    Default Would you read an Absorbing Man and Titania comic?

    Two crooks.

    Two surprisingly powerful characters that would be seriously scary if they thought bigger.

    Fortunately they do not.

    in spite of this, their rocky relationship seems to be more stable then 80% of relationships in marvel.

    with that in mind would you read a limited series of the two.

    it could be one part jerry springer, one part bonnie and clyde, one part true romance (1993).

    and it`s pretty easy to setup a story.

    Hook: After the fear story arc, Crusher and Skeeter are on the run from the government and most superheroes. They decide to do a diversion and get some cash by pulling off a bank robbery in some small town.

    Line: They find in one safety deposit box a small cube they think would be worth some serious swag.

    Sinker: The item is a cosmic cube. Now they are on the run from pretty much everybody, from aim, to hydra, as well as the normal heroes. They are considering it more trouble then it`s worth, and want to sell it to the highest bidder...hijinx ensure.

    It depends on the creative team. If someone like Fred Van Lente or John Arcudi were writing the book, absolutely.

    What I love about Creel is that he's arguably one of the most powerful people in the Marvel Universe, but he's so smalltime that he spends his time robbing banks and the like. I hope they never change that about him.

    I hope so too! Very good point!

    Looks like Titania is getting new powers according to the March solicits.

    Also, something that was posted in a Jessica Jones thread reminded me of this, but as much as everyone and their grandmother complained about the way Jason Aaron used her in Thor, she's now the star of a book directly because of that appearance (Williamson said this on a podcast).

    ILLUMINATI #5

    What means clearly that this book should have had another name instead of Illuminati, the only main character seems just her and nothing more, the whole synopsis of five issues till now were just Titania, the rest have no roles, it´s weird and depressive.

    Creel & Titania are best when written by Tom DeFalco. He actually gave their relationship some depth.

    I could see myself reading a monthly ongoing featuring Crusher & Titania going straight and turning their talents to doing good much to the chagrin of villains and heroes alike.

    Hell, I wouldn't mind them finding redemption and then membership with the Mighty Avengers.

    Smile Happy 50th anniversary 616 Carl "Crusher" Creel aka Absorbing Man!!!, 1965-2015

    Crusher Creel’s drink gets spiked by the ever-powerful Loki. What a cool page. I’m assuming that third panel is meant to be him belching and not Jack Kirby being weird.

    I'd definitely read it, especially with the right creative team.

    I even came up with a title: Couples in Crime.

    and would could potentially make it fun is the dynamic.

    Creel is the hardened criminal, but he's also the one who wanted to start over.

    Titania is the wild cannon, so Creel goes along and does the best he can.

    Creel would try to bail her out of their crazy schemes, but honestly, he's not really good at that...he's better at smashing things...and it only goes downhill from there. .

    If there were ever two characters that deserved a shot...even on a mini-series level, it would be these two.

    Reading the replies convinced me that I would definitely give this a shot. They've been given a little more time than other villains through the years, so people know
    who they are. I remember seeing their wedding in one of my comics, but I don't remember which one. All the Masters Of Evil were there and a bunch of good guys who
    were chasing them also stayed and let them go. I wish I remembered where that was. Who knows, though. If they can do a Rocket Raccoon book, why not this at some
    point?

    As long as the comicbook character Titania is sporting her original look which includes a mask.
