History
Notorious tormentors of Ben Grimm, the Yancy Street Gang usually pulls innocuous pranks on Grimm. Despite their acrimonious relationship, the gang does not want anyone outside of Yancy Street imperiling the Thing or the Fantastic Four. Although Grimm has often threatened the gang with deadly force, their relationship normally involves good natured and light hearted banter and comedy.
When the Serpent returned to Midgard, he summons various Hammers to Earth. One, the Hammer of Angrir, landed in Yancy Street. It transformed the Thing into Angrir, Breaker of Souls, and he destroyed Yancy Street in a single attack.[1]
