In Fantastic Four v4 #AU, the FF-Age of Ultron tie-in issue, the Thing reveals the following on a pre-recorded message to Franklin and Valeria Richards, knowing he will die: "I think mebbe Dr. Doom is all my fault. When me and your dad were kids, and we were all at school... the guy was a rich jerk. I messed with this experiment he had in their room there an'... I didn't mean ta... I mean, I don't know if I did it, but... I ain't never told no one that before."

Question stays. Remember, the Age of Ultron event originally took place in 616, until Logan and Sue Storm altered the timestream, making it a different universe. But we are under the impression that everything up to the point where Ultron attacked happened exactly the same as it did in 616. So does this include the Thing being responsible for Dr. Doom's accident? Because that's what his message is implying, which we should assume he did not lie about. In fact, the "flaw" Reed pointed out in Victor's calculations in that initial experiment that scarred him could have been a result of the Thing's tampering. But he definitely did something, I think. That's my question, anyway. Thoughts?
