One's body was composed of
crystalized ice, allowing it some degree of durability. If it were
attacked physically,
the attack would smash
through the monster rather
than harming it. It had superhuman strength sufficient enough to
briefly hold
Thor but was especially prone to heat, being made of ice.
History:
(Thor in "Melt the Monster") - Noticing the Giant One rampaging through a city, Thor confronted the ice creature. Surprised to find himself flying through the creature, rather than harming it, Thor quickly found himself in the Giant One's grasp. Realizing the monster was made of ice, Thor charged Mjolnir with lightning and circled the Giant One, creating a vortex of heat that melted the monster, leaving only water in its wake.

The
Kenner Give-a-Show Projector
slides had a copyright 1968 Marvel Comics Group, meaning that the

are owned by Marvel.
The
Giant One was called such by
Thor, who also referred to it as "a giant of gleaming crystal." The
story's
title simply referred to the creature as "the Monster."
