What If (vol. 2) #11 (March 1990) featured the Fantastic Four in four scenarios written and pencilled by Jim Valentino, showing what might have happened if the team-members had all had the same powers as one another.

In this form she had lost all but her very basic intelligence and could no longer speak. [98] In other media [ edit ] Television [ edit ] Moreno, Miguel (October 19, 2022).

Most of Marvel's greatest creatures of the Bronze Age were derivative of the Universal Monster cycle of horror, but not Man-Thing. No, this classic Swamp Creature came from the strange tradition of comic book swamp beasts, the same tradition that spawned DC' Swamp Thing. Figures are 8-inch (200mm). The figures were produced by Hasbro and feature multiple points of articulation. Early shipments have a paint error with grey paint on 616 pants and blue on Ultimate.

Gerry and I thought that, unconsciously, the origin in Swamp Thing #1 was a bit too similar to the origin of Man-Thing a year-and-a-half earlier. There was vague talk at the time around Marvel of legal action, but it was never really pursued. I don't know if any letters even changed hands between Marvel and DC. [...] We weren't happy with the situation over the Swamp Thing #1 origin, but we figured it was an accident. Gerry was rooming with Len at the time and tried to talk him into changing the Swamp Thing's origin. Len didn't see the similarities, so he went ahead with what he was going to do. The two characters [di]verged off after that origin, so it didn't make much difference, anyway.

Now, while the build and sculpt of the main frame are both impressive, some of the best work of this figure comes in the TWO heads, and the swappable hands. Now, the brows aren’t quite as prominent as I would prefer, and one head has teeth showing, which is normally a no-no for me, but damn it, both heads have so much personality, it is hard not to love them. My default will be the closed mouth version as it has that brooding Ben Grimm look that I love, but for action shots, I am surprisingly perfectly fine with the teeth, and the ferociousness they bring out in the expression. The blue eyes are, of course, very important, and they look great on both heads. Hey, it is good to have options. Magic-users and spellcasters seem to be prevalent among the Man-Thing’s encounters. The sorcerers Dakimh and Jennifer Kale rank chiefly among them having had more than one adventure with the swamp creature. Earth’s Sorcerer Supreme Dr. Stephen Strange, AKA Doctor Strange, may also be counted in this group, being sympathetic to the Man-Thing’s existence as a protector of realities.
