Just how fucked would the DC universe be if The Thing from another world existed in it?

How will the thing assimilate him though?
Isn’t supermans sells charged by the sun? Wouldn’t they just fry it to death?
Just asking here.

Green lanterns would probably be able to scan for it, then the ring would alert the Corps about the infection. Cue all available lanterns showing up to scour the globe to find the fuckers.

The universe is big and there are a lot of things that probably do the same thing this prick does. Hell they already have the Scarabs and those mind control starfish fuckers. Honestly the Thing would fit right into that same category.

He's call Martian Manhunter

Swamp thing is a hard counter since I don’t remember the thing taking over trees.
However, I do think the thing will try to take control of the Red and Buddy has to ask the help of the other parliaments to prevent the world from being taken over by the thing.
Would be a cool horror book if written competently.

The Thing can copy any living organic thing perfectly and it spreads like crazy
A single cell of the Thing is living and can take over an entire human with ease

We never see The Thing near plant life so it’s unkown if it can assimilate plant life too

That'd be dope.
An excellent matchup for the Parliaments, then! In my opinion, the Thing couldn't take out the DCU, but it certainly could ruin its day.

There was just no plants life in the arctic., And assimilating a tree would make it seem pretty suspicious when it snatches something up to eat and scurries away

Oh yeah forgot about the whole “Antarctica” thing.

I think the thing would probably have to face a lot of the defenders of earth though. Maybe the thing would act like swamp thing when his conciousness was ejected into space and forced to unwillingly merge with the closest living biological organisms but in this case it wasn’t forced and the thing is just doing this to destroy the world.

It wouldn't play out as a normal comic story that's for sure, plot armor aside The Thing would win hands down as it's modus operandi is to stealthy take over the planets populations.

so it takes over a bird, a fish, a dog, a man, etc and it can infect anything as long as a single cell attaches to the other party.
if somehow a super hero can identify the Thing in a two day time limit (they can't unless the thing fucked up completely, and it won't cause it's not dumb enough to reveal itself as a grotesque monster) it's still already over because it would have infected a large enough population to cause a world ending event.

also the thing was able to make a space craft ufo out of helicopter parts and shit laying around an arctic base.

Arctic* fugg me.

The regular people in the movie werent even fucked and beat it, retard.

Plants have cells though, the thing infecting other plants with pollen, seeds, and taking over a bee hive would be OP.

Dang, at this point nithing short of a reality warp could kill the thing.
Unless were talking exterminatus, that beast could glass the thing into oblivion. Man I do love me some exterminatus.

>he thinks The Thing died

>a space faring parasite that's highly intelligent and was able to build a UFO out of scrap parts and a 1980's helicopter dying from one planet exterminatus.

it did all of this under a shack and a 24hour grace period.
what makes you think it won't have a space armada filled with biological eggs ready to infected the whole solar system ready in a five year period?

if anything, you gotta Halo that shit.
just like the flood, just starve it until it's dead dead dead.

the ending of the movie implies that it might be still alive.

Most likely thing that would happen is The Thing would build a UFO out of car parts go to the justice league tower and assimilate every hero there

>The thing is a Tyrannid
At this point it doesn’t even need to make a ship it will BE the ship!

>and it won't cause it's not dumb enough to reveal itself as a grotesque monster
It got itself caught trying to assimilate a dog near the beginning of the movie. It actually fucks up several times through out the movie, it's just so resilient normal people couldn't really stop it from making progress anyway.

Tbh I got the impression it wasn't actually smart on it's own, but only gained intelligence if it assimilated enough intelligent creatures. And even then it seemed strangely basic in it's methodology. Like an animal smart enough to superficially understand human behavior but not really complicated in it's own thought processes.

Not very, cellular manipulation isn't new to the DCU and the Green Lanterns are built to deal with it.

Kind of, though in terms of combat prowess it's weaker for sure.
Though I think Tyranids are a much more larger threat cause it doesn't need a host to reproduce.

yeah, it was in a desperate position I believe.
I think the thought process The Thing had was that if it infects all these dogs now and fast it can overwhelm the humans on the base and then call for evac.

>Tbh I got the impression it wasn't actually smart on it's own, but only gained intelligence if it assimilated enough intelligent creatures

that is also possible, so it only had the intelligence of a dog during the first part of the movie and grew more intelligent as time went on and grew out of it's stasis.

Amazo solos.
Every cell of the Thing would probably disintegrate if it gets even anywhere near Captain Atom or Firestorm.
Dr Fate can probably sense each individual consciousness of each Thing cell even if they are acting as a single person.

It attacked becuse the dogs could sniff out it wasn’t a real dog up close
Dog Thing had no choice but to assimilate every dog to shut them up and increase its chances of winning

Isn't there a some kind of Green Lantern alien-cell organism allready?

>perfect copy

That cannot possibly be true.
Because then it wouldn't be the Thing anymore.

>Amazo
Golden Amazo is overkill. Normal Amazo though... Idk how it would work out.

It says in the film is a perfect imatation it copies it’s victims down to the cell level to keep hidden
It’s moulds every part of itself to fool anyone around it
It only changes once threatened or when it’s trying to assimilate a victim bigger then it

We have this thread regularly and nearly every time OP gets assblasted when people tell him The Thing (or any horror character) isn’t hot shit in comic universes

Shit, were I the Thing, I wouldn't bother making trees eat people. Just have them churning out infectious pollen 24/7. Spread and infect everything on the continent, then infect oceanic plankton and migratory fish and birds. Houseflies, mosquitos, tardigrades. Why be one big Thing when you can be a trillion in a few hours.

Of course he isn’t top tier.
Not even the top 100 in the DC universe.

I’m not OP but The Thing could still be a credible threat to those who are susceptible to assimilation especially on earth.

Everyone here seems to agree DCU is pretty fucked mate

Could you be infected without knowing it?

I don't think the thing actually has a consciousness.

What would happen if the thing gets in touch with a Symbiot in the Marvel universe?

yeah, a thing just has to cough in your direction and bam.
or even just brush against your skin and "eject" one of it's cells into an open would or orifice.

The Thing being a prostitute could work as a good horror porn film.

It does it makes clear logical choices through the film it even tries to frame Kurt Russell

Yeah no. The Thing is an impressive organism, but it’s still not surviving The Justice League. Fuck off back to your cancerous horror general

it builds a ufo, speaks, and makes decisions and knows enough to hide it's existence due to it being outnumbered.

did you watch the film?

It probably doesn't. At least, not like us. Every single Thing, from largest battleform to smallest cell is its own individual entity after all. That having a unified consciousness probably isn't happening.

>(or any horror character)
Judy and the Entity immediately spring to mind as things that could threaten the DCU.

why would the thing go on a 1 on 1 fight with the justice league.
it's gonna take over earth as stealthily as possible and then ram the justice leagues ass.
and all it needs to do infect one human to know what sort of threat the justice league has over it or watch the news.
"oh that guy can shoot laser beams out his eyes, better fucking stay away from him and infect all these other people first"

the thing doesn't have to fight the super heroes unless he takes over a good number of the human populace without them founding out, which they wont.

>Heroes catch wind The Thing exists
If the Thing was playing it smart, the they wouldn't find out about it until several days after the fact.

A bunch of pimps trying to survive and figure out who the Thing is would be pretty funny

Were having fun here no need be a killjoy

Catch wind how soon? An hour? Two? If The Thing lands in a city, given how usually densely populated they are the how frequent mass transit is, unless they catch that shit in a few hours max it's over m8.

The Thing vs Slickback? Now thats a Movie I can get behind.

>B-But he’s smart!
Shut up. It takes time for The Thing to consume and imitate, it’s not instantaneous. Few hours in, people are going to know, it’s going to drop the act like it always does when found, and it’s going to get burned. The act never lasts, it’s not going to survive. This is why these discussions are stupid because you’re mashing together two fictions with different rules. Freddy is no Doctor Destiny, Jason isn’t Grundy, and The Thing is no different.

Yeah, that's too much time for it to do anything it wants. All it needs to do is hit the ocean, or spread into local insect populations, or better yet, hit a city, and it's game over.

The Thing relies on stealth but it has limits. It needs time to eat/transform, and it can’t replicate memories

You assume the heroes would know?
Even if they do if The Thing had been in a populated area for at least 7 hours it’s already all over

>takes time for The Thing to consume and imitate, it’s not instantaneous
The same thing that utterly infected a guy because he touched his eraser on his mouth after exposing it to Thing-flesh?

If it's not instantaneous, then it may as well be for all intents and purposes.

Oh yeah I’m sure when it goes into the sea all the fish will stop it

>and it can’t replicate memories
Doesnt need to. It essentially mimics the personality so we'll you may as well be talking to the actual person for how different they seem.

>it can’t replicate memories
What do you base that off?

His ass.

To be clearer, I think it's more like an AI than a person. It's intelligent, can solve problems, but it's not conscious of what it does, it's just executing commands to the best of it's ability. It seems like a flesh robot working on an instinct to spread for no real reason beyond that's what it was made to do. Who knows maybe it was some kind of bioweapon that got loose when the original ship crashed.

I did forget that it was building it's own ship though. Maybe it was conscious of it's situation.

it doesn't have to turn into a grotesque monster to assimilate.
all it has to do is cough in a pack train station to infect a cart, and just kept doing so.
cough on a doorknob, to infect the rest of the people that don't wash their hands.
cough on a plate of food if it was the chef, etc.

48 hours and every major city would be fucked, that's all it needs.

yeah the ocean and basically any flying creature and it already infected a major area.
fisherman taking over a load of tuna's, everyone that gets in contact of those fishes and they'll be infected.

>it doesn't have to turn into a grotesque monster to assimilate.
>all it has to do is cough in a pack train station to infect a cart, and just kept doing so.
Why does it do it's whole body horror thing then? It gets caught in the middle of graphic assimilations at least twice. Why risk that when it could just fart in the wind then play dead while everyone around it turns on each other?

But he is right, the Thing cells may take the form and function of the cells it is imitating, but it has to have something left of itself. If it was a 100% conversions, then the Thing wouldn't be the Thing anymore.

Huh never knew that.
Did the thing ever gassed anyone ala Gyo?

fast assimilation I suppose, and also because it's a horror movie and they made those sweet mechanical puppets/props.

No? From the movie. At no point do they ask personal questions to deduce who it is. They fall back on the blood test

>Lol it can just cough
If this were possible, the movie wouldn’t plot even happen because the cast would immediately be fucked. As seen with the dogs, and several victims, The Thing needs time and a good portion of itself to start assimilation. If it wasn’t the case, he could have spit on people immediately and the film would be over.

So stop giving headcanon buffs to the horror monster to justify it surviving in another more outrageous fiction

I think the people arguing for the Thing winning, are not considering the full extent of what it has to deal with in the DCU. It isn't just superheroes punching and lasering it, for example you also have all sorts of mad scientiests that would create stuff like swarming nanobots targeting Thing cells.

>At no point do they ask personal questions to deduce who it is.

How is that proof that it can't replicate memories?

If they're aware of it, they're going to have to kill a considerable portion of the population, and do the nearly impossible task of tracking every single organic thing it could have possibly made contact with, and fucking obliterate it. It's doable considering the stupid bullshit that comics are capable of, but they'll still have to submit to the fact that they're going to have to do some dirty shit to stop it.

If they're unaware of its existence and it managed to spread across multiple vectors that can travel via land, air, or sea, and it is given a few hours, fuck, a day, to continue its activities, the world is fucking screwed.

I don't think the Thing has a collective intelligence, but maybe a cooperative one, like the Geth. The more cells you have connected to each other, the more processing power they have access to.

That'd explain why a person-shaped Thing can speak, form strategy, and build shit, but a severed limb just scurries like a roach.

What evidence do you have supports it can? You don’t even have solid evidence to support replicating powers, which it can’t

>how fucked would a universe with the strongest superheroes ever be if a shape-shifting horror movie monster invaded it
Not very, dumbass.

all it has to do is send out a single cell into an open wound as displayed in this scene.
youtube.com/watch?v=3qSbYEbtfoY

Maybe single cell infection takes time, or isn't 100% effective. There could be a slim chance your immune system could fight it off.

Fast assimilation isn't subtle, but it only takes a few seconds. Real question is, how would a Thing-like character fair in the DCU, like Alex Mercer? I figure Supes or Captain Atom could vaporize him, but any street level heroes would be a snack.

>Forgets about the scene in the film where they test blood

Fucking moron

That's a hell of a lot more intelligence than a limb should have all things considered, especially since it knows how it should try to keep as low-key as possible until the time is right to kill/infect. The fact that Dog Thing was able to perform a threat assessment and get rid of the dogs because it could sniff him out when before it was acting disturbingly calm and collected before that already shows that it doesn't need to be human-sized to be as intelligent as a human, the damn thing was constructing an escape ship out of scrap for fuck sakes.

it follows speech pasterns that the original host has, and at no point does anyone catch on that one of them is acting weird unless they turn into a horrifying monster.

>Fast assimilation isn't subtle, but it only takes a few seconds.
Seems to take at least several minutes since it gets caught in the act

>all it has to do is cough

Every instance of the Thing assimilating something in the movies shows it as a very visible, traumatic and painful process that at best takes a few minutes, and that's when a Thing of enough mass can overpower the victim. Hell, Bennings-Thing even shows that during the assimilation, the Thing actually is very weak and defenseless.

Yes, arguably a Thing could infect you using very little biomass, perhaps even one single cell. But considering the way it works, but taking over every cell on the target organism, it would take a ton of time and the person would certainly notice that something odd is going on with his/her body.

>Fast assimilation isn't subtle, but it only takes a few seconds.

That never happens in the films.

Does the thing even have emotions tho? If it doesn't an empath like Raven would be able to tell. Also couldn't a telepathy read it's mind?

>but they'll still have to submit to the fact that they're going to have to do some dirty shit to stop it

That's why in the end it would be supervillains beating the Thing, not the heroes.

Blood testing scene. Dude gets mauled to death and his corpse starts growling. He was down maybe 90 seconds.

He wasn't even close to finished assimilating and 90 seconds is a great deal more than "a few seconds"

That’s because as a dog it had an entire day to watch how they spoke/interacted. It can’t tell them who the person it’s imitating’s mother.

The process was only starting. You were seeing a twitch in the nervous system. It wasn’t instaneous hence why it was cooked

Don't move the goalposts faggot. It's a lot less than several minutes. Windows took about 70 seconds to become a Thing

It shows that in the computer scene.

>But considering the way it works, but taking over every cell on the target organism, it would take a ton of time and the person would certainly notice that something odd is going on with his/her body.

that is actually a pretty good point, how would a person or organism react if it was getting slowly assimilated?
would the thing infect the brain first to perhaps stop the infected person from noticing?
all it has to do is get in the persons bloodstream then assimilate the brain and other body parts first.

You would have a point if the Windows-Thing was up and running after that, but it could barely even move, the assimilation clearly wasn't anywhere near being finished.

I'd argue we see 3 different types of infection in the film

Cellular Infection: Only theoretical, could take hours or days
Private Infection: Takes several minutes but makes a flawless copy
Violent Infection: Only takes a minute or so, but makes deformed Necromorph Cronenburgs

Which is why typical vectors for disease, mosquitoes, mites, mice, and lice are going to make sure that it can be propagated throughout the human population without anyone being none the wiser. There will be no telltale signs that it is making anyone sick and nothing to give an indication that something is amiss until it is too late.

>It shows that in the computer scene.

Problem is, Blair's simulation kinda sucks, Carpenter himself admits they didn't get right how the Thing is supposed to work.

And YOU are forgetting why they couldn't just use a microscope. Thing-cells and the human cells they have replaced LOOK IDENTICAL.

Yes, the Thing cells will drop that imitation if they feel under threat, like burning the blood as a test. But unless Superman just runs around lasering the shit out of people he can't tell the difference.

You're going the right way for a smacked bottom

Isn't that what was happening to the guy who got sick? It'd work like a regular infection, and as it hijacked your organs you'd eventually die, after which it puppets around your corpse, which I suppose is more like a giant cancer at that point

Superman can look into your DNA, breh. Like others have mentions, while Thing cells may look identical to the human cells, there has to be *something* left of the Thing, or else it wouldn't be a Thing anymore.

Now I remember where RE2 Remake got that Ivy instadeath movie from.

>Violent Infection: Only takes a minute or so, but makes deformed Necromorph Cronenburgs
The cronenbergs are just transitional/attack forms. All the prfect copies turn into cronenbergs once they're found out

>Isn't that what was happening to the guy who got sick?

Who? The only sick person I recall in the movie was Norris, and it was a heart condition.

>There will be no telltale signs that it is making anyone sick
The fat guy was clearly sick and died from a heart attack when infected.

There are literal fucktons of supers made of energy the thing could even assimilate and the latern corps and if batautism or luther hasn't already made a counter to this scenario and the countless magic users or telepaths or anyone with time manipulation going back and warning everyone. Not even to mention if Supes magically "has an immunity to it" for no reason. Face it the thing would be fucked there's a million different ways it could lose and only very specific circumstances that it could win under mainly because it's going into a world where people routinely have to fight things that wipe out entire universes not just planets.

The Thing is a massive influence on the RE series in general

He had a bad heart before being infected, the Thing inherited that with the assimilation.

All memes aside, I'm infinitely grateful for Rick and Morty popularizing us the "Cronenburgs" naming, whether or not the coined it themselves.

I know the Thing canonically can create Ben10 alien limbs for different situations, but they never really look "alien" if you get my meaning. It usually just looks like teeth flesh and bone, rather than scales or chitin

Or was he infected on a cellular level, didn't know about it, and only collapsed because the infection had finally spread to his heart?

The 2011 prequel actually had some parts where the limbs were insectoid

>I know the Thing canonically can create Ben10 alien limbs for different situations, but they never really look "alien" if you get my meaning. It usually just looks like teeth flesh and bone, rather than scales or chitin
is it possible the Thing can only use its host's DNA as a means of 'inspiration'

The head of the Norris-Thing while trying to escape, sprouts crab-like legs and a pair of unearthly eyestalks.

Nah, Norris was 100% a Thing, else what happens immediately after the heart attack wouldn't be possible.

Not the mention the grisle as it's neck detaches is green for some reason

The Green Lanterns sealed Earth during Rotworld to prevent the Rot from spreading to the outer space. And the Rot essentially spread by contagion like the Thing.
What's gonna prevent them from doing that?

Also, the Parliaments are gonna kick its' shit in once the Thing tries to take over the red, the green and the grey.
Besides, there's psychics and dudes that can read auras and souls and other shit. And not even talking about androids, supernatural beings that aren't made of flesh, energy beings and wahtnot.
The thing is not that OP when it comes to worlds that have dealt against stuff like Starro, the Rot or anything supernatural that corrupts living beings.

It would be if the thing was incubating inside him the whole time. He could've been like 50% thing before the strain got too much for his body

Anywhere from 95% to 100% of the time a "what if a non Yea Forums related thing was a Yea Forums related thing" thread is created, it's for the sole purpose of discussing things that are neither comics, nor cartoons.
Yea Forums is not a refugee board.
Go back to Everyone else, report the OP for breaking >>>Yea Forumsrules/1

Well guess what, people would still be none the wiser because the natural assumption would be that anyone dying would be dying of natural causes. If you saw an old guy on the street and he's clutching his chest before he passed, you wouldn't go "Oh fuck, it's the Thing!".

Thing is dangerous but honestly it isn't the first shapeshifter. Hell it can't even survive cold without hybernating or high flames, so it's below a Durlan which is a shapeshifting alien known to even survive the vacuum of space.

That being said Thing would work as a Doom Patrol 2-3 part story enemy. Or Animal Man like that other user suggested.

Generally when lots of people start getting sick at once we start to panic over possible epidemics

Head and his entire central mass were Thing, you can see it in the movie.

It's not "a lot of people getting sick", others were turned without going through a 'sickness' phase. Norris was already an unhealthy fuck even prior to his infection, so no one assumed anything until he grew his fucking stomach mouth right in front of their eyes.

same thing happens when someone wants to drop the Cthulhu mythos into DC or Marvel.

Carpenter's Thing is unstoppable in a mundane world. Drop it into a world with telepaths, spiritualists, microscopic vision, shapeshifters, and literal champions of God and the Things lose what makes them special, they're no longer a unique threat.

They could still be a real challenge. Depending on how the author handles them, they could get a foothold before the heroes had a chance to viably respond. Or they're unlucky and Dr Fate detects a spiritual threat, warns Supes who spots the Mcmurdo Station infestation and Heat Visions the entire site from orbit.

Even if the heroes are late to the threat, you have Flash or Hourman or Spectre go back in time and rewrite history.

>life starts growing out of control
Assuming the green is immune to the Thing (because we haven't seen it infect plant life), as soon as the Parliament of Trees realizes what the fuck is going on; either them or the Black or the fungi are going to show up and kick the Thing's shit in.
Then it's just the matter of some non-organic hero finding a way to revert it with time travel like Buddy Baker did in Rotworld.

Guys, are we sure the Thing isn't a freak survivor of the Martian equivalent of a pygmy caveman?

Why does he keep coming back?

You're acting as if infesting the whole mundane population of Earth means shit. Newsflash: it doesn't. Not against people who fuck with time on a regular basis, even assuming they can't just engineer a cure for a mere alien parasite.

In short you're putting a biosphere-eating threat (that is interpreting everything about the Thing maximally favorably to it) against a team who have dealt with more Universe-eating threats than I can remember without checking. The mismatch is obvious.

Saying "they deal with Universe-eating threats" means shit without context, because you're not taking into account the various times they've eaten shit, outright died, or needed help from higher powers to make sure they made that Hail Mary pass and win, don't make it seem like it's easy thing for them without considering everything that happens up to that point.

Just because Batman helps the Justice League defeat threats well above his pay grade doesn't mean some two-bit thug with a gun and a lucky shot is no longer a threat to him. The flu can potentially take him out, not even counting the Thing's infection.

The thing is the perfrct organism. If it landed in any place that was populated by life of any sort, by the time it ws noticed by heroes it would have already breached the threshold necessary for total global assimilation

I'm starting to believe no one in this board reads comics. Superman would just throw the thing into the sun because its cells are different from a human's. Flash would just murder it before it starts to attack and so on, I doubt the thing can replicate the JL's strenght in the movie it just used its own strenght to kill the people at the base.

The DC universe is a comics universe so the superheroes can just punch it to win.

I was calling The Thing shit and pointing out the mismatch though

They don’t. This is horrorfag(s) throwing another tantrum

Good read into the abilities of the Thing, also psychology

>A short story submitted to a science fiction magazine
The fuck is this nonsense?

Batman is the most powerful DC hero, if he gets compromised, everyone else is fucked.

Well, it screams in pain when being burned, and during the famous couch scene, the guy who was the thing kinda made an exasperated facial expression when he knew he was rumbled. So... I guess? Probably not emotions like ours though, and the emotions displayed may be affected by the type of host.

>and during the famous couch scene, the guy who was the thing kinda made an exasperated facial expression when he knew he was rumbled.
Looked like he stopped making expressions altogether. It actually seemed to do that whenever it got found out. As the dog it got perfectly still, when they were going to execute it in the snow it just went blank and howled at them, and then the couch scene.

What if the thing infected superman?

It can’t. Kryptonian cells are ridiculous. Even if it could, it wouldn’t have his powers
