Ben Grimm is about to accept a science award on behalf of Reed Richards but the event is attacked. Ben uses his body to ward the bullets but not before one scientist is shot.
The Thing attacks but he encounters an extraordinary weapon.
Perfect timing for Moon Knight to make an appearance.
Let it be on the record that when they first met the Thing was less than cordial to Moon Knight.
No Fantasticar today, the Thing has to take a cab. Plus he doesn't have any money to pay the cabbie. More than that, the cab driver is really Moon Knight.
Hehehe.
Unsurprisingly, the Thing can't go into action without the Moon Knight getting a piece of it.
Moon Knight shows his stuff.
So far, it's a very lopsided battle.
Just as both heroes thought that it was game over, the leader of their foes, one Crossfire, makes an appearance and gases the Thing and Moon Knight.
In the classic manner, Crossfire reveals his plans while Moon Knight makes his plan.
It seems Crossfire is a known entity to Moon Knight.
Crossfire aims to destroy all heroes and envisions a superhero 'civil war'. Hehehe.
Oh, Crossfire. If you only knew what the future holds.
Crossfire shows off his beautifully rendered brainwashing machine.
Grimm escapes and Crossfire makes good his threat but Moon Knight has already gone.
This is the closest thing we can get to a Thing and Batman team-up.
The machine is activated. Ben falls prey to it but Moon Knight has special training.
Moon Knight's attack gives Ben the opening to destroy the machine. An escaping Crossfire accidentally blows himself up.
It turns out it wasn't an explosive but a nerve gas.
