Jerry Sledge, also known as Stonewall, is the biological son of Carl Creel better known as the Absorbing Man. His parents had a brief relationship that didn’t end well. Jerry’s mother found out she was pregnant with Creel’s child but decided to raise the child alone. Years later, Creel returned after finding out he had a son, but the reunion was less than ideal. Jerry inherited his father’s powers, and after meeting his father they manifested for the first time. SHIELD placed Jerry on the Index after learning of his powers and trained him to control them at the Cocoon. SHIELD also listed him as a potential candidate for the Secret Warriors.
