The Thing (Benjamin Grimm)
Ben Grimm - The Thing - was an ace test-pilot until exposure to intense cosmic radiation mutated him into a rock-skinned monster with immense superhuman strength. Ben's exterior is much harder than stone and he has a gruff disposition, but inside he has a heart of gold. He's currently a member of the Fantastic Four and a part-time associate with the Guardians of the Galaxy in both teams' efforts to either explore the deepest reaches of the unexplored cosmos or save the known parts from the forces of Thanos' Starfleet.
