I'm surprised to ...The power of merchandising!<br /><br />I'm surprised to see that the reason Creel was unable to weild Mjolnir was because it had to return to Thor's hand. No "Wha...!? I'm stronger than ever, but I can't even budge the blamed thing!" Was that an oversight, or a bit of Marvel tradition that hadn't gelled yet, or what?Warren JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11743987856127631574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-11832773408646939232015-10-13T20:01:01.954-04:002015-10-13T20:01:01.954-04:00Though I haven't always liked the treatment of...Though I haven't always liked the treatment of him in other stories, M.P., I can't help but agree that the Absorbing Man is an excellent villain. Ruthless, cocky, powerful--what's not to like? Look for a post just around the corner that seemed appropriate to follow up with: the Absorbing Man vs. the one and only ODIN! (And it's difficult to tell which of them is more confident of victory!)<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-18289726546197865282015-10-13T05:19:54.016-04:002015-10-13T05:19:54.016-04:00One of my favorite all-time villains!

We're not talking about Leap-frog or the Shocker, here. This guy is trouble.<br />He'd be a lot more trouble, if he wasn't such a meat-head.<br />On paper, he oughtta be invincible, he could just absorb cities and mountains and such, even energy, but throw a roll of toilet paper at him, or toss him in a lake, and he absorbs it by accident and thus is defeated.<br />Still, I've always enjoyed Crusher's occasional appearances. A really wild, original villain, who always forced his opponents to come up with something original to defeat him. And probably the writers too!<br />M.P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
