There's no stopping Marvel! Yet again they reveal some exciting news for one of their properties. This time it pertains to their hit show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (henceforth AoS) and a new character added to the mix. The Absorbing Man, also known as Crusher Creel, will make an appearance in the season 2 premiere. Marvel had this to say:

"With his ability to absorb the properties of anything he touches, Creel will put Coulson and his team through their paces when their second season kicks off… but you'll have to wait until then to see how their battle turns out!"

Well, sounds thrilling to me. Although the show started off slow, AoS picked it up nicely toward the end of the first season and finished very strong. Coinciding with the events of Captain America: Winter Soldier, the last several episodes were tense, nail-biting affairs that had me watching and waiting for the next episode each week. They should be lauded for picking up the pace and making every second count.

Judging by the character's comic book roots, Absorbing Man should give the Agents all they can handle and more. This is  good thing. Why the show didn't work at first is mostly because there were no stakes and not many reasons to cheer for them. Once they got it going, though, AoS blossomed and took off fast. Here's hoping they continue the trend in season 2.

Does this news sound exciting to you? Is Absorbing Man a good villain to fight the good guys on this show? Sound off below.
