Man-Thing left Earth and went into space, where he became stranded on Sakaar. There he was imprisoned by the Grandmaster and was forced to fight in his Contest of Champions.

==Personality==
Despite Ted's monstrous appearance, he is a kind and caring to those close to him, as seen with his relationship with Jack Russell, where they both take care of each other. He's also kind to the people who do not approach him with fear or evil intentions, and address him by his human name. According to Jack, Ted has a habit of going out into the open and getting himself into trouble due to being a monster despite assuring his friend that he'll be careful.
But; when Ted is mistreated or approached by people who want to harm him, he has been shown to be brutally vengeful. This was seen with the killings of Joshua Jovan and Verussa Bloodstone; who both wanted to harm him.
