Carl "Crusher" Creel was a boxer who went by the name Rocky Davis (named after his cousin), who led a double life as a criminal. He was eventually caught and imprisoned, where he caught the attention of the Norse trickster god Loki. Spicing his drinking water with a potion derived from Asgardian herbs, Loki granted Creel the ability to absorb and replicate the properties of any material he touched. Using his powers to break free from prison, Creel became the supervillain Absorbing Man, becoming a foe for Thor and the Incredible Hulk. He would later marry another supervillain, Mary MacPherran a.k.a. Titania.
