Toughest, yeah, but not the strongest. He's got heart, even when he knows he's outmatched and gonna get his ass kicked he fights anyway. The Contest of Champions story from the 80s did a good job of showing his spunky spirit.
@@williammansfield9711 Thing is more or less on the level of Colossus and he was seen in a panel being stretchered out with his face caved in, luckily in metal form. Colossus was still pretty much a pacifist at that point but he's just as tough as Thing now too. 2nd tier strong guys don't get the same respect as the Hulk and Thor level characters.
Love this character immensely. My favorite F4 member. Been a fan since the 1967 cartoon. Speaking of his height and weight, many artists have drawn him being much taller and heavier. As for his strength, he can actually lift more than 100 tons now.
Gotta love Ben Grimm, easily one of the best heroes in the world. He could've let his anger and grief get to him but he's become one of the greatest heroes in the Marvel universe to the point that people haven't thought of him as a monster like they do of the Hulk despite his much more monstrous appearance.
85 tons was from the 80's, he continually absorbs cosmic radiation, on top of working about. While not as strong as the Hulk he certaintly can clear 100 tons by now.
Iconic. No other way to describe Benjamin J Grimm aka The Thing. His Kryptonite though, are the Yancy Street Gang. The Thing v Hulk clashes are legendary.
1st let me say. This is what life should be all about. Just talking about comics all day long. 2nd another enjoyable Sage video. Thing has always been one of my all time favorite characters. ✌🏼
GALACTUS, DR DOOM, SUBMARINER, even T,CHALLA, they all put respect on Ben Grimms name. They know that he just keeps getting back up to protect his family
I note that once the hulk tolded Ben. "No how hard I hit you you always got back up and fought on.I have even recall the thing going up against Dr Doom.And doom was throwing everything he had.But the thing kept coming.
They don't write the heavy hitters like they used to. I remember when juggernaut used to be a problem same for Galactus but Ever loving blue eyed Aunt Petunia baby boy Used to get busy back in the day. YANCY STREET 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
The ever-lovin', blue-eyed boy from Yancy Street! I love the entire FF, but Ben is #1! I hate when people call him weak because Hulk is stronger. Ben can last against him a good while! 'Nuff said!
THIS IS BENEFICIAL TO THOSE WHO DON'T REALLY KNOW BEN AND NEED TO ALSO REMEMBER THE THING IS MARVEL COMICS ORIGINAL POWERHOUSE AND HE DESERVES HIS PROPS 💯
I give Ben Grim an 8. I’ll check back after to see if our minds are on the same path. Edit: I was close but I see why you would give him a 9. Great vid sage.
A VARIANT OF (The THING) I IMAGINE COULD EXIST, HIS FUTURE WIFE & MORE: I imagine in a different realm, a variant of (Ben Grimm) his hero-title is Mr.Thing, and I imagine he has a few extra abilities. For starters one of his extra abilities; Is the ability to transform his rock body back to human, but this ability doesn’t develop until six years later. In addition I imagine another one of his extra abilities, is the ability to learn to do magic, I imagine after mastering learning to do magic, he then casted a spell on himself. And that magic spell gives him the power to regenerate, so that way his body doesn’t age at a normal pace anymore. Now I imagine ten years later (Ben Grimm) aka Mr.Thing, he meets his fourth love interest, and I imagine she is a Alpha Level mutant. Her full name is (Monet St. Croix) & her mutant title is M, I imagine she has an extra mutant ability, and it gives her the ability to have super strength that lasts for eight hours. I also imagine she has a second extra ability, and it’s the power to slow down her body’s natural aging process willingly. Now I imagine BEN dates MONET, for a number of months, before he had decided to propose to her, and I imagine a year later they got married. To add I imagine nine months later they have their first child, that’s a baby boy, and I imagine his name is (Ben Mathews Grimm Jr.). Plus to add I imagine he begins developing his abilities at age:4, and his abilities don’t finish developing until age:30.
Since you're doing history of members of the Fantastic Four, Are you going to do history of Johnny Storm the Human Torch, Mr Fantastic and the Invisible Women?
Love this video. However, I personally would give Ben a rating of 10 because to me his a legend among legends. As for his strength, while not on par with Wonder Man, Hulk, Thor, Hercules, Sentry, Blue Marvel, Beta Ray Bill, Gladiator, and Sentry, Ben Grimm is still regarded as one of the strongest men and beings on Earth in the Marvel Comics franchise.
Why do I feel like Ben could revert back to his normal form anytime he wants if he just went to Jean Gray or Professor X to see and remove a mental block. But the writers don't want Ben to be great 😭
Third favorite Marvel hero of all time. Cap is first, and he just barely loses to Iron Man. I enjoy him all the time. The version of him in FF, WGH cartoon is probably the best I've seen of him. You should watch a few episodes.
I’ve run into this at the right time since the Mcu fanatic four has been announced I’ve noticed an uptick of Thing slander. This video should remind people to put some respect on Ben’s name
What do you think is the best thing about Ben Grimm the Thing in the comics and in any other media? Which one of his powers and abilities do you think is the best and do you think he should get a better Superhero name?
@@NewSage Benn Grimm is by far one of the most underappreciated Heroes of all time. He was the first to beat the Hulk not because he was stronger but because he had bigger heart even at his own expense.
It totally feels like this is one that New Sage did back when he first started!! But memory serves me wrong and he clearly didn't. It's just totally seems like one of those doesn't it?
Ben Grimm, the so-called Thing, will appear in the MCU movies as far more grotesque than he's ever been portrayed before. Misshapen, asymmetrical, oozing between his rocks, and even disgusting mutated maggots crawling out from between his rocks.
Being able to go toe to toe with Hulk for so many different occasions is insane, his durability is on another level
Hi
Facts!!!
💯 Facts!!! 😎👊🏽
More like survive the hulk, like how Spiderman survived and trapped the juggernaut. Mental block is interesting for thing I admit.
😅👍🏽 Great minds think al...
The Thing skin might be made out of some type of rock but his heart is made out of gold, fantastic character
He’s also a good partner and husband to Alicia which is why he is my favorite FF member
Actually his heart is soft like a plushie
@@stiglapoint5672 He create superhero themes in the future because he living a long time.
Say that again.
Toughest, yeah, but not the strongest. He's got heart, even when he knows he's outmatched and gonna get his ass kicked he fights anyway. The Contest of Champions story from the 80s did a good job of showing his spunky spirit.
Yeah. He literally said to his opponents:
You lose, cupcake!
One of the greatest one shot comics ever.

@Damien Momed people just are ignorant tbh
What comic number do you know ?

did you ever read any of the comics with Unlimited Class Wrestling and The Power Broker? Good stuff.
@@warface4881 No I didn't. Thanks for recommendation.
Most underrated powerhouse, and the most likeable character.
Great coverage on my boy, Ben.
Aw shit it’s clobbering time this guy is a classic ! He definitely deserves the rating you have given him.
The Thing, a classic and honest hero that one could ever ask for!
Gotta love Ben Grimm, easily one of the best heroes in the world. He could've let his anger and grief get to him but he's become one of the greatest heroes in the Marvel universe to the point that people haven't thought of him as a monster like they do of the Hulk despite his much more monstrous appearance.
He Taking Hero work ind to the future and making a better tomorrow for mankind.
Yes but he is jus a rock it’s not like he’s gross just alien
85 tons was from the 80's, he continually absorbs cosmic radiation, on top of working about. While not as strong as the Hulk he certaintly can clear 100 tons by now.
Not only did he go toe to toe, he knocked out Hulk on the same day he was reverting to his human form
Sadly that was only one time
That was a mind controlled Hulk,still tho props to Ben.
@@David_Scar wouldnt the Hulk be mindcontrolled into feeling 1 particular emotion? Rage?
Thing's fight with the Champion secured him as one of my most favorite marvel characters.
Next to Spider-Man, Ben is my favorite hero in the Marvel universe. Everything that defines what an ideal superhero should be, lives in Ben Grimm.
FACTS
Thanks for going all the way deep to his origin story and where he actually came from in the Comics
The Thing is an original old G. Gotta love the boy from Yonkers
He's married to Alicia Masters, and has two adopted kids. A boy who is Kree, and a girl who is Skrull.
The 85 ton base state is no longer accurate. That rating was from back in 1982. He's well over 100 tons and has been for quite a while.
CORRECT......VERY MUCH SO
Strong and experienced character
Iconic. No other way to describe Benjamin J Grimm aka The Thing. His Kryptonite though, are the Yancy Street Gang. The Thing v Hulk clashes are legendary.
1st let me say. This is what life should be all about. Just talking about comics all day long.
2nd another enjoyable Sage video. Thing has always been one of my all time favorite characters. ✌🏼
Love Thing. Sometimes I think he doesn't get enough love.
The Thing is my favorite Fantastic Four member as well as the coolest and most relatable!
My favorite superhero. Thanks for doing this video man, Ben Grimm is so underrated
You came through Sage! I've been waiting for this one for LONG time. Thank you 👏👏👏🤝
GALACTUS, DR DOOM, SUBMARINER, even T,CHALLA, they all put respect on Ben Grimms name.
They know that he just keeps getting back up to protect his family
Mrs. Grimm's 'ol blue eyes.
The King of Clobberin'.
The Thing is really modeled after Jack Kirby
Marvel’s first family 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I note that once the hulk tolded Ben.
"No how hard I hit you you always got back up and fought on.I have even recall the thing going up against Dr Doom.And doom was throwing everything he had.But the thing kept coming.
Finally my dude gets his respect. Thank you for this video. Big Ben is my favorite!
5:14 I just had to google the Infinity Thing
I've always enjoyed seeing the thing in action especially fighting the hulk
Excellent video about one of my all time Marvel favourites.
Bro I'm glad you made the distinction between mutate and mutant. Some don't realize this of the Fantastic 4.
Thank you could do a video or The Kite-Man please? He's my favorite underrated Bat-Rogue who need some attention.
Kiteman was fucking brilliant in the Harley Quinn animated show. . .
Things cool he has a deep history in comics 👍
They don't write the heavy hitters like they used to. I remember when juggernaut used to be a problem same for Galactus but Ever loving blue eyed Aunt Petunia baby boy Used to get busy back in the day.
YANCY STREET 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I like how his fighting style is collegiate wrestling and boxing
It’s Clobbering Time 🗿
Who is DCs „Empty Hand“ ? The End of the Omniverse
I believe he is a Golden Gloves boxing 🥊 champion too
Strength of 100 tons now.
The ever-lovin', blue-eyed boy from Yancy Street!
I love the entire FF, but Ben is #1!
I hate when people call him weak because Hulk is stronger. Ben can last against him a good while!
'Nuff said!
Aunt Petunia's favorite nephew, bashful Benjamin J Grimm, the idol of millions, has always been my favorite comics char.
One of the FF finally gets his own video, awesome !!! 🙌
at 3:03 right panel, who is that art done by? The Thing one my all-time favorites, top 10 for sure.
Glad I went back to double check I didn't miss anything. I love these videos. Please don't turn out to be a terrible person.
Wow I didn't know all that about Ben. Thanks for this one. Well needed.
Good job
THIS IS BENEFICIAL TO THOSE WHO DON'T REALLY KNOW BEN AND NEED TO ALSO REMEMBER THE THING IS MARVEL COMICS ORIGINAL POWERHOUSE AND HE DESERVES HIS PROPS 💯
No lie

It's clobberin' time! 👊👊
Since you did the comic book origin of Marvel's Gorr the God Butcher, Can you do comic book origin of Marvel's Mangog?
Ben’s godda be my fave Marvel character ever! Colossus and Silver surfer 2nd and 3rd respectively 👊🏻
talk about a rock solid guy.👍😎👍

How have the Hulk, the Thing, and Wolverine not gotten into a brawl (and then all gone out boozing together)?
The three of them have actually fought at the same time,Ben and Logan teamed up against the Hulk. But Hulk whooped their asses and left.
The loveable blue eyed thing its clobbering time one of the greatest marvel characters of all time 💯
Please do either Sung jin woo from solo leveling or Mori jin from the god of high school

Ben Grimm is such a fan favourite like he is the big guy and heart of the Fantastic Four.
Can you do comic book origin of DC's Despero?
Good job on this one
He's my favorite!!!
New sage make a video about dc comics razer
You should cover the Ultimate version of the thing! Where he reverts back to his human form and retains all his powers!
Duly noted. 🤓👍🏽
Why do I feel like Ben could revert back to his normal form anytime he wants if he just went to Jean Gray or Professor X to see and remove a mental block. But the writers don't want Ben to be great 😭
Actually he can but his stress creates a mental block

My top two favorite character.
He pretty good with cards too
Along with captain America, every hero in the marvel universe loves or respects him :)
I’ve run into this at the right time since the Mcu fanatic four has been announced I’ve noticed an uptick of Thing slander. This video should remind people to put some respect on Ben’s name
Appreciate you sir
As much as I wish there was, there is no "collegiate" Jiu-Jitsu, only wrestling.😉 Other than that, great video.👍🏾
Ah yes hulks friend and "rival"
Heck Yeah!
And he's rock all over sad
Does he have things put inside him to chill out?"
Hey Yo see the Singting deh soh (See the Thing/Ting there so)!

GIVE HIM THAT CYTTORAK DIAMOND SKIN .........
Could you do cloak and dagger? If you haven't already
Thing is fuckin dope. I already liked him but this made me like him more
