ASSORBING MAN

Carl 'Crusher' Creel, known as the Absorbing Man, is a Marvel Comics supervillain created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Bill Everett who first appeared in 1965. Originally a professional heavyweight boxer and criminal enforcer, he gained the magical ability to absorb and replicate the physical properties of anything he touches via a magical potion provided by Loki. Over the years, Creel evolved from a primary foe of Thor and the Hulk into a complex antihero, frequently working alongside his wife, Titania.
