Thing And Human Torch Might Not Be Friends After Fantastic Four #6

In the world of the Fantastic Four, the Thing and Human Torch have always been kind of like brothers. They’d give each other a hard time and even scuffle on occasion, but they’d settle their differences in the end and go back to being friends.

In the wake of Original Sin though, all bets are off, including the ones on whether Thing and the Torch will still be on speaking terms after the secrets formerly protected by the late Uatu start to be revealed in Fantastic Four #6. Specifically, the FF will have to deal with one that involves Reed Richards and his inability to cure Ben Grimm of his rocky curse.

Could Johnny Storm have accidentally ruined Reed’s one chance to turn Ben human — and then lied about it to boot?
