Friday Night Fights--Herald Style!!

OK, so Ultron didn't get a single vote last week? Then it's time to bring out the big guns!! No more Daredevil and some Inhumans fighting an indestructible but confused robot...oh, no.

This week, we're going heavy duty...as we feature Benjamin J. Grimm versus--

Tyros the Terrible!! Tyros the Tyrant!! The former herald of Galactus!! The Villain Formerly Known As Terrax The Tamer!!!

Now in this titanic tussle, we know that Aunt Petunia's favorite nephew is going to get in a powerful blow...

...but that miscreant Spacebooger has declared that this set of Friday Night Fights must feature Villainous Victories, so Tyros is going to respond...with power!!


Now, Tyros has been secretly re-empowered by Doctor Doom*, so you know he's tough...how tough?

That's right--even by Ben's own estimate, he almost bought it. And Ben had better fear the reaper:


OUCH, my brethren...OUCH!!

Now if that doesn't deserve at least a few votes, I don't know what does...

*Editor's note: Have you noticed that this is two weeks in a row that snell has featured heroes getting whooped by villains secretly empowered by Doctor Doom? Is there perhaps a theme brewing here? Only time will tell, true believers....

John Byrne, John Byrne, and John Byrne bring us a butt whooping of cosmic proportions in Fantastic Four #259 (1983).

SPECIAL BONUS--this has always been one of my favorite panels of the Thing:

Don't ask me why...but Byrne grokked how the Thing should look interacting with the real world...
