Actually as i recall i think when he tried to do that he actually turned into an island......or something like that that left him incapacitated. It's like the writers hate him. He's always touching stuff and absorbing it by accident. Like glass, water, etc. Poor guy 🙁

no he didn't its about 1982 - 85 Hulk got mad and tore the island up, its years since I read it. I will find a synopsis - mad hulk tore it to pieces. He then tried absorbing the very earth - Ahh I think your right at the point - on this - at the point he tried to absorb more mass from the earth beyond a certain point he became immobile. Wickerman - your around my age aren't you.

The Incredible Hulk #261: The Hulk swims to the deserted Easter Island and collapses, reverting back to Bruce Banner. He is found by the Absorbing Man, who has lost his memory. During a fight with the Avengers, he fell in the ocean and took on the properties of water. He drifted apart and by the time he pulled himself back together when he reached Easter Island, he had lost his mind. Creel picks up the unconscious Bruce to take him back to his hideout because he thinks "they" are out to get him. While walking down a slope, Bruce wakes up and causes both of them to tumble down. Creel changes into stone and forces Bruce to crawl into a hole so that they can hide from "them." They go to a hidden cave underground. When Creel falls asleep, Bruce crawls through another hole to escape. Before he can get out, Creel grabs him from behind while crawling and says that he will stay there until Bruce starves. Bruce turns into the Hulk and jars Creels memories back. During the battle, Creel starts to absorb all parts of the island, including earth, grass, stone, the volcanic core. The Hulk launches the Absorbing Man into the ocean and the shock of having lost again, causes the Absorbing Man to causes his mind to shut down and basically form an island.
He is in a different class to Rogue
