Bombarded by cosmic rays during an exploration in deep space, Benn Grimm's body underwent an extraordinary transformation. His strength, endurance and durability were boosted to super-human levels and his skin became an orange colored, rock-like armor. As a member of the Fantastic Four, The Thing is a sworn protector against villainy and threats of conquest, but his monsterish appearance has always remained his greatest enemy. Often feeling the need to disguise himself when entering public, Grimm's crude camouflage poorly covers the heart and soul of a true, blue-eyed hero.
