Brian Patrick Wade will be returning to Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to reprise his role as Carl “Crusher” Creel aka The Absorbing Man. Crusher Creel will appear in the March 8th episode of the superhero/spy drama, however, there's a twist. Typically a villain in Marvel Comics, ABC and the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. creative team state "it’s unclear if he will be a friend or foe to the S.H.I.E.L.D. team.” Given the synopsis for the mid-season premiere, perhaps the show is retconning Creel to be an Inhuman. A regular opponent of both Thor and Hulk in the pages of Marvel comics, Absorbing Man has been summarily de-powered to fit into the context of the show.
In the aftermath of his trip to Maveth, Coulson is more determined than ever to get to Gideon Malick and put an end to Hydra once and for all. Daisy and the team encounter more Inhumans who have powers like they’ve never seen before, but will they be friends or enemies of S.H.I.E.L.D.?
