The first segment, a very loose adaptation of Marvel Comics' character Thing, consisted of stories following the adventures of a scrawny, red-headed teenager named Benjy Grimm who changes into the monstrous and mighty Thing by touching together two magic rings and reciting the words "Thing Ring, do your thing!", releasing an explosion of energy that causes orange rocks to hurl in from every direction and transform him into the stone-skinned superhero.
The stories centred mostly around Benjy at Centerville High School with his friends, the beautiful brunette Betty Harkness, her snooty rich boyfriend Ronald Radford, and Betty's blond tomboy younger sister Kelly, with minimal adult supervision provided by Principal Twilly. Only Kelly and her scientist father Professor Harkness (voiced by John Stephenson) know Benjy's secret identity.
