hang with the Hulk really and Thing has. Based on that and his performance against Rogue I would lean towards Thing.

Yea I know. But it did't fix the problem completely it just raised his limit before he has a heart attack. Though he still cannot store the energy, he still has to get rid of it somehow. Sebastian Shaw has a similar powerset but seems to have less restrictions.

Then what the heck was the Kinetic dampeners around the heart about that Forge was explaining? I take it that the heart doesnt receive any kinetic energy because of that he doesnt have that problem anymore, less he takes bad care dietary wise for his body..
Don't you think the release of so much energy that Thing lends him will be very powerful? I do, especially since he could release a CRAPLOAD of it at once. That much energy transferred to Thing could prove very damaging.
You might be right. But based on his fights with Rogue and Hulk it didn't work so well for him. But he did beat Warpath though. I just don't know how long it will take him to reach Things strength. I mean when Guido fights back he's loosing the energy he absorbed so I would think it would take him a long time to reach Things level.

Does it matter if Hulk is that much stronger than Thing? Thing's still held his own with the Hulk over a dozen times. Strong guy didnt seem to land a single punch on the Hulk and he had the help of the entire X-Factor roster. Strong Guy's resume just isnt that great...he almost lost to the Blob.
