I like Crusher Creel as a villain, but he can vacillate between being a serious threat and someone who makes a serious error in judgement and beats himself (he's just not the brightest guy).

He can hold  his own against the Avengers or Thor, and then agains in the last appearance I read for him, he was easily outsmarted by Hank Pym/Giant-Man.

His track record has turned him into a popular punching bag, but his powers should make him pretty formidible, just not an A-List villain.

One other thing - I like how JB always makes Iron Man look like a guy in armor rather that a guy in an skin-tight outfit like other artists of that version did.  His armor still looks sleek, but it has some substance to it.

"Has Creel ever been shown to absorb thru his ball and chain?"

...

This commission prompted me to re-read an Absorbing Man story from one of my Thor Marvel Masterwork's a couple of weeks ago. I was surprised to see it.

Read online Journey Into Mystery 1952 comic -  Issue #122 - 11

From Journey Into Mystery #122
