State Your Opinion on a Marvel Character - Part 1

[Dark Raven]

Man Thing is cool! I first came across him in the pages of Daredevil when he showed up to save him from Deathstalker and Gladiator.

However, here's one comic that shouldn't be ignored:

Giant Sized Man Thing!!!

His Marvel Legends figure was great, but maybe a little too small and thin. A Marvel Select Man Thing would've been a better scale because they're naturally bigger and he would've been bulkier and more of a monster.

Shame that there was that direct to DVD crap that Marvel put out a few years back that didn't really resemble the comic character at all.

i love him, one of my favorite characters to come out of the 70s. I always used to brush him off then I read one of his comics and bought all of them after that. Loved him in marvel zombies and thunderbolts.

Movie version of him:

 

[runawayboulder]

Man-Thing is the shiznit.

 

[Kurosawa]

Man-Thing is great, loved Marvel's horror books fro the 70's.

 

[Czar Colossus]

 

[Yodaman]

He'll never be Swamp Thing

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Thanks a lot Dark
I wanted to forget that

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

sharing the stage with one who has DE-evolved!( Hey! thats DEVO!) is one who likes to "evolve" things maybe he could give Lindsey Lohan something other than a hamster's brain.. hehe sorry i couldnt resist! He's not low! He's

THE HIGH EVOLUTIONARY

 

[Anubis]

I never really felt one way or the other about Man-Thing.....his name is a good joke though.

And I like the High Evolutionary. Dig his look and general.......amoral mad scientist thing.

 

[Dark Raven]

Well the High Evolutionary was responsible for the likes of Bova the Cow, all the odd animals of Wundagore, and also Jessica Drew becoming Spider-Woman. Of course, the original story was that Jessica was actually a spider that had evolved to become a human, not a human that gained spider powers. However, Stan Lee found that too disgusting and had that changed quickly.

Sometimes I think the High Evolutionary just evolved animals for fun, just to see what they might turn out like.

 

[Manic]

I know you don't smoke weed, Evolutionary, but I'mma get you high today. It's Friday, you ain't got no job, and you ain't got **** to experiment on!


Seriously, I love the guy. He's one of those great characters who isn't good or evil, but a very powerful sociopath who does what he finds most interesting.

Then he'd have sex with them.

 

[Dark Raven]

BTW why are we moving on from Man Thing so quickly and onto the HIgh Evolutionary, when yesterday we had Hela for the whole day? I would've thought people would want to go deeper with Man Thing instead of only a quick entry.

 

[Anubis]

He didn't move on, they're just both up at the same time. Hence the "Sharing the Stage" thing.

 

[E-Man]

He's named The High Evolutionary. That's enough to be pretty damn cool in my book.

exactly dark! dark! what am I going to do with you! You should take over and see what a chore this can sometimes be( especially after a hangover)I got very little characters and whole lotta time to get to next Friday!! Haha there isn't atime limit on this.hell peopl were commenting for days on forge. Just some characters are so bad ass they deserve the spotlight all by themselves while others well that's why you have a point guard in basketball! Sheesh you are such a wise guy! Hehe

 

[Hound55]

You're a bastard BV... Making me wish Marvel actually did something with their horror lines...

HE is cool too...

I'm off to cry 'bout Marvel's neglected genre stuff *puts arm around Jack Russell and wanders off*

 

[Kurosawa]

High Evolutionary is a very interesting character but he works better with writers who can handle science fiction, which is not very common in modern soap opera comics.

 

[Franklin Richards]

I always wanted the High Evolutionary to put Magneto in his place.


"Homo Superior? Cute."

 

[greenrage36]

Love the Man-Thing! I don't rank him quite as high as Swamp Thing, but its always interesting to see how they portray him...sometimes lame, sometimes very cool.


High Evolutionary I dig for many reasons - not the least of which is his armor/costume...if I saw him in real life he'd be one freaaaaky lookin' dude! Sometimes I'm not totally happy with how he's used in certain stories; I wonder if he gets shoe-horned into certain appearances simply because the writer is trying to bring in something 'different' as opposed to constructing a story that serves him and his reasons aside from 'stop the mad genius' kinda thing...

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Spider-Man Unlimited has the only design I liked for this suckah

Thanks Stan
