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?

Awesome, but it would be very awesome if the Hulk or at least Banner was somehow involved. :)

Seems they're addressing the criticism about not having any known characters. It's about time :)

Cool looks like I was wrong and they were doing make-up for absorbing man and not another Kree.

Wait, this announcement is also the reveal for Lucy Lawless' character ... unless I missed it already. Carol Danvers was the most popular vote, if I remember. Guess not. Or ... is she.

Awesome. Too bad Creel was one of those characters they doomed to perma limbo after Fear Itself.

@t_aesir:

Right bro, bring on the Asgard! Hopefully Sif will show back up, or the Warriors Three, because they'll need some power to deal with Creel. First Mockingbird, now Absorbing Man, the show's sounding better with each new announcement. The criticism about not using established characters is gonna fall to the wayside. I still wonder who Skye's father could be...

@winter_kills: It would be great to see the Warriors Three.

The guy does look like his Creel. Great casting so far, can't wait for the next season.

Glad they're bringing in more comic book characters this season. I felt that was really one of the things that dragged the first season down.

I think they should have saved him for future Thor movies. But I guess its fine to see him in AOS.
