	Thing (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Thing (Benjamin Jacob "Ben" Grimm) is a fictional character in the Marvel Comics universe, a founding member of the superhero team The Fantastic Four.
		He is portrayed by Michael Bailey Smith (as Ben) and Carl Ciarfalio (as the Thing) in the former and Michael Chiklis (in both roles) in the latter, where general consensus holds his to be the most comic-accurate portrayal in the film.
		Thing is also the traditional host of a poker game held regularly that is open to most of the superhero community.

	Man-Thing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Man-Thing is a fictional comic book creature created by Roy Thomas and Gerry Conway, and featured in various Marvel Comics titles, the most prominent of which was written by Steve Gerber.
		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 who nevertheless often becomes an accidental hero as it stumbles upon various crime and horror scenarios.
		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.

		They were comics with a 45 record in the back that had the whole story acted out with sound effects and voices and stuff.
		These comics helped Rodionoff write his screenplay and determine which elements of the "Man-Thing" comics must be captured in his screenplay.
		Some comic fans might make the mistake of writing off "Man-Thing" as a two-bit version of "Swamp Thing." "In reality, 'Swamp Thing' and 'Man-Thing' were created by two friends who took their ideas to DC and Marvel respectively.

		It also connects to other comic book creators, who also have that need to be reassured, that need to be able to read modern comics that remind them of the comics they grew up with.
		He went to Image Comics, an avenue that was not so different than Marvel or DC except that it wasn't Marvel and DC, and it paid huge.

		Wein and Wrightson's "Swamp Thing" became a cult classic among comic fans because of its dark, moody Gothic style, but mainly on the strength of the artwork by Wrightson, whose style was perfectly suited for this comic.
		Historically "Swamp Thing" is an important comic book because it was the first horror comic to be geared towards a more adult oriented readership since the glory days of EC Comics with "Tales of the Crypt" in the 1950s.

	The religion of The Thing (Ben Grimm) of the Fantastic Four
		Many major comic book characters have died or apparently died only to be brought back to life later by various means (technological, magical, mystical, alien, etc., or simply by revealing that the character had not actually died after all).
		But comic book fans, we tend to take the integrity of our universe very seriously, and the fact that there was one story in 1974 or whenever that showed -- that indicated -- you know, "incontroversibly" (sic) that this is the case when, in fact, it doesn't really prove anything.
		Many of them have debated their beliefs in the comics - as you say, not the hardline way, but that is definitely not the same as saying that they are not Christian superheroes [or Jewish superheroes], or that they are not devoted.

	Comment: Après Le Déluge
		Comics is ten years behind all other media, and it's starting to show.
		I think it is going to be the biggest influence on comics' next generation, and that it is going to provide a huge influx of female artists and writers.
		As an industry, the best thing comics can do is recognise that the superhero archetype is just that, an idea that has some relevance, but it's a bit silly to expect that to define the entire medium of comics.

		In terms of getting their own series, Swamp Thing came first beginning in 1972, while Man-Thing got his due sometime in 1974 (the Man-Thing series was short lived, lasting all of about 22 issues while the Swamp Thing series continues to thrive in one form or another).
		Thompson, who played the greedy industrialist Schist, made a pretty good villain (didn't his corporate logo look kinda like a swastika?) Or at least I thought so until the scene where he and his son are sitting in their Hummer talking about the sheriff and how he's getting close to their secrets...Schist Jr.
		I have not read the comic, so I can't compare the movie to it, but compared to the original, campy 1970's 'Swamp Thing' with Adrienne Barbeau, 'Man Thing' can't hold itself up on his cheesy, trunk-like legs.

		In 1982, Swamp Thing was adapted into a movie — not exactly a record-smashing box-office bonanza, but DC deemed it a big enough deal to warrant reviving the comic book.

		What Alan Moore, Stephen Bissette, and John Totleben accomplished during their time on the comic book series Swamp Thing shouldn't be underestimated in the history of comics and, specifically, the history of horror comics.
		In this run of Swamp Thing installments we are still learning more about Swamp Thing's origins and abilities (as he is himself), and getting much closer to the Abby character, who is surely one of the most intriguing and bewitching women in comics history.
		At its original time of publishing it was a watershed moment in comics history and reading that chapter some 20 years later it still retains every bit of its artistic strength.

	In the Limelight: Your Take on Man-Thing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Being familiar with the comics helped so I knew who Man-Thing was and where he came from, but this part of the plot was very poorly developed in the film.
		Initially I was very upset with myself that I missed the beginning of the movie on the original airing day, so I figured what the heck, I'll watch what's left and catch the beginning of it later.
		Man-Thing, of the Marvel comics, was a great story, full of action, violence and always there was the underlying 'pain' and pathos of the man that became the Man-Thing.
