CHARACTER BIOS

Carl “Crusher” Creel was an American professional Heavyweight boxer turned enforcer. While locked up in prison he was mutated using Asgardian magic by the trickster god Loki using a special potion. Creel then obtained the ability to absorb the properties of anything he touches and used his new-found power to break free from prison and soon became a villain for hire. He was later recruited into the Masters of Evil by Baron Zemo.

Baron Helmut Zemo, 13th in the esteemed Zemo lineage, has walked the path of evil ever since his father, Heinrich, died fighting his nemesis, Captain America. Consumed by a need for revenge and control, Baron Zemo reformed his father’s Masters of Evil in an attempt to take down the Avengers. He later founded the Thunderbolts, villains masquerading as heroes, in another ploy for world domination. Ingenious, resourceful, and above all, patient, Zemo knows his ultimate victory is only a matter of time.

Set your reminders! Absorbing Man and all-new Haassenstadt arena arrive in-game on Jan. 19, and Baron Zemo arrives on Jan. 26. In the meantime, fans can catch up on The Battlerealm with Champion Deep Dive and Special Moves content on the official MARVEL Contest of Champions YouTube channel.
