Biography:

"One side, Buster, 'cuz I'm handling this myself! I don't wanna you paintin' me as a sobbin' victim! I'm the idol of millions with a lovin' family, I ain't no one's victim!"

"Okay, so mebbe I've been given a few bad hands! I used to be a hotshot pilot and military ace, born in the mean Yancy Street of New York! I had to grow up a tough mean guy, but I like ta think I never lost my heart like others do! In college, I met my good buddy, egghead Reed Richards, and a nasty fella named Vic von Doom. After Vic was expelled over messin' up with occult forces and blowing his ugly kisser up, Reed and I graduated. He wanted me to help him pilot an experimental spaceship into a field of cosmic pulses, and somewhat dumbly, I accepted. Radiation turned Reed into a human rubber hand, his fiancee Suzie into a lovely invisible girl, Suzie's dumbass kid bro Johnny into a human torch an' me into... well, an orange rock thing!"

"But so what? I've struggled with a face only a mum could love, but hey, I'm as strong as they come and I can help others much better 'n I ever could! Looks ain't everythin'! You disagree? Then c'me here an' let's discuss it face ta face! Huh. I thought so!"

Class Skills:

Magic Resistance: C

Thanks to his experience fighting Doctor Doom and Diablo and surving those encounters, the Servant has gained a moderate amount of resiliance against spellcraft and such.

Riding: B

The Servant is an extremely apt hand at driving land vehicles and especially piloting aerial and outer space ships, but the rank is lowered because he is too heavy to ride most animals. Anything the size of an elephant or above is fine supporting him.

He couldn't ride dragons or phantasmal beasts.

Personal Skills:

Military Training: A

Despite his rough, brutish behavior, Grimm is actually very intelligent, playing up an air of buffoonery to make others understimate him. He is an elite college graduate, who only looked underachieving by being right next to the most intelligent man of their world. After university, Grimm had a stint as an Armed Forces pilot, working on secret operations with Colonel Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D., Carol Danvers the future Captain Marvel and Warbird, and Logan, the future Wolverine of the Uncanny X-Men. Additionally, Grimm has been an astronaut and galactic explorer along the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Grimm also has wrestling experience, and he has been an accomplished American Football player. He is a good leader, sometimes taking over leadership of the Fantastic Four when Mr. Fantastic wasn't available.

Scientific Know How: C-

By being around Mr. Fantastic for so many years, Rider has picked up some advanced scientific knowledge.

Despite his protests on the contrary, he can understand most of Reed's jargon and explanations, and act on them quickly on a battlefield.

He also can rebuild machines destroyed and recreate those he has seen built by Reed or another comparable genius, as he has an attentive eye.

Battle Continuation: A++

"This fight ain't over yet-not by a long shot! Ya only won on a technicality! Ya didn't really beat me! Ya'll never beat me! I'm just too stupid… and ugly… ta know when to quit!"

"No, my friend... I could never beat you! I know that now! I could crush your bones, and break your body-but I would never conquer your spirit! Any world that could spawn one such as you- is truly the worthiest of all! I sense that one day my people will battle yours for the total supremacy of the cosmos- but that will be in the eons to come! And what a glorious competition it shall be! Farewell, my friend! I have endless universes yet to visit! Infinite worlds to offer my gift! We shall never meet again! A pity! For to you-and you alone-I would offer the supreme glory of... a rematch!"

The Thing is a rocky scary bad-ass mofo! He is so stubborn on his feet that even when brutalized by the Champion of the Universe, a cosmic being empowered by the Power Gem who had just beaten up every other hero on Earth, he kept on coming back no matter how much he was beaten down. He is so macho that he has caused this profile's overall stuffy Nasuverse style speech to gush over him as a fanboy. Bravo!

Noble Phantasm:

Fantasti Car- Pimp Our Fantastic Ride: C

A flying and aquatic vehicle designed by Reed Richards. Grimm was most often its designated default pilot. While it lacks effective offensive capacities, meant mostly as an exploration tool, it has an incredibly resiliant exterior that can endure heavy gunfire even from cosmic beings with little damage.

It flies at incredible speeds, reaching a maximum of 350 miles per hour, and is highly maneuverable. It is mostly used to transport allies, perform escapes, and distract the enemy with non tripulated kamikaze bombings, as offensively Thing mostly relies on his high physical stats.

"Sheesh- -if it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all!"

"Huh, what a funny coinki-dink. I also was Blackbeard f'r a while. Don't get mad, pal! I wasn't my intention..." (When you have Rider or Pretender Edward Teach).

"Spidey! What a nice sight fer sore eyes... Nah, wait, that's what I'd say if Spider-Woman were here. Hah hah! Just a joke, bud!" (When you have Caster Spider-Man).

"Hrmph. You'd better keep those claws of yours in check this time, runt. A single slash to dis gorgeous mug and I'll shove 'em all the way up yer nose!" (When you have Berserker Wolverine).

"Hothead! Wow, I'm almost glad to see you again! Almost! Shows how much this whole blamed mess does to a poor fellow's state of mind!" (When you have Rider Human Torch Johnny Storm).

Birthday: "Partyin' with flair an' taste? Now dat's sumthin' Birthday Ben excels at! You'll have a real good time today, friend!"

Event: "Mebbe it's a bad idea, goin' there... But what the heck, that's what heroes do! Clobberin' times are back in style!"

Holy Grail: "You kiddin', right? You've looked at me, haven't you? What do you think I would wish for?"

Next: The Nasuverse's Samson doesn't ever slay anyone with a donkey's jawbone. That never stops being disappointing.
