"Ben Grimm may not be sleek and elegant, like the heroes over here, Mister. But he's one of the *finest men* I know..." - Steve Rogers/Captain America talking to Bruce Wayne/Batman
Man i remember the 90s Fantastic Four animation. No joke i remember Doctor Doom putting a device on Ben Grimm back, said this device holds "The weight of the world" and Ben did a Push Up and got back up and broke it even Doom was like "But How" ???
Ben "The Thing" Grimm was Marvel's strongest guy until they came out with the Hulk. Since the 60s, it was like a heavyweight fight to have those 2 go up against each other, but the Hulk always won, unless some outside force was interfering. As Marvel kept expanding their universe and adding heavy hitters, they kept increasing The Hulk's strength/feats to keep up, but Ben just stayed where he was in regards to his prowess. Maybe that is why he has such a rich and diverse character.
Many downplays the thing because they usually talk about his losses to hulk but many forget he's one of the few who would actually step up to him without a 2nd thought lol alone at that
Another thing I like about Ben is that he trains and actually gets stronger unlike most characters who just get free power ups. He actually weightlifts and fights to get stronger and it bothers me how most characters don’t do the same.
He is a real original because he is the first superhero who didn't even want his power. His immense strength might be highly desirable, but his physical appearance is equally undesirable. Later, it came out that he is almost immortal. Based on Jack Kirby's life and personality and hearkening back to when Marvel was putting out mostly monster comics, he is truly one of a kind.
Thing has the best durability feats in the marvel universe he tanked a blast from celestials And has knocked out the hulk multiple times But my favorite is colossus
Bro you can't be serious about the celestial thing.Its a huge fucking outlier.These guys are multiversal + at least while the Thing is solar system level if you wank him.There are literally two different sets of infinity as well as a different dimension between them Man this channel truly is full of wanking.
Wait WTF ? Is that actually a popular battle lol ??? Bro Thing so underrated but he can't bet Organe Piccolo not unless it maybe the 1980s 2nd form Thing that beat the shat outta Joe Fixit Hulk , even then that such a random weird battle who thought of that lol
He is one of the greatest characters in Fiction. And He has defeated a lot of heavy hitters. Hulk, Sub Mariner, Super adaptoid, Wrecker, Doctor Doom, Annihilus, Miracle Man, Executioner, Kree Sentries, and on and on... in his long comic book career.
I loved Ben as written by Claremont . Ben was an Ace Test Pilot and Astronaut .That means a degree in Aeronautical Engineering -a B.S at least.Ben wrote a Ben who was SMART .
I don't read comics heavily like that so I don't have too much of an in depth input, but the Fantastic four are slept on in this generation. This video was a good character analysis on the Thing especially since he's based on his creator Jack Kirby's personality.
Should do a vid covering how The Thing compares to well know Marvel Brutes. Almost like a gauntlet . . . But to display him. This also give his opponents some honest light. - Rhino - Luke Cage - She Hulk - Colossus - Abomination - Red Hulk
Thank you so much for this Ben Grimm/The Thing is my favorite member of the Fantastic Four. Being something of a rough around the edges outcast myself, I can relate with the guy. Ben's willpower and tenacity is matched only by a select few in his universe and in all of comics. Definitely an inspiration to me along with his rival, Bruce Banner/Hulk.
Remember those old cartoons of the Fantastic Four? And the time Fred Flintstone & Barney Rubble met the Thing? I think that the Thing being more of a comic relief adds more depth to his character, like he uses jokes & makes light of bad situations to help hide all the pain & grief he feels due to his appearance, but it's about what's inside that rocky exterior that truly counts when it comes to Ben Grimm.
I remember a feat that Johnny Storm did in one comic where he got so hot he defied gravity or something, And I don't mean just like flying around I mean like there was this man who could manipulate gravity and made it super heavy where Johnny Storm was, And Johnny Storm just became even hotter to counteract the gravity
This video is dope for putting some respect on Mr. Grimm's name. While other spotlighted names get buffs and their powers expanded, Ben hasn't been gifted because his overall is a problem for most plus his tenacity to fight till he can't stand no more is on par with Captain America. Has Ben ever gotten a power boost? Not surprised at all because as New Yorker you know there's a reason you don't won't problems with us people from Brooklyn. Most of us don't start shit but we do know how to end shit with no rebuttals. Brooklyn one love.
I also think Reed Richards' physical abilities are underrated as well. Take a look at this link if you want more info on Mister Fantastic. screamingdean.tripod.com/id1028.html
The Thing has always been my favorite cause he is genuinely good without being sanctimonious or pretentious about it. He is just a man, with flaws and hate and love, that you can rely on to always do what's right.
Ben Grimm will always be my favorite marvel character because of the marvel 2 in 1 I got on vacation as a child where he fights the Champion of the Universe. He’s not the strongest, but he never quits.
Thank you for this vid I always tried to tell me people how beast the thing is he my boy and I always rocked with him get it rocked with him? Lml he deff no joke tho
I ❤ Ben Grimm as a person who suffers from Psoriasis I can relate to him hes a inspiration for people like me im not perfect i got flaws but I wont let it destroy my life
The best part he is the only hero thus far to knock out the immortal hulk that is something thor,nor Hercules was able to do but through his will to continue he actually managed to knock out the devil hulk
It was written pretty badly but he did break his arm.Things(no pun intended) like willpower and desperation can make you put down beings far stronger than you.But that much?Kinda iffy
Recently Thing KO'd a mind controlled Hulk, one shotted him after taking a beating. Alicia told hom he could do it which gave him a second wind. Hit hulk so hard the rocks on his arms came off.
It ain’t the fact that the thing has rocks for knuckles that makes him so powerful it’s the fact THAT HES THE BIG BLUE JEWISH KID FROM YANCY STREET THATS RIGHT BABY BIG APPLE NEVER UNDERESTIMATE SOMEONE FROM NEW YORK BITCH!
thanks for the like man, i just finished baki and started watching kengan. both universes seem even in power i just wanted to know which you think is stronger.
The things strength grows overtime Ben is right there with hulk juggernaut Hercules he just holds back because he don't want people to get hurt or wreck buildings that tax payers have to pay for he is the average Joe he just wants to hangout with friends and family watch some wrestling have a beer
The comic with him knocking out silver surfer sounds like really bad writing tho; because we haven’t even seen the hulk bash silver surfer like that... And the hulk is clearly above the thing
honestly, not a big fan of the FF( i honestly think that they're the silliest thing to come out of marvel and suddenly gain popularity) but the thing got potential to be a pretty dope character if you take off the repetitive corny speeches he keeps giving. and jonny is more likeable coz he actually tries to stay relevant and develop character over time, instead of being the cheeky teenager he was in the begining.
Bens likeability sprouts from his indomitable will. Champion of the U said noone on earth can match Bens heart, and if they could it would be a perfect place
Captain America and the Thing have more tenasity then most modern characters

Is he in that multi solar system buster range?

Hope you watch my documentary i recently did on him!
Look up Yancy Street Broke My Heart
Respect the fantastic four
Man, when you say it like that, Ben Grimm is very closely tied to Captain America when it comes to courage and hope.
Best part about coming on this video was an Ad that says "Find your Thing"
😂
The Thing got guts to stand up against the Hulk
Thing has the best durability feats in the marvel universe he tanked a blast from celestials
And has knocked out the hulk multiple times
But my favorite is colossus
Best durability feats ehhhhhhhhhhh that's a long stretch
Hulk has better durability and healing, saying the thing has the best durability is a stretch

Gotta give my boy ben Grimm some love the thing
Running back the classics after the Thing vs Picolo vid! Peter Parker is still my fave but Thing is up there.

Good job describing the thing. He is far too often underrated and deserves more credit. He's always been my favorite superhero in all of comics!
5:50 explains the true source of Grimm's power. He is fueled by pure pettiness and bravery,--ya gotta love it lmao!
I loved Ben as written by Claremont . Ben was an Ace Test Pilot and Astronaut .That means a degree in Aeronautical Engineering -a B.S at least.Ben wrote a Ben who was SMART .

Fun fact: The Thing was also part of the Hanna Barbera cartoons. Which means he appeared in both Disney and Warner bros companies.
I've underestimated how strong marvel characters are my God I Never thought the thing was this powerful
Love Ben..he friendships, Pain and Inner Strength hold the whole team together,
I agree 💯 man. Awesome video. People crap on Ben so much, but are so unwarranted.

One does not simply go toe to toe with hilk on a regular basis.

It'd be Doctor Strange. Or Adam Warlock since he's now the Living Tribunal and massively multiversal. XD
Before the run of anti hero’s showed up in the 90s Ben was “the” goon.
I remember a feat that Johnny Storm did in one comic where he got so hot he defied gravity or something, And I don't mean just like flying around I mean like there was this man who could manipulate gravity and made it super heavy where Johnny Storm was, And Johnny Storm just became even hotter to counteract the gravity

Thing was always my goto for early comics. And I mean any story that included the Thing even for just a few moments
Well some can say he's willpower makes him the strongest in Marvel actually he's powers just symbolizes That Fact!!!
On a related note you should do human torch vs firestorm

I feel Like Krillin From DB and The Thing would get along really well. Id like to have drink with Ben. Solid Dude.
I have a question for you splash, with no bias cause i know both me and you love hulk, a bloodlusted hulk vs a full spirited thing?
Thing Oneshots
Splash with another banger
The Thing is by far one of the most underrated characters in fiction change my mind!
before i saw this video i thought the straw hat pirates wiped the FF i was wrong
Do a video on Conan The Barbarian.

Hell yeah

The Punisher
Captain America doesn’t give up or back down to know one either. Has better will
But the thing is my favorite fantastic four member
I'd agree
Put him in debate.

Yancy Street Gang 4 Life
The Thing!
I like captain America or wolverine
Well said. 😎
Human Torch vs Beni (Fire Force)
I love the thing I hate when ppl downplay him
Ben Grimm is Marvels Rovky Balboa
Thor is the best and in my opinion has as much if not greater determination, not to mention has way more power.
He definitely doesnt have more willpower.
Sir Splash then the thing?? I’m pretty sure Thor has some crazy willpower feats
Nobody has more willpower then Ben. Facts.
Thor or wolverine or punisher is my favorites
The Thing was and is my favorite Comics Hero just because dude dose not know how to take an L
The thing is cool but Luke Cage has the biggest spirit and will
Nah its Ben
Luke is dope af tho
The Ben Grimm could pick up Thor's Hammer
For me, Benjamin J Grimm is better than a great hero. He is a good man.
Wow he got nerfed hard probably for the best...K.O big G is kinda silly...
