Still, it broke down because ranged weapons had the same effect, thus Thing could use a machine gun to add to his action value against Hulk.

This is another reason I regret the remark because everyone got hung up on one sentence that had NOTHING to do with the actual review and it colored the perception of the actual body of text.
