[hider=the THING II]

Name - Jacob Grimm

Alias - the Thing 

Age - 19

Powers - 

Geokinesis: Jacob has increased strength and durability as well as the ability to bend stone and sometimes the Earth itself to his will. He can use this to rip up terrain with TK like force and throw it at enemies, produce stone shields and columns that come up from the ground, cause small earthquakes, create basic stone constructs like simple weapons/tools or large hands/gloves, as well as a complete suit of stone armor. 

He can't fly on terrain he's ripped up but he could use chunks of stone and earth like stairs if he had to. Aside from that difference he's much like DC's Terra. 

Weaknesses - 

The one large drawback is it takes concentration for the more fancy applications of his power. If he's a bit too emotional, or his mind or consciousness is being tampered with through telepathy or some drug induced attack, his powers are less likely to work. 

Personality - quiet, loyal, headstrong

Experience - a few months

Appearance -

BRIEF Bio - The great nephew of the original Thing, Ben Grimm, Jacob has only been developing his powers for a few months. He's your average kid next door, born in Ohio. Jacob moved to Brooklyn to live with Ben when he turned eighteen because his great uncle was still something of a celebrity but needed somebody around more often than not in his old age. After several months of exposure to his sick and elderly uncle, some residual cosmic energy seemingly made a stomach virus passed from Ben to Jacob rewrite the teenager's DNA and geokinetic powers have mutated into existence within the boy. 

Key Differences - He's geokinetic and isn't stuck looking like a monster. 

Sample Story Arcs - 

The Fantastic: Jacob tells his retired uncle about his powers. Ben helps him develop them further and gets an old prototype F4 suit for Jacob to use. Jacob's first superhuman battle comes in the form of an old creature of the deceased Mole Man who comes up from the ground in Central Park. 

Hulk(s) vs Thing: The sudden appearance of a pack of wild Hulk like creatures has the older Amadeus Cho stumped, so he enlists the help of one of the stronger up and coming heroes to help him with the problem. 

Guardian: The all new Thing continues to make a name for himself, but is shocked to meet a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy's past looking for his uncle. 

Supporting Characters - Mole Man creature, Wild Hulks, Amadeus Cho, Ben Grimm, Flash Thompson. 

Notes - Anything can be changed as far as my story arcs if any of the characters aside from Ben Grimm and the monster are needed elsewhere.
