The Absorbing Man Is Returning To AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. For The Upcoming Midseason Premiere

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has portrayed The Absorbing Man in a lot of different lights over the years but the synopsis for the show's upcoming midseason premiere reveals that he's once again set to return.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s midseason finale featured Agent Coulson and his team attempting to return to the present after being stranded in outer space in a post-apocalyptic future. A promo for the episode - titled "All the Comforts of Home" - has confirmed they make it and are fugitives on the run. Now, a synopsis reveals that Carl Creel, a.k.a. The Absorbing Man is going to show up in this episode. 

The last time we saw him, Creel was working for General Talbot and had redeemed himself for his villainous past. However, considering the fact the world saw an L.M.D. version of Daisy Johnson shoot Talbot in the head, common sense says that The Absorbing Man will now be taking aim at the team. 

 
Coulson and team set out to rewrite the course of humanity’s fate, but they’re unaware that their efforts will dramatically change one S.H.I.E.L.D agent’s life, on “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” FRIDAY, MARCH 2 (9:01-10:01 p.m. EST), on The ABC Television Network, streaming and on demand.

“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” stars Clark Gregg as Agent Phil Coulson, Ming-Na Wen as Agent Melinda May, Chloe Bennet as Daisy Johnson, Iain De Caestecker as Agent Leo Fitz, Elizabeth Henstridge as Agent Jemma Simmons, Henry Simmons as Agent Alphonso “Mack” MacKenzie and Natalia Cordova-Buckley as Elena “Yo-Yo” Rodriguez.
 
Guest starring are Jeff Ward as Deke, Catherine Dent as General Hale, Dove Cameron as Ruby, Brian Patrick Wade as Carl Creel, Briana Venskus as Agent Piper, Shontae Saldana as Candice Lee, Antonio Aaron as Officer Kennedy, Stewart Skelton as Chief Wellins, Patrick Warburton as General Stoner, Joel David Moore as Noah, Josh Fingerhut as bartender and Amy Tolsky as woman.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns on March 2nd and season five has been a lot of fun so far as the now former agents did battle with the Kree. Who or what will be the big bad for the next batch of episodes remains to be seen. What do you guys think? As always, share your thoughts in the comments section.

Would rather see the return of Franklin Hall/Graviton. He was set-up in Episode 3 of the first season and they did nothing with the character since. In February 2017, Whedon teased the idea that Graviton would return - but we've heard nothing since. I could see him working well as the final villain of Agents Of Shield.

Any chance of Creel v Murdock?

Let's hope AoS gets renewed, though possibly minus Coulson?

@MerkinMan - There was an easter egg for that in Daredevil.

@HeavyMetal4Life - Wouldn’t Creel have to be a lot older if he was old enough to have fought Jack Murdock in the ring?

@RolandD - not necessarily. He could have been a hotshot young guy

saw someone post a good theory as to why he is back. he is likely on the war path looking for daisy as she is believed to be the one to kill talbot. and talbot was the one who helped him and gave him a second chance.

Ugh just cancel it. At best it's a waste of money and resource.

@Superheromoviefan - Canceling the best comic book show out there would be kind of stupid. At least to most people it would be stupid.

Yes!!! I've been hoping they'd bring back Absorbing Man, he's got one of the more interesting power sets on this show and I'd like to see that explored. Plus there's great potential for him to be a crossover character with the Netflix shows, considering we already know he was Jack Murdock's final opponent in a boxing match.

This TV show should feature General John Ryker and Gamma Corps.
