Outside of the Ultimates, I don’t really care about the Ultimate Marvel versions of the classic characters. However, I found this sequence from Ultimate Fantastic Four #8 (by Warren Ellis and Stuart Immonen), very amusing.
After 30 years of reading the FF, never stopped to think about how the Thing went to the bathroom. Warren Ellis, always thinking out of the box!
Another question: how personal does the Thing get with Alicia Masters? I went to a con in the 1980s and saw John Byrne at a panel, during the time he was on Fantastic Four. He said something to the effect of: “By the way, you don’t think Ben and Alicia really—oomph—“ (making a motion of Ben slamming himself on top of Alicia) “—do it, do you? Because if they did, she’d be flatter than a pancake.” We all laughed like mad. Byrne was extremely funny during the appearance, almost like a stand-up comedian.
Aren’t some questions left better unanswered? Nuff said.
