in 1964, an erie, pennsylvania band named "the one-ders" (later known as the wonders) goes from a college talent show to climbing up the billboard charts thanks to the song "that thing you do". written by guitarist/vocalist jimmy mattingly ii, it was originally crafted as a ballad. during the performance at the talent show, drummer guy patterson produces a much more up-tempo beat and the rest of the band follow suit, turning the song into an upbeat, beatles-esque rock number. the song is a hit with the audience, and they win the talent show. from there, the band is picked up by a local manager who helps them get more shows in the area, and eventually the song receives radio airplay. the band is then signed to play-tone records, under mr. white's guidance, and the song climbs up the billboard hot 100, starting at #93, then #71, #49, and #21. the following week, "that thing you do" climbs to #7, becoming the quickest charting song ever on play-tone records. however, jimmy walks out on the band before they can produce another record, so they eventually become one-hit wonders.

bullet::::- roxxon energy corporation had created a spawn of the man-thing as dario agger has its abilities enhanced with the dna of groot. when clayton is in the redwood national forest, dario orders dr. baines to unleash the spawn. roxxon's man-thing attacks clayton who transforms into weapon h. eventually, weapon h sets off the man-thing's immolation ability enough to start a forest fire. when in the presence of sonia sung and dr. ella stirling, weapon h used his power clap to defeat roxxon's man-thing enough to put out the forest fire. this same man-thing was held in a cage with the brood-infected human blake in a roxxon facility as they are freed by weapon h. when it was revealed that roxxon had opened a portal to weirdworld, the man-thing took his leave as blake claims that he will find a pond to settle in. when the skrullduggers emerge from the portal and start attacking the nearby humans, the man-thing and blake assist weapon h in fighting them until it was discovered that the skrullduggers are shapeshifters. after the man-thing secures the defeated skrullduggers, he is later sent with blake to keep more skrullduggers from emerging from the portal. when weapon h and dario later check up on them, it was discovered that they had some help in defeating the skrullduggers from korg. when the man-thing agreed to help in fighting the skrullduggers, blake asked him if he had a human form, which the man-thing does not respond to. as weapon h leads the mission to weirdworld, they are attacked by a tribe of blue-skinned humanoids called the inaku who blame them for breaking the earth and allowing the skrullduggers to take their queen. after weapon h got free and titania knocked protector hara into the protective dome enough to damage it, the man-thing helps to fortify it as korg and titania are assigned to help the man-thing protect the inaku village. when the skrullduggers attack, the man-thing, korg, and titania assist the inaku in defending their fortified village from the skrullduggers until they suddenly go in one direction. the man-thing, korg, and titania find weapon h with the skrullduggers under morgan le fay's control as they attack the inaku village as they recognize morgan le fay of earth-15238 as their queen. when morgan le fay orders protector hara to assist weapon h and the skrullduggers in attacking those who were sent by roxxon, the man-thing goes on the defense to protect his allies. as minotaur fights morgan le fay, man-thing is among those who are evacuated through the portal. after dario pays them the terms of their contract, titania takes blake, korg, and man-thing out to a burger joint down the street.
