The head scientist of Project Glamor's inhumane experiments in creating Super-Soldiers, and no less morally bankrupt than required for the job. When Railsback has one failed experiment too many, his superiors phase him out as head scientist, and use him as a test-subject for the refined process. This bit them in the ass when the already depraved doctor became a hulking, horrifically deformed beast with inhuman strength and a lust for revenge.

[[caption-width-right:350:Whatever knows fear burns at the touch of... the Man-Thing!]]
Man-Thing is a powerful swamp creature and guardian of the Nexus of all Realities. He was once human and turned himself into a monster as a last act of defense and a way too avoid his serum falling in the wrong hands.
----
* AchillesHeel: Man-Thing's is being dried out.
* AcidAttack: His most iconic power; when driven to true aggression by the presence of fear, his body secretes a highly caustic chemical that allows him to lethally burn whatever he touches.
* AscendedMeme: In ''Thunderbolts'', a mystical transformation Man-Thing goes through, combined with the events of ''Comicbook/FearItself'', temporarily turn him into a literal "Giant Size Man-Thing"; he is even called such by Songbird. It's not the [[http://www.comicvine.com/man-thing/29-4988/all-images/108-211172/manthing1997gs/105-1900064/ first time]] the meme's ascended, either.
* BodyHorror: The transformation that turned Sallis into Man-Thing. Not only did he lose his mind, he lost all physical form, Man-Things body isn't flesh and bone, it's just swamp muck, roots and other vegetative detritus in humanoid shape.
* CameBackWrong: Beyond a shadow of a doubt. It's made quite clear that there is ''nothing'' left of Sallis beyond a few vague and dreamy memories that are usually locked away in the depths of Man-Thing's skull, and the few occasions when Sallis' mind is restored are so traumatic that reverting Man-Thing to mindlessness is treated as the only moral thing to do so long as a physical cure remains out of reach.
* ComboPlatterPowers: The Man-Thing has quite a variety of powers after his transformation, including empathy, a HealingFactor, [[AcidAttack acidic sweat]], NighInvulnerability, CombatTentacles, {{Teleportation}} and SuperStrength. In 2021's ''Curse of the Man-Thing'' event, he can also perform SummonMagic.
* CreepyGood: Almost everyone who meets him is at the very least disturbed by Man-Things appearance and behavior, but he is firmly on the side of good, if only by chance, as his power tends to target evildoers. Man-Thing itself has little understanding of good or evil, just that evil hurts it, and that makes it ''angry!''
* {{Cthulhumanoid}}: In appearance at least, since his "face" is framed by several large root-tentacles, and a rare heroic example.
* DealWithTheDevil: In the 2021 ''Curse of the Man-Thing'' event, it turns out Sallis made contacted one of the Hells and made a deal with Belasco to help with the super-soldier serum. This would lead to the creation of the Man-Thing.
* ElementalEmbodiment: Man-Thing is the incarnate elemental spirit of the swamp he lives in.
* TheEmpath: Man-Thing's main form of interpersonal interaction is his ability to sense emotions, which triggers an instinctive response.
* EmptyShell: What Dr. Sallis becomes after his transformation into Man-Thing.
* FreakLabAccident: While working in a swamp trying to recreate ComicBook/CaptainAmerica's super-soldier serum, Dr. Ted Sallis is betrayed and injects himself in an attempt to escape, but crashes into the swamp where he is transformed...
* HealingFactor: As long as he is in the presence of moisture.
* HealingFactor: Because his "flesh" is just algae and moss draped over a flexible root-based skeleton, he can swiftly regrow any bits that get blasted away or chopped off.
* LawyerFriendlyCameo: "The Prison Without Walls", an episode of the ''[[WesternAnimation/DungeonsAndDragons Dungeons & Dragons]]'' cartoon penned by Creator/SteveGerber after his fallout with Marvel, features a Shambling Mound (a monster from the tabletop game derived from Man-Thing, Swamp Thing and The Heap) which has been visually redesigned to clearly reference Man-Thing himself.
** Man-Thing frequently appears as one of the members of the Parliament of Trees in ''ComicBook/SwampThing''.
* LogicalWeakness: He burns anyone who feels fear. This of course means that if something can make Man-Thing feel even a flicker of fear than he'll be immolated by his own powers. He's actually died this way ''twice''.
* PlantPerson: Light on the 'person', but Man-Thing counts as one, if only in the sense that he's a mobile plant in a vaguely humanoid shape.
* NatureHero: By virtue of living in and defending a swamp.
* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: Man-Thing frequently crosses paths with alligators, although it usually turns out badly for them. Eventually they start to avoid him like the plague.
* NighInvulnerability: Man-Thing has the HealingFactor and FeelNoPain combination; because his body-mass is all slimy plant-muck, he doesn't feel any damage when his body is struck and quickly replaces any bio-matter that's scoured away by attackers. He's been blown to pieces and regenerated fully (though that takes a bit longer).
* NominalHero: The Man-Thing doesn't really ''intend'' to do anything heroic, being a mindless and instinct-driven abomination. It's simply good fortune that its instincts and empathic nature cause it to violently lash out at anything causing/feeling fear and that evil hurts it like a burning brand in the brain, driving it to attack the truly monstrous. When not embroiled in some adventure, Man-Thing will usually just ignore the people around it, even allies. It simply lacks the capacity to form human bonds.
* PullingThemselvesTogether: Almost every Man-Thing combat seems to involve pieces coming off... and then clumping back into shape.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: For those who know fear burn at the Man-thing's touch! And there is plenty of reason to be afraid of an ugly nigh infinitely regenerating giant with super human strength and corrosive secretions who does not want you in its swamp.
* TheSpeechless: Out of necessity, seeing as how Man-Thing has no mouth.
* StevenUlyssesPerhero: See MeaningfulName above.
* SufficientlyAnalyzedMagic: In the 2021 ''Curse of the Man-Thing'' event, Man-Thing is as much a product of this as Salli's expertise in bio-chemistry. It turns out that he actually couldn't come up with the maths for his super-soldier serum. His calculations kept coming out wrong, so in despair he conjures up Belasco and makes a deal with him. Belasco gives him a string of calculations involving supernatural maths and this completes the serum.
* SuperStrength: Man-Thing has immense strength, well beyond that of a human being.
* TookALevelInBadass: Man-Thing's burning touch against "anyone that feels fear", has been upgraded from mundane acid sweat to being an EXTREMELY powerful supernatural ability. Man-Thing roasted a rogue Hyperion in their days with the Thunderbolts and more recently a miniature sproutling of Man-Thing's, Boy-Thing was able to harm [[ComicBook/ThePunisher Frank Castle]] the [[ComicBook/GhostRider Cosmic Ghost Rider]] who was possessing the [[CosmicEntity armour of a Prime Celestial]].
* UniversalLanguage: Is able to speak it at the end of his Thunderbolts appearances, which carries into his more recent ''Red She-Hulk'' appearances.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: A pretty far example, but still noteworthy. He ended up meeting ''[[ComicBook/SpiderMan Curt Connors]]'' back when he was in the hospital for the loss of his arm and the two talked about Ted's attempts for the super-soldier serum. He was also vital for Connors' cell regeneration research, which is what would lead Connors to the path that would eventually lead him to becoming the Lizard. Given what happens to Ted after he joins Project Gladiator, both men suffer alot.
* WasOnceAMan: Until he tried to keep a recreated version of ComicBook/CaptainAmerica's SuperSoldier serum away from foreign spies. Cornered and with no options left, he injected the serum into himself, moments before the spies gunned him down. The serum, combined with the mystical energies of the swamp, transformed the scientist into a shambling, mindless monstrosity.
* WeirdnessMagnet: It's not so much him as his habitat, but since Man-Thing's swamp is a Nexus Of Realities, not to mention saturated with mystical energy, weird and strange things tend to pop up there more often than not.
* WhenTreesAttack: Man-Thing fights one infected with a personification of hate.
* WipeThatSmileOffYourFace: Man-Thing's "face" can only be described as rudimentary; it has three roots forming a crude frame of a face, and two large, staring eyes, but no semblance of a mouth.

[[caption-width-right:350:Whatever knows fear burns at the touch of... the Man-Thing!]]
Man-Thing is a powerful swamp creature and guardian of the Nexus of all Realities. He was once human and turned himself into a monster as a last act of defense and a way too avoid his serum falling in the wrong hands.
----
* AchillesHeel: Man-Thing's is being dried out.
* AcidAttack: His most iconic power; when driven to true aggression by the presence of fear, his body secretes a highly caustic chemical that allows him to lethally burn whatever he touches.
* AscendedMeme: In ''Thunderbolts'', a mystical transformation Man-Thing goes through, combined with the events of ''Comicbook/FearItself'', temporarily turn him into a literal "Giant Size Man-Thing"; he is even called such by Songbird. It's not the [[http://www.comicvine.com/man-thing/29-4988/all-images/108-211172/manthing1997gs/105-1900064/ first time]] the meme's ascended, either.
* BodyHorror: The transformation that turned Sallis into Man-Thing. Not only did he lose his mind, he lost all physical form, Man-Things body isn't flesh and bone, it's just swamp muck, roots and other vegetative detritus in humanoid shape.
* CameBackWrong: Beyond a shadow of a doubt. It's made quite clear that there is ''nothing'' left of Sallis beyond a few vague and dreamy memories that are usually locked away in the depths of Man-Thing's skull, and the few occasions when Sallis' mind is restored are so traumatic that reverting Man-Thing to mindlessness is treated as the only moral thing to do so long as a physical cure remains out of reach.
