History
Carl "Crusher" Creel started out as a boxer under the ringname of "Rocky Davis". After being charged for aggravated assault, he spent time in prison. Here, Loki selected Carl to be an unwitting agent in his scheme against Thor. Loki enchanted a potion of rare Asgardian herbs that Carl would drink, giving him the ability to absorb the physical properties of anything he came in contact with. With that newfound power he escaped from prison and pursued a life of crime.
