The Thing's skin is orange and stone-like in both costumes.

History[]

Ben Grimm was the college-years associate of Reed Richards and Victor von Doom, though he lacked their high level of sophistication and interest in science. He once jokingly promised that if Reed built a spaceship he would pilot it for him. Graduating from college, Ben joined the U.S. Air Force and became a skilled fighter pilot, test pilot, and astronaut. Taking Ben up on his promise, Reed made him the pilot of a spacecraft he created. Reed, his lover Sue Storm, and Sue's brother Johnny were also present as crew members. When the ship was hit with cosmic radiation in outer space, it crashed, though all four inhabitants survived and mutated into strange new super-powered forms. While Reed gained the power of elasticity, Sue gained the power of invisibility, and Johnny gained the powers of fire and flight, Ben transformed into an orange rock-giant and fell into a deep depression. Even as Reed worked to find a cure for his condition, Ben soon realized the benefits of his new form to combat evil as the Thing and as a member of the Fantastic Four as their heavy muscle. Ben would also pick up his catchphrase of: "IT'S CLOBBERING TIME!!"
