Absorbing Man Headed to 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'

Earlier this week we heard that Adrianne Palicki will be appearing on an episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as Mockingbird. She's not the only comic character popping in on the show in the second season.

Marvel has reported that Carl "Crusher" Creel will be appearing in the season premiere episode, Tuesday, September 23, at 9:00 pm EST on ABC.

We all know Crusher Creel takes on the identity of Absorbing Man. He'll be played by Brian Patrick Wade (Generation Kill, Teen Wolf) and will have the "ability to absorb the properties of anything he touches."

Sounds like he'll be pretty close to his comic book counterpart.

Wade joins a number of new characters and guest stars on the series' second season, including the previously announced Adrianne Palicki (Bobbi Morse, a.k.a. Mockingbird), Lucy Lawless (Agent Isabelle Hartley), Reed Diamond (Daniel Whitehall), Nick Blood (Lance Hunter), Henry Simmons (Alphonso "Mack" Mackenzie), and Kyle MacLachlan (Skye's father), alongside the returning cast of Clark Gregg (Director Coulson), Ming-Na Wen (Agent May), Brett Dalton (Grant Ward), Elizabeth Henstridge (Agent Simmons), Iain De Caestecker (Agent Fitz), and Chloe Bennet (Agent Skye).

Are you going to tune in to the show this season?
