	Swamp Thing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the autopsy, Woodrue discovered that the Swamp Thing's physiology was only superficially human, its organs little more than crude, nonfunctional, vegetable-based imitations of their human counterparts, and that there was no way that the Swamp Thing's body could have been derived from a human corpse.
		Due to the close premieres of each comic, it is unlikely that either comic was directly derivative of the other - although in an interview Gerber noted that Wein and Man-Thing creator Gerry Conway were roommates, and had simultaneously came up with similar characters by coincidence.
		He did in fact have Swamp Thing meet Jesus in issue 88 (proving that it was Veitch's depiction of Christ, rather than the event of Him appearing that caused the censorship).

	Man-Thing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unlike the intelligent and plant-based Swamp Thing of DC Comics, the Man-Thing is a nearly mindless mass of slime with no particular affinity to any living thing, but nevertheless it often becomes an accidental hero as it stumbles upon various crime and horror scenarios.
		One important detail that was not altered, however, was that the Man-Thing's former identity was still Ted Sallis, though in the film he is portrayed as a Native American shaman instead of a scientist.
		The Man-Thing has often been erroneously described as Marvel's attempt to imitate the similar and more famous DC Comics character Swamp Thing, but this is unlikely given that both debuted within a few months of one another.

		Of the 20-odd members he is the only man. The group has input into the local primary car trust's health strategy, pushing onto the agenda the need for men to be made more aware of osteoporosis.

		In extreme pain, he was later told a vertebrae in his back had collapsed.

	Man Thing film movie trailer review at The Z Review
		Man Thing is a Marvel comic book character that is being developed by Artisan Entertainment as part of the deal between Artisan and Marvel to develop a large number of Marvel properties.

	Man-Thing: Price of Humanity #4
		The last thing I expect at this point is for all of it to disappear, not even going back to its original appearance, but to a limbo of nothingness.
		The last thing I expected was for some wrinkled old hand to grab my shirt collar and hold me still in the wind with an unexpected strength.
		We've come to the Core." She reveals to me, which is surprising, because honestly I don't see a thing besides the red-black space and the writing...until she points, speaking harder.

		He also said that Man Thing won't be an origin story so if they don't give the origin away, there is always the possibility of Ted Sallis actually being the "movie" Man Thing, which could be explained in a sequel maybe....
		I just want them to show the tragic side to him and the curious, child-like nature of Man-Thing.
		A wise man once told me you do not have to be faster then the bear, you just need to be faster then the slowest guy running from the bear.

		MJ looks at Spider Man. It is impossible to read his expression through the mask from her perspective (though by clever lighting we will be able to see the uncertainty in his eyes).
		She is introduced as a local high-school girl who actually met and talked to the Spider Man. She has come forward, she says, because she is outraged by the beating he is taking in the media.
		Spider Man saved her, she says, and he is a kind, gentle man.

	OAFE - ML8: Man-Thing review
		Swamp Thing is basically a superhero with leaves; Man-Thing has the potential to be a great old-school movie monster, the kind that doesn't get all chatty during the final reel.
		While Swamp Thing can talk (and often does, at length) and therefore more easily support adaptations in other media such as tv and films, Man-Thing has always relied on narration to keep us apprised of what it is he's going through.
		Swamp Thing thinks and acts like a man, while Man-Thing really is a shambling lump of goo.

	It's a Man Thing (True 4th)
		All I was thinking was the fact that this thing was probably put together by a political prisoner in a hellhole somewhere who is probably gonna get 'executed' so they can sell his internal organs on the transplant market.
		These things are 48 inches tall and are mounted on a 1/2-inch wooden dowel.

	NEWSARAMA - MAN-THING BEGINS FILMING IN AUSTRALIA
		Swamp Thing: October/November '72 Swamp Thing #1.) It could be argued that ST began in the June/July '71 House of Secrets #92 as an unnamed man who becam an unknown muck monster, but it still makes Manny first.
		Man-Thing debuted three months before Swamp Thing in May of 1971, and after its very highly regarded Wein & Wrightson run, the book didn't have anything nearly as pithy as the tight Steve Gerber scripts that dealt with everyone but the moss monster, at a time when Swamp Thing was fighting mean moonshiners.
		I don't care how bad the swamp thing movies were.

		The comic wasn't too bad in the 70's but Man Thing is more of a character that does guest appearances from time to time in other superheroe's comics.

		Swamp Thing is cooler and had a much better writer, but the Man Thing always seemed more powerful.
		Swamp Thing calmly stares at Man-Thing, and the mindless being feels peace and a unity with all of Creation for the first time in its existence.
		Placing a dimensional doorway in the heart of the swamp, and compelling Man-Thing to guard it, we've left Swamp thing with only one means of exit from the Arena.

	'Four' in fantastic DVD; 'Man-Thing' just muck - Entertainment - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper
		One great episode, "Nightmare in Green," pits the Hulk against the Thing, a pairing that always has been a comic fan's dream matchup, as the green goliath gets manipulated by a Dr. Doom who looks exactly like Jack Kirby's designs.
		The entire season also was quagmired in a sloppy 1970s animation style (I expected HERBIE the Robot to make an appearance), ludicrous dialogue from villains such as the Mole Man and Dr. Doom, and the embarrassment of having Johnny Storm perform a rap song.
		Bonuses to the set include an eight-minute discussion with Stan Lee, co-creator of the Fantastic Four, about the origin of the team, and his introductions to each episode — which are not such a bonus, as his words give away more plot points than insight into the stories.

	Man-Thing (2005)
		Either way, for a B movie, it was a very competent display of half man, half plant beast, something that could have easily become ridiculous, especially since I doubt the FX team had a large budget to work with.
		Still, I believe we get to see a bit too much of the Man Thing, the more footage there is on the creature the less impact it usually manages to create on the viewer.
		The Man-thing is your average monster movie, which is likely to appeal to the die hard fans of the genre, leaving all others wondering just what was the point of making it in the first place.

		Now, with Man-Thing, we have a walking pile of swamp gas, leaves, moss, and branches.
		The one thing any good horror creature feature needs is a monster that has the ability to evoke terror from its audience.
		The entire thing is laughable, and that's probably why the full reveal is held off until the final half hour.

	Sunday Slugfest — Man-Thing #1 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		It's Alan Moore's run on Swamp Thing, and things look decidedly slippy in this issue as it seems Man-Thing is causing some swamp-style-weeds to invade and age a load of machinery - very Swamp Thing does Gotham of a few years ago.
		We’re introduced to our main characters, (Mehr and Frederic Schist, owner of the construction firm), a crisis is introduced, (weird things and unexplained deaths), and there’s a rise in action, (the guards horrifying and mysterious death).
		Anyway, this 3 issue mini series is set before the upcoming movie (going straight to DVD) and introduces us to an insurance man who has come to validate a claim from a nasty piece of work whose building site is under attack from “terrorists”.
