Biography

Darla Deering

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 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

Powers and abilities

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)
