Ted’s friend, the free-spirited girl Sainte-Cloud, convinces him to denounce the Project, shutting it down before any serum was produced. Ted proposes to Sainte-Cloud, but she refuses due to their many differences. Returning to teaching, Sallis falls in love with one of his students, Ellen Brandt, a naive and impassioned girl of nineteen; the two elope following a secret affair.

Toy Biz released a Man-Thing action figure in their Marvel Legends line in 2005. [ citation needed] Now, while the build and sculpt of the main frame are both impressive, some of the best work of this figure comes in the TWO heads, and the swappable hands. Now, the brows aren’t quite as prominent as I would prefer, and one head has teeth showing, which is normally a no-no for me, but damn it, both heads have so much personality, it is hard not to love them. My default will be the closed mouth version as it has that brooding Ben Grimm look that I love, but for action shots, I am surprisingly perfectly fine with the teeth, and the ferociousness they bring out in the expression. The blue eyes are, of course, very important, and they look great on both heads. Hey, it is good to have options.
