You read my mind on Creed's future. As I keep saying, if they got nothing for him, they need to just kill him off in a good way & let him stay dead. I'd prefer he stayed in Hell at the end of Weapon X.
But yeah. We know he's got an inevitable ass-kicking from Logan coming. Fight would be too nice a term. Again, the Creed we can expect.
There's LOTS of pix that can be used to show Creed's newfound loser villain status, but why torture myself reading through them again. lol It was bad enough seeing these.
You brought up Psylocke. That's another thing. He beat her once back in the 90's, but it was constantly treated in Bunncanny that she could kick his ass.
1. He defeated Rogue effortlessly back in the 80's. Then got manhandled by her in AXIS.
2. He effortless defeated Mystique on a few occasions in the 90's. She was not stronger than him. Now he's her pet.
3. He wailed on Omega red & forced him to retreat. But was helpless against him in Weapon X.
4, He defeated Black Panther quickly, and BP had to will himself not to pass out from Creed's strangling him. Then BP decapitates him with ease in HOM.
5. Deadpool admitted in Tierri's WX series that he couldn't take Sabretooth since his enhancements. Yet DP stays kicking his ass these days.
6. He used to beat Wolverine down on a daily basis. Now he's just a pest Wolverine is bored with. And every other person with Logan's DNA has kicked his ass.
As we see, Creed's entire career now is getting punked around by characters that he used to be stronger than. At most, he's just a big deal when it comes to regular humans.
So like you said, yeah. He may need to leave the X-books. Seems they only keep him around now because he's one of Wolverine's accessories. Notice how Logan came back, so any character development Creed got since AXIS has been dropped to reset him.
