The Wonderful World of Brother Grimm

Visiting children at a campsite, the Thing relates one of his adventures with Hercules:

It all begins with an altercation between the Thing and the Human Torch, then with the arrival of Hercules. Hercules has come to ask for the Thing's help in rescuing Zeus who has been captured by a trio of beasts. Ben recounts his travels to Olympus and their battle against Y'Androgg, Krokarr, and Manduu in Olympus and all their forces. They would send Y'Androgg to plummet to his doom, Manduu would meet its end in a pit of fire, and upon freeing Zeus, the leader of the Olympian gods freezes Krokarr.

Finishing his story, the children ask for another, for which Ben begins telling them of a team-up he had with Iron Man against the Ravagers of Raguu.
