I would definitely go with The Thing of the Fantastic Four. Not only is Ben/The Thing smart (come on, he's a scientist), but he has a good sense of humor, and could kick just about anyone's butt. He'd be a handy friend to have around in a stitch, but he'd also be fun to hang out with. Plus, maybe, just maybe, Johnny would come around every once in a while to hang out with us too... —Alyson
