Okay but this is like so integral to Ben Grimm as a character. This contradiction Ben Grimm will never fully turn back because he feels a responsibility to stay as the thing. Being a superhero lets him look out for the little guy and his background informs his decision to do so. This is something I think Hickman explores so well in his run when Grimm gets to change back for only a one day a year something he doesn’t hesitate to do because it means he gets the best of both worlds. Then of course galactus shows and all his worst fears are confirmed
oh yeah, being inconsistent is a huge part of ben’s personality. about the same situation he will feel one way and then later some other way. he’ll say one thing and then some other completely different thing some other time. it’s all a contradiction! but that’s just Ben and it’s hilarious
