Character Bio: Who is Man-Thing?
Man-Thing, whose real name is Dr. Theodore “Ted” Sallis, is a fascinating character within the Marvel Universe.
He was created by the minds of writers Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, and Gerry Conway, and artist Gray Morrow, and made his first appearance in the comic-book “Savage Tales #1” in 1971.
In the Man-Thing story arc, Ted Sallis is a biochemist working on a super-soldier serum similar to the one that created Captain America.
When an attempt on his life is made Ted escapes into the Florida Everglades, where he injects himself with the serum in the hope of saving his research.
However, the combination of the serum and the mystical properties of the swamp transformed him into the monstrous Man-Thing.
Man-Thing possesses extraordinary powers, including superhuman strength, the ability to heal rapidly, and an empathic ability that causes him to burn those who feel fear.
His connection to the Nexus of All Realities, a gateway to various dimensions, adds to his mystical and intriguing nature.
