summer is a great time to catch some
rays but watch out for those of the
cosmic or gamma variety welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll see what
happens when Bruce Banner meets Ben
Grimm in an all-out super-powered brawl
for this showdown we’re pitting the Hulk
versus the thing based on specific
categories to see how well they measure
up
overall June issue round 1 origin and
motivation should have seen him before
ok now I’m gonna go kill him when super
scientist Reed Richards brings Sue Storm
Johnny Storm and best friend Ben Grimm
into space for an experimental mission a
few days in space it’ll be great
what’s the worst that can happen the
four companions are pelted with cosmic
rays until they become super-powered
heroes Ben Grimm gets the short end of
that stick when he is mutated into a
giant orange Rock monster
damn it’s me it’s still me who’s the
accident love bitch doing jobs where
most people would become evil super
villains following a transformation just
like that then instead joins his newly
powered teammates to fight crime
scientist Bruce Banner is believed the
life of a young teenager who has
wandered on to a nuclear testing site
whenever banner is angered thereafter he
transforms into a monstrous green man
with superhuman abilities including
strength and 9 and vulnerability
while both are foolhardy adventurers who
were forever changed by the risks they
took the thing was in space when it
happened which is just a little bit
cooler he also doesn’t have to be angry
or under emotional distress to be able
to use his powers winner the thing not
gonna be a problem
round two powers oh boy that’s a big
while turning into a horrible orange
rock monster does have its downsides it
also comes with a few perks as the thing
Ben Grimm can perform feats of
superhuman strength his orange rawhide
is nearly impenetrable giving him
enhanced durability the marquee clover
in charge and unlike the Hulk on most
days Ben retains his intelligence as the
thing and can think quickly in a fight
Bruce Banner has genius-level intellect
but it’s usually completely useless when
he becomes the Hulk so let’s focus on
what the Hulk can do he told me what he
wanted to do let’s start with the fact
that everything he does is super so
super strength super speed super
durability super reflexes etc oh all of
that is increased the angrier he gets
and even then it doesn’t take a whole
lot to pull that hair trigger while
Bruce Banner wouldn’t fare too well in
the fight the Hulk could take about just
anybody in the Marvel Universe winner
the Hulk by oh my god you dull creature
and I will not be bullied by round 3
alter-ego do you want to be Ben Grimm
again when he’s fighting the likes of
Victor Von Doom Ben Grimm is the mighty
thing a giant rock monster with super
strength
what bicep touch yet triceps when he’s
at home eating cereal Ben Grimm is still
a giant rock monster with super strength
yeah wherever he goes he’s always gonna
be the thing no matter how hard he tries
to hide it just give me the usual in a
mode all right
make it a double you won’t like him when
he’s angry but for most hours of the day
Bruce Banner is a mild-mannered
scientist who hides his alter ego pretty
well by not being a giant green rage
monster we’re doing the basic science
for everyone this comes in handy when he
wants to keep his life of super heroism
secret from those he loves the Hulk wins
this one by default sorry Ben I can’t
get too excited round four villains
Victor the Fantastic Four have an
impressive roster of super foes the
thing gets to tangle with all of them
for the most part because he’s the
muscle of the group and he’s not afraid
to throw a few punches Victor Von Doom
is the group’s main antagonist and he’ll
usually find the ruler of Latveria
trying to take over the world with his
evil doombots while Ben Grimm will
probably never outwit the nefarious doom
you can certainly pack a hell of a
wallop it’s clobbering time
when you’re a giant radiation monster
the list of your bad guys probably won’t
include card-carrying Mensa members what
while The Hulk does have his share of
brainy bad guys you’ll usually find him
battling other behemoths like the
abomination Red Hulk or the absorbing
man now let me show you why they call me
the absorbing man a particularly
interesting Hulk story arc is found in
world war hulk where he takes on most of
the Marvel superheroes in gladiatorial
fashion
while the Hulk has big bad bruisers to
throw down with the things villains are
a little more refined winner the thing
this is gonna be fun
round five team ups the day of the
Fantastic Four the thing and the
Fantastic Four are usually mentioned in
the same breath and there’s a good
reason for that
they’re one of Marvel’s oldest superhero
teams what’s the matter of n getting
paranoid in your old age and while
they’ve had rotating members every now
and then the core group stays pretty
much the same working together to fight
crime has brought Ben Grimm and
Fantastic Four so close that they’re
practically inseparable
I love this job
well we do have a suit it doesn’t take
much to be an Avenger if you have a
superpower or even if you aim really
well and you want to fight for good then
you’ve probably already gotten an
invitation
but the Hulk is one of the founding
members of Marvel’s most popular
superhero group and as such he’s usually
called on in times of extreme crisis I
have an ami we have a Hulk
okay sure there was that time that Iron
Man along with a few other Marvel
notables decided to send Bruce Banner
into space for being a bit of a dick but
you know that’s all water under the
bridge by now we had no choice may you
finally find peace while the Fantastic
Four are a close-knit crime-fighting
team blue is in everyone’s color by
contrast The Avengers have a pretty
laid-back costume policy now it might be
a really good time for you to get angry
that’s my secret at a minimum of ripped
up purple shorts will do nicely
whether you’re human mutant robot alien
supernatural or even a former bad guy
turned good you can still be a part of
their team Avengers Assemble winner The
Hulk amazing
the thing was a really close second but
Bruce Banner can be a real pain when he
doesn’t get his way
last four three two two we’ve got to
give it to the Hulk for the win if only
to avoid being smashed does our verdict
spell clobbering time for you be sure to
