Ben Grimm better known as The Thing

is the original quintessential tough-guy of the Marvel Universe.
But, because of his transformation, he's also the tragic member of the Fantastic Four.
Ben 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 which gives him a rather gruff disposition;
but deep down, he has a heart of gold.
