How to Counter The Thing
The Thing cannot be knocked back, so don't waste displacement on him; keep your distance instead, because Rocky Jab reaches 4 m and Stone Haymaker 8 m. Peni Parker and other heroes who lay down zones or fight from range make it hard for him to walk in while Yancy Street Charge is on its 12-second cooldown. Count his 2 shared leap charges: once both go into Battle Blitz, he has no fast way back to his team until one returns 10 seconds later.
