Spiderman vs The Thing

Im going with Thing to win as well. Dont think Spider-Man cant possibly beat Thing, but I do think Ben would beat Peter much more than not in the end.

I remember those. Especially the Morlun fight. He needed plot help iirc. Makes you wonder how good is his blunt force durability

tbf, he did comment that morlun hit harder than thor did..... and pete took a beating in that fight. black tarantula also put a beating on him during their initial tussle. pete has taken some savage beatings in comics, but he usually comes back pretty well. his own willpower is pretty beastly. often overlooked but i wouldn't put it too far from the top in the marvel hierarchy of will power.

If only there was a thread comparing how much heart Spidey had, vs Thing...

lol

😑 You usually dismiss that sort of thing as "PIS" and pretend it doesn't exist.

lol, harder. #humor

But yeah, Spidey could hurt him. He's done enough to prove that much, though it would take time to do lasting damage.

I enjoy the SM defenses here in this thread. I really do. So I have a question: Do you guys have an answer for Thing chaining thunderclaps? Even a single good one at melee range would knock Pete on his ass, at which point a solid shot or two would be enough to turn the tide for Thing. I don't have the scans myself, but I've seen Thing do it more than once. I'm happy to defect to Spidey in this thread if someone can reconcile that for me. It's a cheap tactic, but a viable one.

Jumping behind Thing.

There you go. Close range would be even easier for Spidey. T claps are pretty unidirectional.

Their depiction in comics tends to be much more AoE though, from what I've seen...like an omnidirectional shockwave instead of a directional attack. Professor Hulk all but KOd Spidey with one, and he was a pretty good Thing analogue. I understand Pete can play tag with melee attacks indefinitely, but the margin of error is MUCH slimmer when talking about indefinitely avoiding t-claps.

He only needs to shove his capsule full of sticky white liquid into Ben's mouth, then uppercut him. Causing it to explode all over him and in his mouth.

Ben, unable to handle all of it, would suffocate as it dribbles down his chin onto his chest.

Last t clap I saw was Cage against Victoria Hand. That was unidirectional. But I can see it being AoE.

Yup. It's bedtime.

I hope DS85 dies in his sticky bed sheets.

Remember that old TASM book in which it was stated that a single string of Parker's web can incapacitate the Thing?

"Bullshit", you can say, but the fact remains that Peter has dominated Ben in almost every encounter.

You and your sexy talk Stilts.......

Under Slott, yeah.

For a comparison, Jobber of the Century Wrecker was happy just to pull out a chunk of Thing's hide...

Spidey shouldn't be strong enough to hurt Thor (maybe sting him though) but he's definitely strong enough to damage IM and Thing. He has MA training which amplifies his striking power. Colossus is more durable than Thing (he's harder).

umm.....

If a human (with MA training) can strike through many layers on concrete slab (or through a brick) then someone who is more than 100x stronger should be able to bust through something 100x more durable.

If that's where you're getting your argument, you don't understand what you're talking about.

Anything else like Firestorm is PIS, why? BECAUSE I SAY SO 😠

this is why i think he needs a city setting to have a real chance here. imo pete would know the t-clap is thing's best bet so he'd play keep away. he could use webs from a distance to prevent constant t-claps then sneak in, land some haymakers, or just web-throw car after car at him wearing him down. it would be guerrilla warfare on pete's end, but i could see him netting some wins in that type of scenario, but it wouldn't be easy....

in a ring you're right, he has no real chance.

Jokes on you, Things rock-like heart is much larger than Spider-Mans.
