These are two awesome characters that never seem to get past the C List. They are both A-List in my book though. The Creeper is probably too outlandish for a live action treatment, but James Gunn does like the oddball heroes, so who knows? Deathlok had a low rent live action appearance on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. but the less said about that disappointing attempt, the better. Let's hope the MCU proper gives him another shot.

SO clever.
Are you going to do Luther vs Luthor next?
How about Lothar vs. Luthor as a solo adventure for Mandrake's long-time partner?---Carycomic
The Creeper is kind of a mix of Captain America and Spiderman.......as envisioned by the Joker.
@Emsley Wyatt: Holy Steve Ditko, Batman!
I agree that the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. treatment of Deathlok was disappointing. Overall I'd give that a D minus; it barely passes muster, and while it's potentially reparable, it's one part of the series I'd like to see forgotten and tried again.
(Absorbing Man is mostly the same story, except that it isn't reparable since he died on the show. On the other hand, this is the Multiverse Saga, so maybe Loki can run into a Variant.)
As for Creeper, I think he could be done fairly easily in live action, whether with a mocap suit, a yellow body-stocking, or a non-hirsute actor covered in makeup (I'd go with the first, myself).
I love the Creeper (Jack Ryder original version). I like his origin story of how he put his "look" together from odds and ends and body makeup/paint. His own comic book in the Sixties are some of my favorite stories; but my all-time favorite appearance of the Creeper is his guest-star role in an issue of the Joker's Seventies comic. The artwork on their fight scene is incredible.
Great image. The original Deathlok comics from the 70's are great. Like Charles Bronson meets The Terminator, but it's before the Terminator was around. I always thought of The Creeper as a good guy version of The Joker.
Here's an all-Ditko battle for you: Creeper and Shade, the Changing Man... head-to-head against Clea and Mr. A!
Fight could take place in the Zero Zone, or Dormammu's realm, or the Negative Zone.
Seth freaking Rollins should play the creeper in the next suicide squad movie, what does everyone think?
I hope that if there's a new MCU version of Deathlok they remember that he's not just a generic cyborg- he's a man trapped in a cyborg corpse. The inherent horror of that situation is an important part of the character. It's also literally why he's named "Deathlok"- his death has been artificially locked out of his body, keeping him trapped in an unnatural semblance of life.
I'm a fan of both the Luther Manning and Micheal Collins incarnations of the character. Personally, if they use him in movies, I'd rather they kept him separate from the MCU, and do a standalone movie (or series of movies)- a well done, mind twisting sci-fi masterpiece based on Deathlok could be amazing.
On the outside, Creeper is DC's Spider-Man. Not Jack, just Creeper. But, no web shooter, no bat line, no Creeper Mobile, Does he just run from place to place if needed if no car is available? How would that be handled in a movie?
From a sideways note i can't believe it...Ross, ROSS, tell me it ain't so....
She-Hulk has never interacted with Harley Quinn?? The defense lawyer and the Shrink?
Would Harley take Ms J to the roller rink? not necessarily.
Dazzler, on the other hand, would make a perfect skate-date!
How about Deathlok vs. Magnus? Or Deathlok vs. Jonah Hex 2175?
@Carycomic: see STF #1369.
But, I second the first motion! :-)
