The worst thing to happen to the Thing was that he was trapped in ice in Antarctica for 100,000 years until he was discovered by a group of Norwegians
that the wrong thing!🤔🤔
My buddy had some electrical problems in the dash of his Thing. The worst part was the Volkswagen dealer didn't have the parts he needed...
@@TheDing1701 Clearly fake. There's not enough electrical in that car to cause problems.
@@MyRegardsToTheDodo Haha! Well, of course. It's a joke, not a testimonial!
Wrong thing
Top 1 worst thing to ever have happened to Bem Grimm:
Being friends with Reed Richards
Why ? What's Wrong Being Friends With Reed Richards
you end up with giant responsibility or giant responsibility with a disgusting mutation
@@LeooooLastname
Sounds About Right
#1: Being born
Yup. No disagreement from me.
SPOILER: I like the story where he saves a girl from being mugged, has a relationship with her, wants to marry her, she gets kidnapped by the dude that changes his form to whatever he touches, and then its revealed she hired him to take a piece of Thing's armor to manufacture with her company. She never loved Thing and stated "how could anyone love something like you". He was so heart broken he literally ripped a chunk of himself off and gave it to her.
And I thought Spider-Man had it bad.
I can take comic fights and deaths. But emotional hits are too much.
He should have ripped a chunk of her off instead.
What issue was that?
So Titania and Absorbing man.
My question in response to that villainess is who could love a true monster like her?
jesus, someone give this poor man the power to transform into human and the thing whenever he wants already lol
There was a time when he could do just that, and he refused to do so because he though Alicia would dump him.
Likely something would happen that would cause him to lose that power and stay as the thing
Thing ring do your thing!
Doom DID do that, just to prove he was better than Richards. He then revoked it because he is Doom.
He did get the ability to do so thanks to a watch during the spiderman animated series equivalent of secret wars.
He unfortunately lost the item in question once the challenge was comple and things were reset back to normal.
I always find it morbidly funny how when a hero kills a villain, they are jailed in the same place as the villains they put away, not only that but then when a villain destroys whole cities, kills hundreds of people or harms the hero's lives, the villain is almost never permanently put away but instead is basically put under a similar jail area, that doesn't ever seem to work at either changing their minds or helping to make the villain rethink their idea's...kinda sounds like our own world where the justice system never really works except for the .01%.
That's fair..
Yup. Because why bother reforming criminals when it's so much more satisfying to treat them worse then zoo animals? Sure it's way more expensive, way less effective, a massive detriment to society, and does nothing but spread human suffering, but here in the USA we're all about making sure people get what they deserve!*
*Unless they're rich, of course. Because money is the same thing as virtue, so having a lot of it must make you a saint.
That is exactly how the justice system is both in commics and in reality.
Good people are punished severely and bad people are hardly punished at all
Well, sometimes. Cops are wrongly prosecuted as guilty and get sent to prison. This is pretty normal.
Life just truly sucks.

This is why I love The Thing. He's actively transforming into a human pineapple, and yet the first thought upon hearing someone in need is: "Can't think about *myself* right now."
He may not be all too bright or nuanced, but he's wise and down-to-earth in a way that ironically makes him the most human member of the Fantastic Four.
Well he was a NASA rocket pilot. No dim bulb there.
@@michaell6807 too many people think being smart and being strong can only be separate. Thing wasn’t on Mr. Fantastic or Dr. Doom’s level of intelligence but Thing was very bright.
Human torch? Frick off, it's all about that human pineapple now
Ah, Aunt Petunia is fine. Pretty sure Doom undid just about everything his former master did purely out of spite for him. And, you know...for turning his blood into lead and feeding him to a megaladon.
I'm sorry, WHAT?
@@SilverByakuya What? The part where he turned Doom's blood into led or opened a time portal and fed him to a megalodon?
@@Bluesit32 Uhhh both.
@@SilverByakuya It's fine. Doom was actually standing there watching the Marquis of Death fight his past self. So he got the last laugh, even if he had to stand there and watch his own defeat to do it.
@@Bluesit32 the fact that Doom had to time travel the hard way after that just shows how badass Doom is.
Re ... Spiky Thing. This was not without its upsides. He actually got quite a bit stronger, and eventually, Sharon decided she liked being a Thing.
That's actually very sad to me. She had to conform...
@@gustavolourenco5709 I mean it’s either that our always hating yourself for being a Thing.
@@gustavolourenco5709 To put a more positive spin on it, she learnt to love herself. Regardless of appearance.
@@gustavolourenco5709 in her case, to conform meant to live
Johnny Storm broke the bro code. Shape shifter or not, how could you stab your boy in the back like that?
About as bad as a few years ago when Johnny briefly dated Medusa, aka his ex-girlfriend Crystal's sister.
This only serves to prove that Johnny Storm has SERIOUS Dating and 'Bro Code' Issues!
@@Xone9 he also had a crush on psylocke. Who wouldn't
Facts... the one chance he had at love in his life and he had to try to take that from him? That was well deserved karma.
@@Leeloo_the_foxNo, Alicia Masters was the skrull in that moment.
If Johnny was a skrull, it was much later after that.
I guess he truly deserves his surname "Grimm"....
He doesn't get a break
Imagine going to jail for killing a fucking super villain.
Legit sounds like something that'd happen irl 😂
has happened in credible cases of self defense.
the state aint your friend.
Didn't Aunt Petunia appear alive at the Thing and Alice's wedding? I guess she was resurrected when the multiverse was reset.
That's what I thought
Isn't she from hp
Aunt Petunia is still alive. Check out some of Dan Slott's recent stories.
He can take it.
Ronald Marcano
True he can't take it but the question is does he want to and the answer is no
Ligma😳
@@maybeamar7341 what dafuq's ligma?
what do you mean by that🤔
I'm guessing they don't even let you do your "one per list", anymore. But, I love your messages at the end.
I think the joke just got old. It was funny the first few times but after so many times it just came off as forced and a bit cringey.
#8 … Didn’t Johnny know the rule “bros before hoes?”
The Ever Lovin' Blue-Eyed Thing can't ever seem to catch a break, can he?
Nope.
Unfortunately characters with angst issues like the Thing, Spider-man and Cyclops are never allowed to ever move past those things. Any writer that does progress them past that will see their efforts wasted as the latest writer after them reverts them back to what they consider his 'proper' version. So some writer will always come along and go 'oh this won't do, Thing's supposed to be miserable because he can't be human or happy.'
Out live his friends and family and only die after around 4000 years in the future.
It still amaze me how they never gave him the power to change his form as will even with all the multiversal,reality warping beings🤦🏾♂️
I'm pretty sure that in the Ultimate universe he gets that in a way, it was revealed that his "Thing" form was a sort of cacoon state and then when he finally bursted from it, he was resembled his human appearance before the accident but he was purple and emanating energy and more powerful(he was basically that universes version of Wonder Man) and he could change back and forth between the two forms depending on the situation (Thing form for defense and Purple form for power)
I like how the thing looks in older comics because of the lack of most lines and cracks that make him look like a walking wall he legitimately looks like a person who’s covered in lumps and is swollen
I never understood how Reed couldn’t cure him.
It was because a part of him liked to be the Thing and blocked the transformations.
I was never much into the Fantastic 4 as far as collecting or reading the comics regularly. I was, of course, aware of them (how could a Marvel Comics reader not be) through crossovers. From doing so, I always wondered why Thing wore a helmet for a time. Now, I know...
It's always cool when Jules leaves a message at the end of the video. Really makes you appreciate life
The thing is easily the best out of the four. Personal opinion
I agree I really hope a movie does him justice one day
I don't think that's opinion. That's a fact!
Agreed.
Thing has to be one of the saddest stories but his personality makes me happy
Wait Johnny really tried to steal bens girl? Wow what a bastard.
That’s like taking your friend who has a severe disability’s girlfriend. You could’ve had any other woman, but you chose the ONE person who he loved. Thankfully it wasn’t the real Alicia, but I’d never be able to forgive a friend or family member for doing that to me.
@James Hilton
I couldn't believe that. Doesn't that make Johnny an asshole?
AND HE NAMED HIS “BEST FRIEND” THE THING
That Aunt Petunia death was as low as ya ken go!! I didn't know that and it made me do a double-take! good vid. \m/
Before even playing the video...I need to see the end of Secret Wars when he gets dumped for Johnny Storm. Reading that as a kid depressed the hell out of me. That's my number one.
There was a storyline where The Thing died and Reed built a *portal to the afterlife* to drag him back despite his wishes to stay in paradise where he was free of his deformed body. The kicker was the bit where they met “God” before returning to Earth, who turned out to be the artist.
Actually, God was Jack Kirby.
Marvel really loves auntie characters😆😂
Damn they really put him threw the ringer jeez
Can’t wait to see his arc in the MCU
Same lol, especially the the scar part, or the fantastic four being accused just like the avengers once were.
@@playera1641 accused of what
I am not normally one to turn away from something, just because it's depressing, but I just got past 3 and I don't want to see any more sad things The Thing has gone through. Three was enough.
It definitely continued to get worse...
I can't stop listening to the opening music of David Lynch's Dune in the background every time he's not talking
i actually liked spikey Thing and think Marvel should've kept that look. TBH, Grimm needed a bit of a power boost.
the thing is always having such a hard time. need more stories where he has a good time.
Him going spiky wasn't bad at all in my opinion and finally made him a REAL heavy hitter. Always felt he got shafted by being turned into a LITERAL monster and still have his but handed to him by the hulk who was for all intents just a green oversized human. (An incredibly strong one, but still human)
Let's not forget.."Secret Wars" was Marvel's chance to remove the FF from the books for a couple years...since they wanted the movie rights from Fox. So to me, they were being petty....but the FF a good "For now" send off.
Yeah, that Aunt Petunia thing? He really should not say that and give his enemies ideas.
Jules ending messages are super uplifting and I love it. Thank you for the sincerity and care you give us, I can say that I appreciate it
Always enjoy the words of encouragement Jules passing along at the end of his videos.
Damn, I really thought you'd mention how Dr. Doom cured him but then turned him back
Marvel trying not to put all their hero’s through the worst trauma you can ever think of challenge: impossible
You could do a countdown like this for any big name hero or villain and I personally would love to see you do more of them.
Explaining some of these plots really makes comics sound stupid lol
They all can't be winners :-)
Heh, you know who else can defeat you.
MY AUNT!
I can say I was aware of most of things on the list but the best part of this video was the positive message you gave at the end.
The worst thing that ever happened to 'the thing' is being named "The Thing."
Would calling him orange rock man be better?
@@hydrolitobasically anything is better then the “thing”
ngl that cast for story #6 looks kinda cool to me
I really loved the pep talk after the exciting video, it's the first I've ever encountered here on RUclips and it definitely made my day, is Thank you very much sir
I heard that in #176, not only did he revert back to the Thing, but it was said that he was now bigger and stronger.
Well at least he’s married again and it’s quite wholesome
My number 2 all-time comic character behind my number 1, The Hulk!
Thank you, Jules. I needed you today
Doom didnt rewrite personalities in Secret Wars. He took a Sue Storm that didnt have a Reed, Dr Strange was still himself but he believed everyone else had died and Doom held the universe together as best as he could so he accepted being Dooms right hand, and the villains were all just overpowered by Doom so they had little choice but to kneel. Doom did a lot of mental manipulation, but he didnt often just rewrite peoples minds in secret wars.
That just seemed like a really weird thing to put in the script when its pretty openly explained why the people mentioned did what they did.
Oh, taking Reed's kids was a far worse act than Sue. Didn't even bother to make them biologically his.
"You killed this guy that's killed hundreds of thousands of people, we're locking you up buddy"
I forgot Sharon went by Ms. Marvel when she first appeared. Did she ever regain her normal looks?
Wikipedia says that she regained her human form after the 2015 Secret Wars and has returned to the superhuman wrestling circuit.
There is also the time when it is revealed that he always had the power to change back into his human form but couldn't do due to his subconscious prefering the rocky and when they found out he no longer had the power change due to the hundreds of attempts to "heal" him.
Wow, that had to hurt.
Damn all these things happened to the thing
Great video!
"You know who *Else* is strong enough to beat you?"
"who?"
"MY AUNT"
Give this man a hug
Jeez, Johnny Storm is such a Chad
It’s interesting… She-Thing actually looks more like the original “dinosaur hide” concept for The Thing’s appearance. (He kept getting penciled with this look for a while, despite the final comics using a rockier appearance)
One of the most underrated characters of marveldom.... Absolutely cracking character.
you guys should make a "10 worst things that happened to invincible" video :)
Wait! If Aunt Petunia died, how did she make to Ben’s and Alicia’s wedding?
because of DC and Marvels penchant for destroying and remaking the universe lately, death is meaningless.
she got better
@@anon3631 Could you give me a little more detail, please.
Being in that last Fantastic Four film. :)
That thumbnail tho 😀👍
shows pictures about hulk and the thing
".. calm and collected..."
...
admittedly we are talking about Jules here, those two would not stand a chance against him and jeremy XD
The Thing? I think the worst thing is whenever he has to use the toilet.
When the Thing became spiked he became powerful enough to beat the Hulk with no effort.
GOD that was just fucking depressing man
1. He was recently killed in a whatif comic by a giant laser.
2. Thor once smacked his jaw off
I didn't need to know She-Thing existed. For real, that's awful.
Frankie Ray was a female torch they called Nova.
I don't think mutating again was bad, he was alread used to looking like a monster, and now he was twice as resistant and twice as strong, and his knuckles where like knifes
He may not be the Strongest Super Joe around but at least he's the Handsomest !!!😁😁💪👍
I always found it a bit odd that no one ever mentions how the FF represent the four elements.
yes my favourite element is s t r e t c h
@@rockboiler1029 All nations lived in harmony, until the Stretch Nation attacked!
They did that in a story where they fought earth, wind, fire and water that was controlled by Diablo.
@@rockboiler1029 Reeds a shape shifter and fought water that does not remain in one shape.
To be honest, I think that there's enough story potential for The Thing to have his own movie, or at least his own extended story arc. He really should be a more popular character.
im surprised he didnt mention where in the future he's the only one alive
they forgot 2 include marvel not letting him smoke cigars
Johnny Marrying "Alicia Masters" was bad writing what kind of person marries his friends Girlfriend
You'd be fucking surprised.
When Jerry Lee Lewis was 26 he married a 13 year old first cousin once removed years later they divorced and some time after that he married the ex-wife of another first cousin once removed.
You forgot "What If" Vol 1. #2: ""What If the Hulk Had The Brain of Bruce Banner?"" (April, 1977), when on Earth-774 when the Thing gained the Hulk's powers/mutated and went on a rampage.
...And yet somehow the Yancy Street Gang aren't mentioned on this list anywhere. They must be mortified.
They are more an annoyance than a real threat
"you aint that tough my grandma could beat you"
"bet"
How about the time Spider-Man and Hawkeye mocked him in public?
Dr. doom made a cure just to flex on how incompetent reed Prichards was
dam this man has gont through morw pain that teen titans go robin lol
NOBODY ever remembers his spikey power upgrade ! And of course it didn't last long.
"where are your ears?"- johnny storm
5:57, look on the bright side, you beat the hulk fair and square
“His best friend Spider-Man”
Sounds like a fanfic lol
Nope, Spiderman and the Human Torch are in fact best friends, when they first appeared they were the only teenage heroes around (excluding the X-Men) and had lots of adventures together in the Marvel Team Up comic.
The things life is very difficult
Not Aunt Petunia!
What about how Johnny Storm treats him?
He got it 👍🏼
#0 -The worst thing that happened to the Thing had to be the time he was turned into a Teenager and had to help stupid teenagers with stupid problems with the help of the Thing ring doing it's thing.
You forgot the Fantastic 4 (2015) movie
He died on a recent issue
TBH number one in my opinion is either him be coming the Thing or being friends with Reed Richards
So wait gamma rays un mutant the thing? And cosmic rays is the hulk weakness and detransform him ?
The durian thumbnail caught my attention
