Sibling rivalry: One brother became the world famous Thing....

10 posts in this topic

the other brother, became.................... a plumber.

 

But which was which, and when did this strange twist of fate occur? And how did the Grimm family deal with the youngsters as they grew into adulthood and walked the paths that their lifes choices had brought to them. One to super stardom, acclaim and famousness as a member of The Fantastic Four, world savers and all around good people. While the other........ to nearly complete obscurity.

 

Yet, thats how it is sometimes. Two brothers, always competing. The elder, and the younger, both taking the strong man path, hoping that they can make it to the big time. The elder.....blazing the trail, leading the way, taking the risks..... and rising to the heights of the inside front cover of Paul Terrys Comics !! It was 1954 and the Grimm family couldn't have been prouder. Mr. G handed out cigars !

So, what you are saying is that Ken put in all the work and Ben took the easy way out by getting blasted by cosmic rays?

 

And how much hard work did Ken have to do? Seems he only had to mail the coupon in. Doesn't seem like much work to me, unless it was one really heavy envelope.

Young Ben Grimm never quite got over finding out that his favorite comic book was savagely attacked and missing a coupon thanks to his brother, he soon took out his frustrations on the football field.

Ben "Rocky" Grimm never let on that his secret motivation was his hatred for his accursed brother. Only his Aunt Petunia knew of the hidden pain he felt.
