The Thing | Comics

Born and grown up on a troubled family of Manhattan's lower East Side or more specifically on the neighborhood of Yancy Street, Benjamin Jacob Grimm struggled his way to high school. He played football as the "Grimm Reaper" for the State University of New York and befriended brilliant science student Reed Richards who was eager to build a starship for space travel and Grimm promised to pilot Reed’s ship if he can do so.

He joined the U.S. Air Force and returned as a test pilot who eventually flies the ship that Reed built to space along with their friend Susan and her brother Johnny Storm. But as they encountered a storm of cosmic radiation in space, the ship was unable to shield them from its effect and they immediately returned home aborting the mission.

The cosmic radiation altered all of their DNA to cellular level, giving them superpowers and causing change. Grimm had turned into an orange-colored, rock-skinned super-strong being who is dubbed as “The Thing”. Together they decided to help humanity with their new-found gifts and formed the Fantastic Four. Not only he was a part of saving Earth from Galactus but he is often the key to their victory.

Grimm dates a blind sculptress Alicia Masters and also has history of fighting the Hulk, Silver Surfer and Wolverine. He was drafted to Secret Wars, even was killed by Dr. Doom and later brought back to life by his friends (Hereafter). He became one of the worthies of The Serpent who battled Thor as well as the Red Hulk (Avengers – Fear Itself).
