Every Rocky Jab deals splash damage, and every Stone Haymaker creates an explosion, dealing damage in a frontal cone. Enhanced Effect: When teaming up with Human Torch, Human Torch can lift The Thing into the air and slam him down, dealing damage and Stun to enemies. The Thing then automatically enters his flaming enhanced state upon landing.
