Although I agree with most everybody else, i.e. Spider-Man wins the fight with moderate difficulty, it's worth pointing out that Absorbing Man CAN absorb things that are disadvantageous to him. With the 5 years of practice mentioned in the previous post, Spider-Man's pre-cognitive warning sense, and Peter Parker's own innate intelligence, it's not likely to happen, but ...
It IS possible.
The following is a particularly interesting case of Absorbing Man Creel absorbing something bad. It has interesting implications if Creel is made into a Thor villain once again (the actual comic, contrary to what the author of this article asserts, heavily implies Creel IS directly responsible for the good brought about here).

Recall again that the current Thor is Jane Foster, chemotherapy patient, as you click and read the following:

Either that or Supes wraps him in his cape and clubs him like a bag of kittens.
No prior knowledge. Supes won't know to wrap him up.
But what happens if he encounters a Kryptonian??

Where did you get the assumption that he's physically superior? I asked for scans of creel out doing Superman level characters. You make it seem as if he can't be beat which isnt logical et all
As stated in the scan I posted of him and the Hulk, he doesn't replace his strength and such with that of his opponents, he STACKS their stuff on top of what he already has. So Supes wouldn't be facing someone with equal stats, he'd be facing someone with his stats+Spiderman's. I'm not saying that's a huge edge(relatively speaking) by any means, but it is an edge. He's done it with the likes of Hulk and Thor, so I really don't see why he'd have difficulty doing it with Supes.

But the MAGNITUDE was not an issue.
After all, Creel has absorbed a Cosmic Cube before.
It was the TYPE. It was too alien.
Celestial are NOT > Kryptonians, in terms of how alien they are to the MCU.

Yeah but don't forget about the Mod ruling involving speed steal/Zoom and Marvel characters. We don't rule out powers working just because characters are from a different company even if powers have such limits withing their native universe.
Flash was unable to speed steal Zoom, because he has zero speed. NOT because he is from an alt. universe.
The argument here is different. Creel was unable to handle something too alien, something too different.
Kryptonians def fit that bill, even in DC.

And don't get me wrong cause I think the ruling is totally bogus, but it is what it is.

They were unable to speed steal Zoom because he's not tied to the Speedforce and neither are Marvel characters. If we assume speedstealing works even against characters from other companies not connected to the speedforce, we need to assume that people like AM's powers work too and not just give characters from other companies a free pass against them.
Of course they do - but we all know that Creel's power is specifically unable to deal with characters that are too alien. It has limits, and there is nothing more alien than a Kryptonian to Marvel.
Hell, he's alien even to DC, lol.

So how different is a Kryptonian to Marvel? Is there anything even remotely similar?
