Winter, aged 3 days.

Alright, alright; I promise that this’ll be the last, absolutely the last, post of unflattering comparisons, but surely I’m not the only one to see similarities here?


The midwives tell us that a bit of sorbolene will clear up Winter’s dry skin issues. I wonder if The Thing ever tried that? And she's really strong like The Thing too. At least, I assume that's one of his attributes. I've not seen the movie or read the comics/graphic novels, but he looks more like he'd be up for kicking in a reinforced door, than hacking into Evil Corp's mainframe on a computer. Come to think of it, I'm not even sure his name is The Thing. I just pulled that out of the ether, but it seems right. I must have heard it somewhere, sometime. Pretty harsh, isn't it? I'm all for calling a spade a spade, (or a thing a thing), but hopefully his Fantastic friends don't call him that. He's got enough problems just dealing with his dry skin.

And hey, it looks like those Arnie predictions weren’t that far wrong!


Fresh from the womb and already she’s got a signature pose down pat. Well, pretty close anyway. Might need a bit of work on her tone, and I think she’s got a bit too much of The Thinker in there, but definitely a promising start!

    Well, he's not as dumb as he looks - before his transformation, he was a test pilot, after all.

    On the other hand, his catchphrase is "It's clobberin' time!"

    His real name is Ben Grimm. Although, unlike the rest of the Fantastic Four, it's not much use as a secret identity, because... well, look at the picture.

    He chose the name "The Thing", because for some reason he felt people perceived him as ugly.

  2. I wish you hadnt found such a poore 'The Thing' picture. That film is a travesty.
    Even Michael chiklis in his Rubber Monster suit, couldnt save it.
    For Shame Jessica Alba, For Shame.

  4. I would expect Winter's skin to be like that after swimming around for 9 months, it only takes me 2hrs in the water to get the same effect...
