Currently, The Thing's profile takes into account things from the 2002 video game and Dark Horse comics, what's the problem with this? that the game and the comic series contradict each other.
In the video game, which if I remember correctly takes place a few days after the first movie, Childs is dead and we find his frozen corpse. In the Dark Horse comic series, Childs is alive, and encounters MacReady just a few hours after the events of the first film, and is subsequently infected by The Thing. Therefore, the comics and the video game cannot occur in the same timeline.
Personally, I think we should get rid of the comics material (and maybe do a separate profile for that version of The Thing), since Universal seems to have been more involved in the creation of the game than in the creation of the comics, and apparently, the game was endorsed by John Carpenter (Who also gives voice to one of the characters in the video game).
