this is a new thread of respect for the Thing, with pictures from all over the internet, which I picked up in forums, blogs and scan the entire network
will be a little different, better order it, it will divide into chapters
-Reed Richards: my best friend is a linebacker made out of orange rock, nearly invulnerable, and strong enough to arm wrestle Thor and almost beat him
-Champion: my enemy more powerful was the Thing!
-Skrulls: He is the strongest one in the sol galaxy!
-Doctor Doom: The strongest creature on the Earth!
-Iron Man: Grimm's strength is incredible!
-Silver Surfer: your natural strength is almost beyond my comprension!
-Ultron: you posses a great strength, human! Perhaps, it equals my own!
-Namor: your strength is immeasurable, on land!
FEAT
The strength of the Thing, through the training and equipment of Reed, grew more and more
if in the first few numbers was class 5-10, already after a few months the strength of Ben grew up to make a Mid-Tier, to levels of 100 tons that you may notice about the 80-90 years onwards
Mr Grimm has Feat of physical strength that make a real maximum weight, and other impressive, ranging from hundreds of tonnes per weight planetary
these are not feat of strength worthy of a Class 100?
lifts and throws a pyramid
this pyramid exists, and weighs about 200 tons

but what has ALWAYS been able to keep up with him, and to gain some victory
Hulk has never been able to easily defeat Ben, except in WHH
When had the Thing won?
1)Hard Knocks
in this story is told that after their first encounter, the Thing has left F4, furious, because thinks he's a monster, and met Hulk
Ben attacks Hulk and beats him mercilessly until it turned into Banner
Hulk was weakened by a ray? no
because in history, Hulk reverts to Banner, then retrieves all the energy
Moreover, the fight happened the day after

The Thing and Colossus are the strong ones that are most often compared
why?
are among the most popular, as well as being the strongest members of their team, F4 and X-Men
despite this, they never clashed, as standard
in X-Men Annual 5, disputing an arm-wrestling match
wins the Thing, but Colossus is distracted by Kitty
in my opinion, this is the battle more interesting
Namor and the Thing have always been great rivals ... maybe not for the readers, but the marvel universe rivalry / hatred that exists between Ben Grimm and Sub-Mariner is a catchphrase
a catchphrase that has come back into vogue thanks to AVX .... where Ben and Namor have faced 5-6 times!
First, what is the relationship between the two?
they were both enemies and allies have rarely, but between the two there is a lot of respect
Ben says that Namor is a enemy worthy of his strength
Namor, in FF 147, believing beat him, Namor calls him "the most powerful member of the F4" (please log in to view the image)
but, on the land, who is the stronger?
the answer is in their first battle, in FF9
Namor is stronger in water
The Thing understand it, and moves the battle on the beach
(please log in to view the image)
here, away from its environment, the Thing is more stronger
(please log in to view the image)
and here the Thing was not strong as today
in the following years, the Thing has proved more stronger on the land
This clash has surprised everyone, because water Namor should be more powerful.... including me
I, who have followed the scan from Italy, I was amazed by the result

This thread is exactly what I've been talking about for years. The idea that as the Marvel Universe continues to expand, all the heroes and villains have been so over powered that the strong aren't even that strong any more. And The Thing has been relegated to Marvel's whipping boy.
A hero they use because his name is associated with strength, to receive beatings by all newcomers and old characters alike. This is all done in order to prove the power levels of those characters. It's a stupid idea and one that has made a joke out of one of Marvel's greatest. I stopped reading FF comics because of this new take on the Thing.
This thread does a great job of remembering who the Thing is and what he is capable of doing. It's good to see other like minded fans who are tired of seeing the Thing represented as only effective when part of the FF. Great thread, thanks for starting it!
