I'm not just talking about fighting experience. I'm saying, develop skills along the lines of Iron Fist, Daredevil, Taskmaster, etc.

Then, he wouldn't even need a power amp. He would just be plain old BAD.

Here is something I wrote.


Martial arts is not his nature...just expand on his boxing skills more

They'll be pitting Thing (on occasion) against:
-Ronan-level accusers
-Super Skrulls
-Imperial Guards

What would the most viable (and most "acceptable" for you as a fan) upgrade for Ben?

1) Enhance his Superhuman stats further: They make him upper-level Cl100 (above Rulk/Thor level) and make his stoney hide even more durable (make him "Surfer" durable).
2) Give him new powers to make him versatile: They make him "elemental" in nature. Able to be shattered and reassemble himself. To merge with soil/dirt for camouflage. To shift his form to form melee weapons from his hands. Able to turn himself into "dust particles" and use that form to fly and also as a way to beat opponents who breathe
3) Give him a powerful weapon. Let's say a cosmic blade that gives him flight and energy blast powers.


2 would probably be an uber upgrade for me.Minus the weapons and camou thing though.But the upgrade reminds me a bit of those earthmovers from Avatar.

Ben gets annihilated too beautifully to ever be upgraded into being credible.

He's a wonderful character as is. Getting the utter living shit beat out of him for the sake of his team-mates.

That would make choice 2 a bit more palatable as this would then allow him to get punched to powder and simply allow him to pick himself up after. stick out tongue

Well that's fine, so long as he only comes back together unconscious, for hours at a time.

We can't have Ben become too competent and dangerous. It just goes against his nature as the never say die, lovable punching bag.

and herculese got that same praise from daddy, however, they both got slurred speech soon after a few knocks upside the head.
