Defecation was explained in the anatomy picture. Everything he eats is converted by mineral stomach into carbon soup that is then filtered by kidneys and excreted through the skin to form new layers of his armor plates. So in other words, he shits through his skin and his armor is made of solidified shit.

@Philip Hockenbury : Agreed. Ben's ability to go the distance against stronger beings is virtually a superpower in itself. Ever see when the Elder of the Universe, Champion, challenged Earth's vastly strong types; wanting to prove his superiority using Terran boxing rules? He disqualified Hulk for going 'Hulk-wild', Namor for not being at full strength out of water, Thor for using Mjolnir; and KO'd almost everybody else. But not only did he respect Ben's boxing skills; the Elder was so impressed by Ben's refusal to stay down for the count, no matter how hard & repeatedly he battered him; that he conceded victory to him. One of The Thing's greatest victories was won by refusing to accept defeat.👊

i'd say for the defacating part, his extremely thorough stomach, rather than processing food, just completely dissolves matter into energy, leaving no waste or urine

marvel characters usually have hidden facets to their powers. for example, mystique can change her gender (and produce sperm); cyclops' optic beam actually doesn't generate heat, but only concussive force (the movies portrayed it wrong); and wolverine's blood gives vampires the ability to walk freely during the day.

Since his original leathery hide hardened into rock, l've always assumed he still had some of that hide underneath. The story where his rock breaks off kinda confirmed it to me, except he's apparently softer underneath than I'd've thought. The scenes of him being cut by Wolverine is like ghosts of arguments past for me. The Thing, Hulk, or anybody else w/ hide, armor, etc. that can withstand tons of force being sliced up by Wolverine makes NO d@mn sense. An unbreakable blade doesn't mean one can automatically penetrate any/all materials of lesser structural integrity. You'd still need strength, or at least mass, to put sufficient force behind that blade.Something approaching the target's structural integrity of your target (or could ANYBODY w/, say an adantium pocket knife could dismantle a heavy battle tank?). Yeh, Wolvie's disproportionatly strong for his size, but even IF he can supposedly generate tons of force since his "upgrade"; he certainly couldn't do it then. Ironic that a character whose personality was based on Ben's gets to ignore physics due to the appeal of that persona; but Ben often had/has one of his primary powers ( his rock-like resistance to injury) downplayed for the benefit of other characters.

Maybe such sloppy writing only applies when he's not fighting another X-Man? Even worse than cutting Ben's face was him jumping onto Hulk's shoulders & popping his claws directly into the Hulk's brain ( due to Hulk's mindless rage state & high regeneration, it wasn't as harmful as one might think; but -). Considering the structural strength of Hulk's skull, at best Wolvie should've just been pushed off by his own claw muscles; or, at worst he should've torn through his own arm tendons.. But again, no in-story logic, just sloppy writing.

The Thing does have a junk, Stan confirmed it in a interview with Vanity Fair he said and I quote "I guess common sense would say it was made of orange rock too." Not to mention it's kinda always been implied that he has one and that he still needs to use the restroom to especially since I vaguley remember him having a restroom in his room. Also if he didn't have a junk some writer would had most definitly been made Ben run around naked like the Abomination, A-bomb, Groot, and so on in daylight with any shadows covering him from the audience. Though even if he didn't have a junk I would have assumed that he would have had a cloaca like some birds and fish do.

You should cover more Fantastic Four comics. They're consistently really fun and wild to read with a lot of pathos and cool visuals. The original Stan Lee and Jack Kirby run is particularly insane. Honestly weird hearing Ben Grimm being called the Thing so much in the video, personally. After reading so many FF issues, you stop thinking about their superhero names and just call them by the people underneath. It helps that as a family, they hardly call each other by their superhero names. It's funny you say that Marvel can't have one of their staple characters be "going through it," because most of Ben's publication history since 1962 is pretty much just constant agony and it's only post-2010s that he's finally allowed to be permanently happy.

As for the 'rocky nerve endings' think of it like a turtle shell. It's actually bone and quite sensitive, they feel everything. In Rock case, I imagine he'd be able to feel vibrations rather well since rock can amplify some frequencies.

Same works for hearing. If the environment is silent enough you can hear your own pulse. Many people might have experience with that lying in a silent room with your ear on a pillow. It's all about your brains interpretation of the signal, the signal is always pretty garbage.

Forget questions like why do we exist or if they're is life out there in the universe or how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop... THIS is something folks should discuss about!

Damn man it makes me respect the Thing even more than I already do given what he puts himself through for others

He can fight medusa straight on. He's already a rock.

Oh wow someone finally took the time to find a character that most people are not paying attention to for the popularity of the character. Take the time to go deep in to the background of the character making this character a lot more interesting for the future. super fantastic job dude!,,,,,'!,

all the rocks being pulled in that one picture gives me some type of trypophobia

This is the big reason as to why I love The Thing because its understandable how at first he would see himself as a monster i mean anyone who had to live like that would but then he proves to himself and the world that he's not a monster but a true hero.

The Thing literally shits bricks

He was asking the real philosophical questions in the beginning

Here's a better question: once a year Ben reverts to his human form for 24hr. If Ben impregnates his wife, will she give birth to a rock baby or a mutant child like Franklin Richards?

Option two

Well to explain rocky nerve endings let start with tidbit 1: Nerves Transmit electricty thrugh some proccess If we include elements: than any kind of electricty conudcting metal would work (iron, gold, aluminimum for instance) If we want full on rocks like crystals: Than quartz crystal is your friend. When bent or compressed it generates electricty. So theoritically quartz based nerves could work!

I don't think we need imagination. That anatomy diagram you showed us noted something about how the kidneys make a "stone soup" which gets excreted by the plates. I think that he does pee- he pees orange rocks from his skin. He is basically one big kidney stone.

I swear, every Hero in Marvel have happy ending except Peter

“For the millions” that TMNT picture is hilarious

Imma be honest, I don't often like it when a character that's not Thor or Abomination beat Hulk but...Thing breaking off his whole arm just to knock hulk TF out goes hard

that Raphael punching hitler had me dying😂 comics r always doing some random shi

That thumbnail gives me goosebumps

And this is why Raphael is my favorite Ninja Turtle.

Awesome vid!

Not gonna lie. One of my favorite heroes knocking out another one of my favorite heroes with the hardest punch he could muster. Kinda dope

I remember reading a comic book where Susan was helping gather information on his mutation in an effort to cure him, and she told Ben she would have to watch him defecate. I don’t remember the comic name but I swear I didn’t dream this up

From the movie , looked like the Thing is just covered in rock based skin plates and under that is thicker than normal flesh , his blood is Rocky bits with a clear fluid .

*THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LEAVING THE TEXT IN THE TEXT BUBBLES* my mans doing God's work here people.

The Thing takes kidney stones to a whole other level

Thing Puns 🤣😂👏👌

The thumbnail triggered my fear of Trypophobia 😫

The Thing is the definition of "Momma didn't raise no quitter"

This is so cool. Thank you

I have a question: Are you planing to do a video about every comunity post you made or yust some of them or none because those would be a good idea for a video?

It’s exactly what I imagined… also Raphael punching hitler looks weird

Also, I kinda wonder how The Thing would be able to medicate himself through severe pain with traditional painkillers like regular people can and how his body would be able to process them, or if he would be able to feel the painkilling effects of medication due to his digestive system at all, considering he can risk essentially breaking what feels like teeth off of his outer dermal layer in the ways you mentioned you could imagine he’d experience a ridiculous amount of physical pain from his encounters.

Amazing story thank you

So, what's the comic where The Thing has the rocks from his shell brutally pulled?

This is eye opening😮

Your thumbnail made me feel REAL uncomfortable, congrats i clicked on it lol.

2:13 this is like… trypophobia in reverse

Those are actually really good questions I never did think about that

The amount of vine booms I would add to the beginning 😂

“How does The Thing do the thing?” is a sentence I never thought I’d hear, but can’t stop thinking about now

Kinda feel bad that he has to go trough all this pain

That Raph picture goes hard, love it

Ok I’m definitely subscribing 😂😂 from the video to the comments made my day a lot better 😂😂

What comic was the thumbnail image from ?

I have two theories: Theory A: like his ears, the soft tissue of his thing has been completely grown over; meaning he just has a hole where his junk is, the rest of it is concealed within the shell Theory B: (this one is more optimistic) the things things comes out of his body like a dog’s thing.

I never knew i wanted to know this until i saw ya vid, thank you 🙂

@@ronn-ammon8975 Someone should do a Batman movie where one very determined lawyer/prosecutor/whatever is sane enough to prove the Joker's sane enough to get the death penalty and not have any nonsense going on behind the scenes where Batman tries to 'save' the day so Joker won't get executed.

Idk why, but I remember vividly seeing a movie in which Ben Tennison. Ben fucking 10, became the Thing. And I never questioned it until the last years. Maybe I understood it wrong, but I even remember him being like “The omnitrix is no longer here! This is the new me!”

Originally his skin was like leathery dinosaur hide. I'd think the outer layers progressively hardened into intolocking rocklike plates. Maybe similar to armadillo, turtle, or even anklyasaurus shells.

His rock body is organic it grows and heals like human skin does.
