Apollo vs. Absorbing Man

Can't Creel consciously control what he absorbs, and what he doesn't want to?

Yes. But he's a dummy. However when written correctly, he's a beast. So while he could absorb what he wants, probably even absorb the sunlight directly from Apollo as he's drained Hulk of gamma energy and Sentry's energy before. If he becomes solar energy, Apollo could theoretically drain him, even though I'm not sure if he can do that.

Pretty much so, like when Sentry overloaded him the first time the second time he absorbed only some of the Sentry's energy, instead he only took a small part and used that to his advantage.

Even barring the absorption argument Creel can be notoriously difficult to put down at times and is one of the more proficient hand to hand villains in Marvel (that are super-powered).

I think he'd run a phucking train on Apollo pretty face.
