AKA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_and_Barney_Meet_The_Thing
Despite the title, this series was actually NOT a crossover.
"Despite the show's title, the two segments remained separate and did not crossover with one another. The characters of Fred Flintstone, Barney Rubble and The Thing were only featured together during the opening title sequence and in brief bumpers between segments. The unusual combination of a Marvel superhero and The Flintstones was possible because, at this time, Marvel Comics owned the rights to several Hanna-Barbera franchises and were, in fact, publishing comic books based upon them; The Flintstones was one of these."
And as some of you may have observed, I got a few calcs done related to this series:
https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan/The_Thing_lifts_a_portion_of_the_mountai
https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Mr._Bambu/Marvel_Animated_Calc:_Just_Punching_Lightning
https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:TataHakai/The_Thing_sends_a_Puck_Into_Space
As you can tell by those calcs, this The Thing isn't quite consistent, being somewhere between City Block Level & Multi City Block Level+. Also, other than the dubious feat of surviving being hit by a storm's lightning repeatedly -he was in contact to punch it & he may just be immune to or able to manipulate it... maybe?- & I think fighting a duplicate, he lacks basis for durability.
Anyway, this incarnation of The Thing is still pretty notable, IMHO. And outside of the intro & bumpers, he's not really a crossover character.
(Also, he's the only incarnation of The Thing to be a teenaged transforming/"henshin-ing" superhero, but maybe let's get to that later, eh? May make it worth considering what to name the profile, though....)
So. Would there be any issue with a profile for this golden oldie pile o' rocks? (Also, I'm pretty new to how we work with Marvel/DC stuff, so hoo boy.)
(Hopefully this is the right board for this.)
