What Happened Every Time The Thing Fought The Hulk?

4. The Incredible Hulk #350

Thing Hulk
Marvel Comics

Technically a continuation of the previous entry, it gets its own spot because it's in a different comic and is its own self contained fight.

After getting absolutely trounced by the Thing, and when Doctor Doom's Hulk robot doesn't fare much better, he manages to convince the Hulk to have another go at him through good old fashioned reverse psychology.

Fixit isn't keen on getting his butt kicked again at first, but then he realizes that he can use the brain he still has to his advantage, and leads the Thing into Central Park. Once there, he uses the dense woods of the park as well as the cover of darkness to lead him on a wild goose chase, occasionally leaping out to pop off hits at him, exhausting him with the chase while pissing him off enough with the sudden attacks to keep Ben from realizing what's going on before it's too late.

And sure enough, right as the Thing gets wise as to what the Hulk is playing at here, Hulk leaps out one more time and knocks him out with a well placed punch.
