==Summary==
The Thing is the titular main antagonist and the name given to the hostile alien creature of the movie "The Thing" by John Carpenter. The movie is an adaptation of the book "Who Goes there?" written by John W. Campbell in 1938. The Thing is an alien life-form capable of assimilating and then perfectly mimicking other lifeforms. Each cell is programed to seek out the cells of other lifeforms. These cells are then devoured, the DNA assimilated, and then mimicked to create a copy so perfect, that even creatures with heightened senses, such as dogs, do not recognize a threat.

|-|Individual Cells=Small Size (Type 3), Possession, Absorption, Duplication and Biological Manipulation (A single thing cell is capable of taking over an entire organismThe Thing (1982) can absorb other organisms into itself), Power Mimicry (If the power is biological or genetic in nature, the Thing should gain those powers during assimilation), Longevity and Resistance to Ice Manipulation (A thing survived for thousands of years encased in ice), Resistance to Acid Manipulation (It should have this, just like its bioforms)
|-|Thing Bioforms=All previous. Most bioforms have Superhuman Physical Characteristics and possibly Genius Intelligence. Shapeshifting, Body Control, and Natural Weaponry (Things can peel open their face, grow tentacles, Harpoon-like tendrilsThe Thing (2011), large claws, and many more), Small Size (Type 3, 2, 1, and 0. Small things should grant this. Some things can disguise themselves as dogs), Acid Manipulation (Some things have been shown to spew corrosive bileThe Thing (2002)), Stealth Mastery, Large Size (Type 0 and 1. large things tower over the average human with some things reaching colossal sizes), Fusionism, Enhanced Senses (Assimilated a husky, so it should have the enhanced senses of a dog), Regeneration (Low-Mid, Low-High via Assimilation. Can regenerate arms. So long as a single cell lives, the thing can assimilate the cells of other biological organisms to reform itself), Immortality (Type 3), Underwater Breathing (Type 2. Some things live in cold waters.The Thing - The Northman Nightmare Likely doesn't need to breath at all, although this is not completely sure as of yet). Resistance to Acid Manipulation (Can spit acid from inside its body without being affected)

Attack Potency: Below Average Human level (Individual cells can take over and absorb other cells or microscopic organisms) | Varies, from Below Average Human level (Small Things like Blood-Thing should be around this level) to Wall level (Small things like scuttlers are capable of breaking through vent covers, which granted this much energy. Human-sized Things are much stronger than scuttlers, and can bite arms off, stomp through floors, break ropes, and jump into ceilings. Able to broke through wooden walls and break ceilings of the same material) to Small Building level (A large thing broke through a steel wall, which granted this much energy), higher by assimilating enough biomass
Speed: Below Average Human | Varies, from Immobile (Some large thing forms root themselves into the ground) to Below Average Human to Average Human (Can mimic the speed of a normal human) to Superhuman (If it takes the form of the Norwegian dog that it assimilated, should scale to Huskies), higher by assimilating enough biomass
Lifting Strength: Below Average Human | Below Average Human to Superhuman (Can easily move a row of chairs with men on it and jump so high that it made a dent in the ceiling. Large Things are stronger than its human-sized bioforms and easily ragdolls a man as it was ripping him apart), higher by assimilating enough biomass
Striking Strength: Below Average Human level | Varies, from Below Average Human level to Wall level to Small Building level, higher by assimilating enough biomass
Durability: Below Average Human level | Varies, from Below Average Human level (Small things should grant this) to Wall level (Can take a barrage of gunfire) to Small Building level (Should be comparable to attack potency. Generally unphased by small arms fire), higher by assimilating enough biomass. Regeneration makes it incredibly hard to kill (If you don´t destroy every single cell it can absorb other biological matter to regenerate)
Stamina: Superhuman (Can take an incredible amount of damage before going down)
Range: Below Standard Melee Range | Varies, from Below Standard Melee Range to Standard Melee Range to Several Meters (The sheer size of some thing forms should grant this. The tentacles it produces should also grant this) to Tens of Meters (The sheer size of some thing forms should grant this)
Standard Equipment: None notable
Intelligence: Varies from Animalistic to Gifted, possibly Genius. Its intelligence depends entirely on how much mass it currently has and what it has assimilated. Destroyed blood samples to avoid being tested and created a spaceship from scrap.
Weaknesses: Susceptible to fire as it destroys the Thing on a molecular level. Are unable to replicate inorganic matter, such as teeth fillings and jewelry. Smaller masses of cells can often only behave instinctually and will attempt to survive even to the detriment of the larger whole. It tends to go dormant in extremely low temperatures but has no other adverse effects.
