Origin

Into the Negative Zone

When Hulk and Thing enter the Negative Zone, Hulk and Thing end up fighting Blastaar at The Leader's lair. Annihilus is seen with the Leader where it was shown that Leader had confiscated Annihilus' Cosmic Control Rod and modified it. Blastaar was defeated by Thing while the Hulk battled the Leader. After Leader was defeated by Hulk, Annihilus reclaimed the Cosmic Control Rod and escaped.While Hulk was fighting Leader.

Personality

Ben is a hard headed but soft hearted man, he's known to be hard and mean on the outside but to have a heart of gold, he's very self conscious about his appearance and often refers to himself as a monster but he appreciates his powers and uses them to bring justice to criminals alongside the fantastic four. Though he mostly appears tough as nails he's known to be a nurturer as he shows this towards Reed and Sue's children.
