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)

The f*ck? 🤨

Exo-Suit Thing was crap, he was in Luke Cage strength levels.

Honestly they should be about even in strength, but overall Sasquatch would be a BIT stronger. Still that was easily one of my favirote comics ever 😄

No he wasn't, prove it.

Sasquatch can increase his strength ala Hulk as well.

Seriously do people even go to the Thing respect thread?!? 🤨

Underrated? Nah, he just isn't what he used to be anymore. Marvel seriously needs to give him a kick-ass upgrade, and FAST.

His "doesn't give up" power is not keeping up with the rest of Marvel.🙁

Agreed. My upgrades would include strength, endurance, durability and healing. 🙂

Although an upgrade would be cool 😖hifty:

Its not a diss to Sasquatch 😐

And when the Exo-Suit was first introduced, Ben went and fought Luke Cage and they were on the same level of strength

Show me, because if that were the case one hit from an enraged Sasquatch and the fight would have been over instantly.

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 wish thing woudl be at least stated as classs 100 in the comic handbooks if not excess , marvel are depowering charecters these days juggeranut hulk etc

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.

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.

I don't think he should be class 100 but should stillbe able to compete with the other characters
