Things Run a Gauntlet

I mean no disrespect to Thing whatsoever, but he's a brawler. And there's nothing wrong with that. It gets the job done. I know he used to be a great boxer, but that's about the extent of it.

But Colossus is actually an accomplished martial artist, with training from Cyclops, Wolverine, and Nightcrawler. And he's shown these skills before, too.

You got that info from wiki? lolz almost the same sentence

Thing in his past life is boxer like you said, but his power grows, and he trains as well. What could rock monster do most of the years anyways?

No, I didn't get it from wikipedia. Colosuss is probably my favorite X-Men character, so I think it's pretty safe to say that I know a lot about him.

And Colossus has also had decades of training. Combined with the hands-on training with Cyke, Wolvie, and NC, that puts him above Thing. Especially because he's a judo expert, which would rock Thing in a bad way (no pun intended).

I sure over the 46 years of Things been around he has more skilled then a boxer wreslter and a street fighter.

1. Luke Cage vs Thing = Thing

2. Mr. Hyde vs Thing = Thing

3. Tiger Shark = Thing

4. Rhino = Thing

5. Strong Guy = Thing 6/10

6. Ares vs Thing = Thing

7. Namor vs Thing = toss up

8. Wonder Man vs Thing = Toss Up

9. Colossus vs Thing = Thing imo

10. Abomination vs Thing = Abomination

11. Savage Hulk vs Thing = Hulk has the attributes to win but Thing has the smarts to win also toss up

I dont know Golem. I'd disagree with some of your choices. Its definately possible for Thing to beat Strong Guy, but I cant give him a majority. Just opinion though. I think Wonder Man would beat Ben almost everytime. Just to strong and fast. Colossus is a toss up, but i'd give Ben the majority too. As for Savage Hulk, I cant see Ben winning any (and he hasent). Thing has never beaten the Hulk (except for Pineapple Thing). Oh well, just my opinions I suppose.

And Colossus has had 33 years training with top-tier fighters throughout his career as well as nigh-constant Danger Room training. It also helps a lot that he's a more humanoid build, enabling him to do numerous martial arts abilities that Thing cannot do.

Just let you know comic years 60 so year is equal to 5-10 years lolz

I thought Thing beat Hulk a couple times using his smarts?

Thing has fought top tiers as well including Hulk Hercules Namor Iron Man Thor Wonder Man and many more.

Hah, I know. 😛 I was simply countering golem's statement. I see you didn't tell him that. 😉

Namor>Thing. If this is fully hydrated Namor that is.

I thought Ben never had beaten Hulk, but I could be wrong.

That's just because Colossus is a better fighter/martial artist than Thing. He knows the correct way to throw a punch. 😬

😐

Colossus being a better fighter...

MARVEL disagrees with you. As do I.

The order of the ganuntlet isn't correct IMO it should go.

Cage <
Rhino <
Mr. Hyde <
Strong Guy <
Tiger Shark < Ben
Ares <
Colossus <
Wonder Man <
Namor =
Abomination =
Savage HULK >

Wonder Man should be after Namor

Ares and Tigershark after Strong Guy?❌

The only people is see Ben beating for a majority is Cage, Hyde, Rhino, Tigershark and Ares.

Hmm, Ares had a pretty good showing against Hercules, and Hercules curbstoped Wonder Man an issue before...
Seems to me that Ares> WonderMan...I don't want to believe it tho..

Oh and Ares beats Thing.

I put Ares so high up because of his fighting ability. Strong Guy was referred as Muscle Boy by Professor Hulk and one shotted, so he has had some low showings, and Rogue dealt with him as well.

I think my list is pretty accurate in terms of ability, strength, durability, and fighting skill.

1. Luke Cage

2. Mr. Hyde

3. Tiger Shark

4. Rhino

5. Strong Guy

6. Ares

7. Namor

8. Wonder Man

9. Colossus

10. Abomination

11. Savage Hulk

Strong Guy was called muscle boy because of his huge arms. Strong Guy was never one shotted by Hulk. Guido's confrontation with Rogue is something called PIS/CIS. Consistent showings should be counted rather than low ones.😬

As far as your list goes, im a bit confused. Ability, strength, durability, and fighting skill? It seems like strength is taken more into account with that list more than anything else. Whats ability?

1. Professor Hulk one shotted Guido and said to a few members of X-Factor that they just don't get it... "you and Muscle Boy can't stop me" or something to that effect.

2. Concerning Ability, strength, durability, and fighting skill, Namor could outfight Colossus but Peter is more durable, and stronger. Strong Guy has been consistently overloaded so he ranked lower than Ares who is just as strong as he is, but faster, and has thousands of years fighting experience on him.

The same thing goes for Wonder Man his flight speed durabilty and strength offsets the fact that he's really just a chump, and if he was only able to lift 80 tons i would put him at just above Mr. Hyde.

I really thought it through before I posted, and the only two that I would have switched would have been Tiger Shark for Rhino, but pins per pecentile gave Rhino a slight edge on him.

Performance my friend.
