I mentioned on one of my recent #TBT posts (follow me on FB or Twitter if you aren't getting those) how much I'd love to see a live action treatment of The Creeper. That said, I fully realize that he would be one of the toughest superheroes to adapt, due to his outlandish appearance. I have no interes in some watered down version on the CW that looks like a regular gut with a yellow tie and a fuzzy red collar, If your going to adapt a character that usies craziness like The Creeper, you have to be willing to be a little crazy in your costume design!

You mean you want an actor who is 'willing' to dress crazy with lots of make-up on AND is willing to act crazy for a role??? Really? Have you looked on the internet for cos-players at conventions to see if it's been done yet?
@Nighthawk & The Creeper: don't be so astounded, guys. Paper cuts can be more painful than they look!* *
*Especially if some phytokinetic super-villain like Plantman squirted juice from homegrown lemons into them.
Would love a live action creeper on either legends of tomorrow or supergirl or even superman and Lois within the next year or 2

Agreed about the Creeper. But I really want to see the Defenders as the group should really be presented...with Nighthawk among the members!
forget Nighthawk & The Creeper. Where's LSH's Blok and Wolverine?
Big Creeper fan here. Would love to see him teamed with Captain America on STF. Not an obvious pairing, I admit. But when you think about it their origins aren't that dissimilar. Both got their abilities from a serum whose creator was immediately killed.
While Creeper would arguably be most at home (among Arrowverse shows) on Legends of Tomorrow, I think he'd work well on an episode of Batwoman, just for the massive contrast from the title character.
Either way, should he show up, I agree regarding the costuming ethic. Cover the actor with yellow body paint; yellow spandex and a domino mask just won't cut it.
Nice one but you should go full out. How about the Rock and Sgt. Rock?
Great cover. The Creeper is great. I also have fond memories of Nighthawk from The Defenders and his appearance in Marvel Team-Up. Definitely an underrated character.
As for your cover ...
I remember that villain, although I can't remember his name. (I was a kid, it was back in the '70's.) I remember it because it impressed me with the villain's origin - the subconscious manifestation of a man's bigotry, realizing itself through psychic origami. (Lardy, the Silver Age got funky sometimes.)
As for superheroes on TV, I think Nighthawk has a lot of potential for a series, considering his whole history is character development.
The Creeper, OTOH, has been basically the same since his debut. There's no real room for evolution and development. He's a supporting character, lacking the legs to carry a long-term series in any medium.
@Emsley Wyatt: by that same token, the Creeper could also be teamed up with Iron Man! Given that the latter's gray prototype armor was co-invented by Professor Yinsen (who, when I was an elementary school kid, I often confused with Prof. Yatz).
Above anonymous, I don’t remember the paper creature hav8ng a name, but I do remember that the story was written by the great Alan Brennert, who also wrote the brilliant "To Kill a Legend".
Yep in the Brave & the Bold. One of the few issues Not done by Bob Haney!
@Anonymous849: I think he was called "The Origami Man." but, I'm not 100% certain.
@Anon1230: Comic Vine confirms it. "He" was called the Origami Man.
