Origin[]
Thang was a member of the Marvelous Heroes & the Fantabulous Four superhero team. He wore a spiked collar with red shorts. His catchphrase was "It's Slobberin' Time!"
His teammates include The Wisp, Great-Big Huge Man, Captain Americuss, Scrap-Iron Man, Mr. Fantabulous, Thore the God Thenthathional, Fumin' Scorch, Hunk, Spider-Dan, and Invisibubble Girl.
When the Green Trashcan, self-proclaimed leader of the Bestest League of America, went to meet with the Marvelous Heroes at their headquarters to discuss the superhero strike. Mr. Fantabulous attempted to be a voice of reason and prevent a conflict, but the other Marvleous Heroes kick their rival hero out of their headquarters. Thang is very quick to be violent with Green Trashcan, Mr. Fantabulous, and Hunk.
After being expelled, Green Trashcan gathered the BLA for battle. The two groups begin to battle it out, but Hunk and Thang both fight over Wondrous Woman instead of fighting their rivals in the Bestest League of America.
When their respective union presidents arrive to tell them the strike is over due the US President and the Comics Code declaring the strike unethical, Thang disrespects Stan Wee only to for Stan to threaten to have Thang erased by Jack Curly.

Notes[]
- The character is an obvious spoof of Thing.
- The Marvelous Heroes are in the public domain thanks to a lack of a proper copyright notice (any work published without one between 1923 and 1977 immediately entered the public domain).
