Molten Man-Thing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Molten Man-Thing is a monster appearing in the Marvel Comics universe. Created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby (pencils), and Steve Ditko (inker), he first appeared in Tales of Suspense #7 (1960).
The Molten Man-Thing escaped from an erupting volcano on a South Pacific Island. The creature stumbled into a nearby village were he encountered Frank Harper, a vacationing pilot. Harper blasted him with cool air in a wind tunnel at a nearby airport. The Molten Man-Thing fell back into the volcano.
In Marvel Universe #4, Frank Harper was retconned into Makkari, one of the Eternals. It was also suggested there that the Molten Man-Thing was one of the Deviant mutates.
Much later, Frank Johnson painted a picture of the Molten Man-Thing with his magic paints. That picture, like all Johnson's enchanted pictures, came to life.
