New Secret Wars Marvel Legends Absorbing Man Brings the Pain

New heroes and villains are on the way as Hasbro has unveiled some brand new Marvel Legends figures for 2026 are coming soon

Absorbing Man first appeared in Journey into Mystery #114 (1965) as an enemy of Thor. Carl Creel gained the ability to absorb the properties of any material he touched, allowing him to become metal, stone, or even energy. Originally empowered by Loki, Creel often served as a blunt instrument for more manipulative villains. In the live-action Marvel TV, he was featured twice, with references to him as a boxer in Netflix's Daredevil, as well as his arrival as a villain with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 

Absorbing Man is now joining other iconic Marvel Comics heroes on Battleworld with a brand new Marvel Legends Secret Wars figure. Inspired by his appearance in the comics, the Absorbing Man is ready to bring some pain to your collection with an alternate head and signature wrecking ball with chain. Since this is a Secret Wars release, Creel will come with a lenticular shield, just like the action figures from Kenner in the '80s. Pre-orders for the Absorbing Man are set to arrive today on Hasbro Pulse at 1 PM EST for $27.99 with a Spring 2026 release.
