Ben had followed Namor and had a good idea where he was going. When he arrived to back up the man who he saw as a teammate he got out of the Fantasticar and said "Hey buddy, good thing I followed ya here. Let's clobber these bozos."
The thing went rushing in on them to give Namor time to get his second wind and to regroup if need be. Sue seemed okay with him, and that made him alright in Ben's book.
"Not to nag at ya Namor, but next time wait for backup. We're a team, and when we work as a team things go a lot smoother." Ben was for the most part civil with him, only agitated when he and Johnny butted heads and unlike most people, Ben was interested in the customs of Namor's homeland since Ben was a bit of a traveler sometimes.
Whatever these things were didn't matter, they were trying to kill innocent people and that was reason enough for Ben to kick the crap outta any of them dumb enough to fight him.
"The weirdos always pop up right before Halloween. Too bad there's only room for one Thing. None of you chumps is it. Now who ordered the knuckle sandwich?" Whatever they were, they didn't seem as strong as Ben, at least not any of this current batch. Ben backhanded one into two of his buddies and all three of them hit the side of a box truck.
"Take your time and catch your breath Namor. I can stall these clowns as long as you need me to. I know pride, I'm just offering ya a helping hand. That's what friends do."
