The Thing I Want Most…

Continuing to show some love this February is a Hallmark classic with the ever lovin’, blue eyed Thing.

For anyone who’s ever felt self conscious about their appearance, here’s Yancy Street’s most famous alum, Aunt Petunia’s own Bashful Benjamin J. Grimm.

Ben would spend most of his comic book career dating blind sculptress Alicia Masters. Their romance would be interrupted by teammate Johnny (Human Torch) Storm’s advances. She and Storm would marry only to learn later his Alicia was really a Skrull imposter.

The real Alicia, it was learned, had been in suspended animation during that time.

Ben would propose to schoolteacher Debbie Green only to leave her for fear of retribution by enemies.

Ben and Alicia would finally marry in Fantastic Four issue 650.

So, don’t give up hope, there’s someone for everyone.
