      If you want to check out one of the best Hulk vs Thing battles ever (I call it the best) read Fantastic Four #112 released between ‘70-‘72. A few issues before Reed Richards was able through an experiment to give Ben the ability to change into Ben Grim at will, but it affected Ben psychologically, making him aggressive and irrational. As the Thing is on his way to the Baxter Building to confront Reed Richards, Bruce Banner, called by Reed to help him with a cure, sees Ben battling police in the park and the excitement causes him to change into the Hulk. That’s where the battle starts from.

      @awesometacular, yeah he can once a year. Thing’s control over his power has always been a psychological issue. Just like Johnny can flame on and off mentality and Sue can form shields that are as strong as her will power is, so is Thing’s ability. Only thing is Ben started out with a horrible perception of himself once they got transformed by the cosmic rays. It’s affected his self image perception ever since. Additionally,, Ben is so terrified of his monstrous nature that he restricts his strength, afraid that if he killed someone he’d truly be perceived as a monster in fact and not just appearance.

    Half way through this video it hit me I realized this comic is the plot of every boxing movie. The protagonist is having the time of his life when an enemy boxer comes through to fight him and prove who is stronger. Then when the boxer is getting clobbered (pun intended) his wife gives him the strength and second wind to fight on. Still a great story! It just became hilarious to me when I started looking at the comic through that lens.

      @Jesus Esquitel, yes Hulk wins every time because he’s grown that much stronger than Ben and everyone else for that matter. But anyone who’s been in a real fight knows that a skilled fighter can conceivably take down a much stronger and bigger fighter if you land the right shot. Which in comparison if Hulk were skilled as fighter as Ben he would have killed Ben with his first punch.

      @kingtok1515 Před 3 lety +5

      Funny you say that! Strength wise your are correct. However, in actual fighting skills and technique, Thing has the edge. Also depends on which incarnation of the Hulk we are talking about and which incarnation of the thing as well. In the late 80s early 90s oh, there was a form of the thing that easily pounded on the Hulk back when he was mr. Fix it. Doctor Doom actually had to come and save the Hulk. Even with that being said the Hulk still found a way to defeat him after he got rested up. And even though Doctor Doom helped I still give that win to the Hulk even though the thing probably would have really hurt him if not for the interference of Doctor Doom. And in this instance, even though Hulk was being controlled by Puppet Master physically he's still stronger than the thing. But the thing reaches deep down and got the win regardless! Either way a win is a win and a loss is a loss.

The entire Spiderverse concept was just lackluster under him, and the movie proved that a better writer could have taken it so much further. Hell, his OC Silk was only ever good when she wasn’t written by him. And don’t even talk about his run on Iron Man. That was just plain awful.

    The thing is these mind control storylines shouldn't count when it's like Superman vs Wonder Woman or this one. The reason is technically Hulk wasn't the Hulk during this fight. Also, the Puppet master's own rage shouldn't be able to enrage the Hulk to get him stronger. It's like when Loki took control over the Hulk but Loki's rage doesn't fuel Hulk when fighting his brother. The way I see it is Ben didn't beat the Hulk. He beat the Puppetmaster.

    The Hulk didn't resist being mind controlled because he loves fighting the Thing anyway. He was not a weakened version of himself because it was said that he had the Puppet master's rage plus his own. The reason Hulk got knocked out is that he ran face first into the Thing's strongest punch, adding the force of his own charge to the impact and breaking the Thing's arm. Hulk is stronger, but the Thing is no lightweight. Hulk has unlimited strength but the Thing has unlimited heart.
