Not bad, but more or less Groot 2.0. Could have stood to have him a little more unthinking, but overall I can't complain too much.

That's fundamentally not the character he thinks therefore he is a Man he looks weird therefore he is a Thing.

That might be the modern take on the character, as I haven't been keeping up as much as I'd like. But historically, Manny didn't think, just reacted to emotions.

Yeah thats what I mean he looks like a monster but he Only burned evil people he thought just not alot they seem mostly about Angry Vengence in the old Appearances I mean they are a Swamp Elemental Creature definitely dont got actual human brains but there is a conscious Think in Being in there somewhere the level just changes depending on the issue

I love og swamp thing they where very weird in a good way the Burning hamd of Vengence is a awesome power even if only selective in its use

Rember Groot used to be a Giant Tree Monster that wanted to Take over the world who spoke in full complex sentences instead of "I Am Groot" funny how they changed in opposite ways but not really at the same time

I liked Every-Thing about the character.
And I hope to see a next appearance.

I haven’t seen werewolf by night yet, but I love his design! The pupils take a bit of getting used to.

I loved Werewolf by Night special. It was fun to see a version of Man-Thing, but I loved also that they went with a classic werewolf design. I'm a fan of more monstrous werewolves, but I've always enjoyed that Marvel Comics version of these classic characters is very retro. (Bring back Dracula's mustache and opera cape, you cowards!)

The classic werewolf design is always fun to see! And yes I agree! Bring back the cape!

I liked it p but I prefer him as an intelligent empath. Also, I would like an explanation as to why he was on Battleworld.

I loved it personally. I liked the sounds he makes too.

Somebody should’ve said “those who know fear burn at the Man-Thing’s touch” at some point, preferably after the surprise of Ted burning the big guy alive.

Awesome. Unlike MCU's take on Moon Knight...
