The Man-Thing is very much an anti-hero as opposed to being a super-hero, so does cause consternation where-ever he goes. He's one of Marvel's monsters which enjoyed its height of popularity in the Seventies and seems to struggle in this day and age of comics. As the recent cancellation of "Howling Commandos Of SHIELD" shows.
