Awright, lets get this over with quick.
[ Ben's been loitering for a few days in the Marisva, getting his bearings, read'n up on what he could about this place, but some stuff you only get through good old fashioned talking face to face. Or face to camera. A huge, craggy, orange face fills the screen, all worn and weathered and animate like stone probably shouldn't be. There's a slow blink and a low sigh, the Thing rolling out his shoulders and settling in for a fun series of conversations. ]
Ben Grimm here of The Fantastic Four and Avengers ask'n for a headcount. Who all's here, who ain't, and which version of earth are ya from?
[ It ain't his first rodeo, it ain't even his tenth- it is his second in one of these weird 'crammed in a jaw and hope noth'n blows up' sortsa places though. Seems a bit nicer than Luceti. For one thing: Space! For another: he gets to pilot. ]
And can we skip the 'oh gosh gee you're all big and orange and rocky!' like I don't know. You're in space, you've gotta have seen stranger things than me by now.

[ Which he knew in hindsight, but from the way Ben was talking about it . . . was there a way to visit parallel worlds? ]

[ Ben cracks a wry smirk. ]
It's weird when you first hear 'bout it, sure. But yeah. Lotsa versions of earth, lotsa versions of- well. Everything. Dimensional travels kinda of a side gig for me.

How do you expect us to tell you what version of Earth we're from? It's not like they're numbered. [
Ha...ha... Earth 295 reporting?]Video
[ There's a scrape like stone on concrete when he shrugs. ]

I can't say I've heard of the Fantastic four, though. But I have heard of the Avengers.

Hello, Mr. Grimm. I am the Vision of the Avengers. I believe we've identified the Chitauri invasion of New York City in 2012 as the distinguishing event for my timeline.
video;
Heard 'bout that. Ain't my world but met a coupla standup guys from there. Tony, Steve, Tasha, Clint. Knew most of 'em from right about after that, little further along. Can't say I heard much 'bout them gett'n themselves a magical robot.

A version where it's 1973. [This tends to be the distinguishing factor for others, from his experience. He can't comment on the rest, as it doesn't ring any bells.]

[I mean, it sounds like this guy knows of at least a few distinct ones. And Felix knows there are at least...four? versions of Earth. Unless naming something 'Earth' is just this massive subconscious urge that spans galaxies and also alternate universes.]

Lovely wings, Ben.
Odd that they left yours on. They took mine. And Rogue's.
[Is it strange, that he's almost relieved to see someone else from Luceti? Perhaps a bit. But he'll take what he can.]
Video
Heh.
His craggy face breaks in a smirk. ]
Probably thought it'd be funny. Big ole guy madea rock with tiny little wings on his back fluffed up like a chicken.

Good luck on getting them to stop commenting on the [he makes air-quotes with his hooves] "strangeness" thing. I've been trying to get people to stop for for ages and they really don't get it. Like, ever.
Action
But it's still always got that half second of 'huhwhut' whenever he's faced with one of 'em. Especially when they can make quotes when they don't have fingers. Now that's talent. ]
It's more annoying if where you're from you're normal, yeah?

[Oh hey, it's a talking pink pony! Looks like she's from the same race as that Cheese guy.]
I'm not from Earth, though, I'm from Equestria!

Where's his niece when he needs her, she'd love this. ]
That's a little...on the nose, don't ya think?
Saw what? ;)

Or.
Something. ]
