InThunderbolts # 2 , written by Jim Zub with prowess by Sean Izaakse , the newly - formed Thunderbolts receive an alert : a mental disturbance is reported at the Met and assistance is requested . Asteam loss leader Hawkeye and his Thunderboltsburst through the door , the squad excrete by a sign which reads"Here Be monster : The Sculptures of Alicia Masters" . Masters is the well - love blind carving artist and the married woman of the matter ( as of 2018 ’s wedding ceremony effect ) , but she does a megascopic ill service to her hubby thanks to the title of the showing .

Alicia is the Thing ’s longtime married person , but the championship of her exhibit could elicit buried feelings from Ben . It ’s entirely possible that one of the sculptures in the showing is of the Thing , and he would n’t take kindly to the title of " monster " affiliate with his human face . Then again , the title could be used ironically , since the Thing is a superheroand the farthermost thing from a devil . Ben hasfoughtmonsters ; he himself is not one , and the ease of the Fantastic Four stand by him whenever he is called one by passersby or the medium .

The sign is never referenced again inThunderbolts # 2 , but future Fantastic Four taradiddle could come after up on the exhibit . Alicia Masters is a tragically underused character - theThing’sown miniseries in 2021 even chronicle his abbreviated fourth dimension separate from herbefore their famous marriage- and she ought to take middle stage in succeeding stories . TheFantastic Four’smost democratic Hero of Alexandria is not a monster , even if those who do n’t cognise him consider him to be one .
