10 Worst Things That Ever Happened To The Thing
6. He Missed His Honeymoon - Fantastic Four #13 (2019)
Although Reed Richards never figured out how to permanently return Ben Grimm to normal, he devised a temporary solution. Reed built a bracelet that can convert Ben to his original body for one week each year. After Ben married Alicia Masters, he intended to activate the bracelet during their honeymoon.
But on the big night, the couple were interrupted when the Hulk started attacking Thing for seemingly no reason. When the Hulk referred to Ben's wife as 'my Alicia', the rocky superhero realised the Jade Giant was being mind-controlled by Alicia's maniacal father, The Puppet Master.
With only seconds to spare before Thing changed into his human form, Ben defeated the Hulk. Unfortunately, Ben was so exhausted from the battle, he passed out.
When he woke up in hospital, Johnny Storm alerted him that he'd been out cold for a week, meaning he missed his opportunity to be with Alicia intimately. Although Ben was furious, Alicia reassured him, saying they would get the chance the following year. Ben explained that he was still upset since he wanted to start a family with her as soon as possible.
