No sooner did Marvel announced that Mockingbird would be joining Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. then they’ve also revealed that Absorbing Man, a pretty major comic book bad guy, will be in the season premiere on Sept. 23. Crusher Creel will be played by actor Brian Patrick Wade, and here is a pic of him from the set.

They definitely got the bald part right

That’s pretty awesome news! One of the things we all wanted from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was more comic book connections. They didn’t even get around to bringing Graviton back in the first season! Granted, Absorbing Man, Graviton and Blizzard aren’t exactly A-list bad guys, but they are a million times better than that random, no-named fire-guy, right? 

Hecks yes. 

What other comic book villains would you like to see in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.?
