Wolverine’s thing transformation uses the most powerful form of the Fantastic Four hero

A double dose of cosmic rays turns the thing into a Hulk-strength behemoth

While plenty of heroes have been transformed in Marvel’s new cover initiative — including Wolverine’s longtime X-Men allies Nightcrawler, Jean Gray and Dazzler — Logan’s transformation is particularly special. This is because it uses the most powerful form of the Thing, remembered for being the version of ​​the Fantastic Four heavyweight who finally outmuscled the Hulk. In Steve Englehart and Keith Pollard Fantastic Four #311, The thing receives a second dose of cosmic rays, doubling the mutation that turned it into a rock monster – Including an unbelievable new level of strength.

This period was marked by the Thing’s craggy skin that had a spiky appearance, and included the mighty feat of the Hulk (who was in his Joe Fixit form at the time.) Camuncoli made the fascinating choice to equate the Thing’s Spikes with Wolverine’s claws actually bring to mind one of Logan’s most powerful transformations. in the latter Jean Gray #2 By Louise Jones Simonson and Bernard Chang, fans saw an alternate timeline where Wolverine became the Phoenix instead of Jean Grey, Causes claws to erupt over his body, can be fired as projectiles.

Fans of Wolverine’s new Fantastic Four look should not despair that this will be the only appearance of the character. There’s a lot of precedent for particularly cool variant cover concepts being brought up in Marvel’s official continuity. For example, the upcoming New champions Series follows a team of heroes originally designed for variant covers that imagined the Avengers’ psychics. If fan reaction to the WolverThing is positive enough, fans can expect to see this version of Wolverine Again soon, perhaps united with the other variant cover heroes with the powers of Fantastic practices thing.
