[[File:AstonishingAntManV1-2Textless.jpg|thumb|right|260px|Darla Deering in Astonishing Ant-Man v1 #2.]] '''Darla Deering''' is a female comic character who features in [[Marvel Comics]]. ==Biography== [[File:FFV2-4VariantTextless.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ms. Thing in FF v2 #4.]] Darla Deering When she was fourteen years old, she said that she got her first recording contract. This led to her music career where she had seven number one hits with two being gold and one platinum records by the time she was eighteen years old. Darla was nineteen years old when she won her Grammy Award and ever since she could drive she took home every video music award that MTV had nominated for her. (FF v2 #7) Darla at some point came to meet [[Johnny Storm]] with the two dating and having a relationship. (FF v2 #1) The pair were known to had been going out for six months where she talked to Johnny about her career. (Fantastic Four v4 #2) She attended a Latverian art show with Johnny Storm as his date during the event. (Marvel NOW! Point One v1 #1) Storm later took her to a private diner in a bubble in the [[Negative Zone (Marvel)|Negative Zone]] where he gave her his direct number as he liked her. (Fantastic Four v4 #1) Whilst waiting for their return, they found that the Fantastic Four were missing somewhere in their journey and the Future Foundation did not know where they were in the universe. This led to Darla having to be part of the new Fantastic Four who were forced to help protect the city when the [[Mole Man (Marvel)|Mole Man]] attacked the surface. Without any abilities, Darla could not participate in the fight until [[Dragon Man]] provided her the Thing Suit to provide her with powers. The team then had her belongings moved to the Baxter Building though Darla was overwhelmed by the events and simply wanted to go home as she felt she had no business being a superhero. (FF v2 #2) Darla felt very guilty afterwards as she felt she was a coward and a fake with her frequently crying over the next few days over her actions. [[Scott Lang]] sent flowers to her and a note with the intention of convincing her to re-join the team. As [[Ant-Man]], he was shrunk among the gifts when Darla received another package from the [[Yancy Street Gang]] that was a bomb prank designed to viscous liquid over her. Scott helped stop it from hitting her entirely with the Yancy Street Gang calling Darla a fake for replacing the real Thing before they escaped the scene. Both Darla and Scott pursued the intruders but lost them in the crowd as new year celebrations were made outside by civilians. Lang then convinced Deering to re-join the Future Foundation as this was the last wish of the Fantastic Four. Darla was convinced with Scott stating that their next mission was to end the threat of [[Doctor Doom]]. (FF v2 #3) ==Overview== ===Personality and attributes=== In appearance, Darla Deering was an attractive young woman notable for her pink hair. (Fantastic Four v4 #1) ===Powers and abilities=== Darla was an ordinary human being with no powers but had gained fame as a celebrity where she was a popular musician and singer that went on world tours. (Fantastic Four v4 #2) As a celebrity, she had 29 million Yamblr followers and 67 million likes on Facespace with more people having watched her on Newtoob in a year than going to the movies. (FF v2 #7) This fame meant that she could never go out without dozens of guys attempting to get her picture. (Fantastic Four v4 #1) Though she had no powers, she was provided a copy of the Thing Suit that was originally designed by Dr. Richards to provide an strong exo-skeleton to the Thing when Ben Grimm had temporarily lost his powers in the past. It provided her super-strength and greater durability allowing her to operate in battles. (FF v2 #2) The Thing Suit at first lacked a protective head gear but the Dragon Man modified it by crafting a transparent dome that was created by a collar modification which replicated the Invisible Woman's powers. Thus, it protected her head from harm yet was completely transparent allowing her to maintain her appearance. (FF v2 #5) The suit was destroyed by Blastaar during a fight with the Frightful Four. (FF v2 #7) Dragon Man later provided her the '''Thing Rings''' that were two rings wore on both hands with a 'T' symbol on the centre. When the two rings were smashed into one another they created a Thing Suit around her making it much more compact and mobile for use. They created a loud noise when forming the suit as this was caused when the vacuum formed by the rings was filled with Thing Particles. (FF v2 #8) ==Notes== *Darla Deering was created by Matt Fraction and Mike Allred where she made her first appearance in Marvel NOW! Point One v1 #1 (December, 2012). ==Appearances== *''Marvel NOW!
