The Fantastic Four are down but not out as the Reckoning War continues hopefully the Thing will survive the event and reunite with Alicia on Earth. But his relationship with Alicia grounds the Thing as one of the more human characters of the Fantastic Four, despite having his distinct non-human visage. The Thing did not escape the battle unscathed he's still badly injured and held together by grit and Reed Richards. But the two worked through their differences and finally married in 2019 this culminated in the Thing's wedding ring literally saving his life. Ben assumed Alicia would eventually tire of him, and even imagined she was attracted to the Silver Surfer (leading directly into This Man, This Monster!, a classic Thing tale). Alicia is a blind artist, and Ben initially believed she was attracted to him only because she couldn't see Ben's true face (though she did feel it and didn't seem to mind). "Alicia" he can only say as Rapture attacks a second time Ben is only saved thanks to Reed's timely intervention.īen Grimm and Alicia Masters' romance has existed for nearly five decades, and is one of the elements of Ben's character that fans admire the most.
