The season two premiere of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is set to kick off in style with an appearance from Crusher Creel, a character better known to comic book fans as the villainous Absorbing Man! Marvel made the news official on their site today, and simultaneously put an end to that recent Kree speculation by unveiling the following image of Generation Kill and Teen Wolf star Brian Patrick Wade in the role. They go on to describe this take on the Absorbing Man with the following: "With his ability to absorb the properties of anything he touches, Creel will put Coulson and his team through their paces when their second season kicks off...but you'll have to wait until then to see how their battle turns out!" The former Wonder Woman actress who will play Mockingbird in the series was also recently revealed, and you can read more about that by clicking here.

Absorbing man? And these Agents of a division that no longer exists are supposedly going to stop him? This dude is part of the Wrecking Crew. It takes the likes of Hulk and Thor to take this guy down. But then again I don't watch this show and never plan to so no harm, no foul.

@TheGambitFreak That's where Coulson's seduction techniques come in.

@TheGambitFreakIsBatmanOfCBM He's not part of the Wrecking Crew. And have you seen the weapons Shield had last season when Hydra infiltrated them? They can find something to defeat him.

@VikingKing I think he's more of a Thor villain.

The only thing that would make this better, is if we get a [frick]ing Ruffalo cameo!

One of my faves! Hes not Wrecking Crew though. @Gambit.

I wanted to see him in a movie fighting a super hero. Could be cool though. I like this show.

The next question is whose 'N.I.C.K'?

Absorbing Man's powers are Asgardian based so I wonder how they're going to explain them. Maybe they'll just make him an escapee from the Icebox or the Cube.
