Description Here's Man-Thing as a Lantern of Fear. Personally, I'm not a fan of Man-Thing, he's too much like Swamp Thing and he's not really used in the Marvel Universe. As you can tell, I try to make more popular or well-known characters for these Lanterns, but Man-Thing had to be made. Why? Because his whole working off of other's fear is what gives him power.

I do think MT does look wonderful, even though I lacked many 'swampy' colors, but I enjoy how mine turned out. I hope you all enjoy!

I just realized....This would be a horrible pick for man thing in the comics! Fear causes him unimaginable pain, so he would be in agony as a yellow lantern! I think that he would be better fit as a member of the indigo tribe, due to his empathic nature

I can see where your coming from, but wouldn't he be in constant pain?

I don't know if I understand what you're asking...He/It actually has the natural ability to secrete a vapor that causes his foe to see their greatest fears, so with that, I decided he'd be a Lantern of Fear. Plus, he's pretty spooky looking.

Yes, but the only way it can happen if they fear him. Fear also makes him experience pain and thats why he attacks random people.

I've read a bit about him plus his run with the new Thunderbolts, but I understand the philosophy behind how 'human' he is has been debated. I'm guessing with the Fear power, he/it would be in constant pain, which would add an interesting layer to the already complex character of Man-Thing.

I love him in the new Thundebolts. I've never really heared of the Thunderbolts until I played MUA2. Then I heared of there line up for the heroic age. I thought it was awesome, but I was skeptical about Man-thing. Now, he's awesome. He's so interesting (Even though he dose almost nothing)

So true. Hey, I've been out of Thunderbolts for a bit (Trust me, I plan on catching up, but what happened to Crossbones? Is he gone? I noticed he has a solo series coming up...)

loser018 In reply to toonartist [2011-03-10 12:05:54 +0000 UTC]

Crossbones got some tangien mist type of thing to the face and had the power to shoot flames from his face. This led to my favorit line in 150. "I don't need to kill you with a gun. I am a gun!" Anyways, he lost that ability later in the issue (pick that issue up if you havn't) Now he's all crazy and thats why the Thunderbolts need a new member. What I didn't know is that he's getting his own Solo?

I think I stopped at 149, so I'll definitely pick up 150 and so forth.

Yeah, I checked Marvel.com and there's a new series called "Crossbones" with his skulled-face mug on the first issue, so I guess that's where he's going...(It's a shame, I did like him in T-Bolts)

loser018 In reply to toonartist [2011-03-21 23:16:02 +0000 UTC]

Why dose he need a series. I think he's a lot better as a Villain or a supporting character then a main character.

That's so true. Plus, I'm surprised to see how fast the Thunderbolts were to dropping him. Personally, he was one of those reasons I picked up the new Thunderbolts.

loser018 In reply to toonartist [2011-03-22 22:33:32 +0000 UTC]

Well, if you read issue 150 it makes since why they dropped him. The reason I started Thunderbolts was because of Juggernaut.

toonartist In reply to loser018 [2011-03-23 02:22:38 +0000 UTC]

Still need to get that issue...

I won't lie, it was the factor of the entire team being the reason for getting into the T-Bolts. I did get really interested with Juggernaut's inclusion, but Crossbones was one of those dealbreakers for me.

Really? i would have never guessed? Why him?

I like the threat that he poses with 'killing' Captain America. I wished they would have played with his 'can't really trust him' concept or his loose cannon persona, but there was something about that weight that he holds that made him interesting.

I won't lie though, Juggernaut's inclusion was pretty sweet as well. It sucks that they weakened him with the nanites...

loser018 In reply to toonartist [2011-03-23 21:10:23 +0000 UTC]

I see your point. Crossbones was a good Yang while everyone was trying to be Ying. He also kept everyone on there toes. It made things interesting. But, again, read 150! I know I've said this a thousand times but it was a good issue.

Also, Juggernaut lost a small amount of his power after he lost the power of Captain Universe.

Yeah, I see your point. Crossbones was that lose cannon that had the team on there toes. Again, and yes I will say it again, pick up 150.

Plus, Juggernaut lost a fraction of his powers when he got the power of Captain Universe.

This guy turned out awesome. Especially after watching the Man-Thing movie (though it totally F-s up the original story and OTHER things that are ridiculous about the movie that will go on-commented upon ) I think the colors worked.

Thanks! I think he turned out to be quite a success, but the only bad thing is Man-Thing doesn't get too much hype. I am enjoying his existence in the new Thunderbolts. Maybe you should check it out!

Man thing! Never thought you'd do this one! Hah, perfect as a yellow lantern. Nicely added into him without too much yellow!

Loving these lanterns, keep it up!

I think Man-Thing has a lot of potential, but the whole lacking communication just doesn't work out for him. (Honestly, I never remember him from anything...I do know he's a part of the current Thunderbolts team, but that's about it)
