In Earth-616, the Thing had Franklin Richards on his shoulder when Sue Richards arrived, having been bought flowers by Reed Richards, and introduced Alyssa Moy to Sue. As he felt the moment between Reed and Sue required some privacy, he left with Alyssa, giving her a "nickel tour" of Pier Four, showing her the hangar. He saw Reed off as he left for 30 Rock.
Grimm made dinner for Franklin and Alyssa. When he attempted to crack an egg, Hard-Boiled Henry burst out, with Grimm telling Franklin and Alyssa to leave, shortly before Henry exploded, partly destroying the warehouse. As Technet cornered Franklin and Alyssa, the Thing faced them, allowing Franklin and Alyssa to escape, but being turned back into a human by Joyboy, something he reverted by knocking Joyboy out. China Doll then shrunk Grimm, before Scatterbrain splintered Ben's consciousness, scattering it to "the furthest limits of the timestream", and Thug knocked him out. Gatecrasher then ordered Bodybag to bring him with them as a prisoner. (COMIC: April is the Cruelest Month [+]Loading...["April is the Cruelest Month (comic story)"])
