Developer Kabam revealed the Year 8 Narrative Roadmap for Marvel Contest of Champions, which included details regarding the first new characters for 2023, Baron Zemo and the Absorbing Man. The two villains will be the next champions to join Marvel Contest of Champions' massive character roster. The Absorbing Man will debut on Jan. 19, alongside a new stage, the Haassenstadt arena. The Absorbing Man is a "Mystic" Champion, who can magically augment his body and signature ball and chain by absorbing the elements in his surroundings. "Carl "Crusher" Creel was an American professional Heavyweight boxer turned enforcer," a short biography describes. "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 newfound 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.
