What Happened To Everyone Who Joined The Guardians Of The Galaxy?

20. The Thing (Ben Grimm)

Guardians of the Galaxy Thing
Marvel Comics

The ever loving blue-eyed Thing, Ben Grimm, has been a part of many different superhero teams, thanks to his charisma and natural talent for getting along with pretty much everybody. So him being a part of the Guardians was only inevitable.

Frankly joining the Guardians was a dream come true for Ben, seeing as how on Earth he's regarded as either a celebrity, a punchline, or a monster, but in space he's about as normal as they come. Ben flourished with the Guardians, becoming the team's Flash Gordon, kicking alien bad guy ass and charming every woman he came across.

Of course, no member of the Fantastic Four can stay away from the team forever, and Ben eventually grew homesick for Yancy street and his best bud Reed, so he would return to Earth. But his time with Kitty Pryde and the Bendis Guardian team has been rightly fondly remembered by fans ever since.
