i love that pic ,nothing beats the first issue cover though. itd be nice if ditko could get back on him. he recently did some work for marvel so it might be possible @Kairan1979 said:
@Avenging-X-Bolt: definitely yes. But I'm not sure about "demon" angle.
A little insight on Jack's regenerative abilities and durability....Proteus cutting and drilling away just to test the upper limits of Creeper's regen doesn't particularly cause damage, multiple bullet wounds don't even bother Jack as he describes his regen being faster than Flash's on crack. Gets an axe to the chest, pulls it out and throws it back at it's owner. Laughs at being burned alive due to his demonic origin, he's uninjured after crash landing an alien spaceship to the ground. After his body was torn apart, it stitched itself back together.

Now, his scream....it causes the human brain to respond like how it would to fingernails on a chalkboard and is similar in frequency to a primate "danger cry", it's ability incapacitate varies based on the length of exposure someone has to it (meaning the longer you hear it, the worse it gets until you pass out). It causes grown ass men nausea, complete loss of focus, fear, nosebleeds, I think one guy was puking blood and they altogether lose their sh*t cus they can't take the sound. It works on demented Creeper clones and is powerful enough to shatter protective helmet glass (glass that could or could not have been bullet proof).

For his speed and agility....Dodges sub machine gun bullets at point blank range, dodges a black lantern fist flying at him at high speeds, jumps behind Joker before he can swing an axe, the last one is just insane and would be a task to describe....

Onto strength ... One shot's a lion, kicks one guy far off of a building and then launches another far into some debris with a casual punch, launches a Creeper clone with a flying kick then sends two out of the gate and into the water with a double kick, notice the big guy (Gavin) sending like 15 of them Creeper clones into the water, Jack punts him into the water after its all said and done...

Next, fights ....
Fighting Manbat, clawing his back out and clawing his face out ....

Fighting a severely de-powered Hermes, Hermes wasn't hurt or even feeling any of Creeper's punches but for a de-powered god to get smacked up like this...it is definitely worth mentioning, especially in regards to Jack Ryder's speed.

Fighting a demon Werewolf, tricking it into breaking his restraints in the first scan, the rest is what Creeper looks like when his morals are off....
@jonny_anonymous: those are good choices. Especially Eternal, which could give him some much needed solo development and exposure. I also really dug Bat's interpretation of their relationship from the 97 Creeper series.
JLD is a spectacular option as well. I'd love to see how he interacts with Zatanna,Constantine and the others. We'd could also get some devolpment/mystical updates to his enemies
