The Thing at 500 lbs seems to light. He's only 6' tall but supposedly weighs roughly 3X the size of an ordinary man. There's no actual science to that imagined rocky body, so the actual density and durability/strength could be whatever they want to dream up. I don't think weight (or even height for that matter) is even the right meaurement though, a 7 to 7 1/12 foot massively muscled real person couldn't do the tiniest fraction of what the Hulk can do. His bulk is imposing, but he's got Superman-ish metahuman stuff going on. The Thing and Hulk aren't just "big guys". I was thinking about the Thing crushing or breaking things when he sits on them. But yeah, superhero biology isn't something to think to hard about. |

The Thing at 500 lbs seems to light. I think the Hulk changes size with each artist. Steranko's Hulk was at least 9 ft tall. Does Hulk’s measurements change also when he is angry or just his strength? I don't think it was every portrayed that way. But when you write it....  |

The first thing though that came to mind for me is that the Thing does catch cabs in NYC, and here's an example from Thing #5 where they even acknowledge his weight at 500 pounds:  |

Cei-U! I summon the ticket refund I should've asked for!
