The Creech

==Summary==
The Creech (also known as Adam) is the titular protagonist of the two eponymous Image comic miniseries (the three-issue limited series The Creech and its sequel The Creech: Out for Blood), created by Greg Capullo.
When Dr. Pashu Battu designed the Creech, an in vitro-created life form made from hundreds of aborted fetuses, he was trying to honor his wife (who died during childbirth) by making life from death. Unfortunately, the group that funded his project had a different goal; they wanted to create the ultimate weapon of war. 
When his creator helps him escape, the Creech ends up in the middle of a battle (and furthermore an intergalactic war spanning the present and future) between The Agency, the group that funded his creation secretly led by an alien race known as the Proteus, and the D'Troden, another alien race created long ago by the Proteus, whose genetic material the Creech shares and who seek to annihilate the Earth.

Durability: At least City Block level+ (Can take on characters comparable to him, tanked an explosion of this levelThe Creech: Out for Blood #3 and being inside a UFO going self-destruct and obliterating an underground complex.The Creech #3), regeneration makes him harder to kill
Stamina: Superhuman (Needs very little rest, no food or sustenances of any kind, and survived being buried under several tons of rock and water for three days)
Range: Extended Melee Range due to size, several meters with metal appendages and even more with plasma gauntlets
Standard Equipment: His plasma gauntlets and metal appendages/tentacles. Due to Chen's neuro-bionic symbiosis (the interfacing of man and machine at the synaptic level allowing them to function as one), his gauntlets are basically an extension of his body and mind, and that likely extends to his appendages as well.
Intelligence: Genius to Extraordinary Genius (Has the same intelligence as his creator thanks to having Battu's subsconscious merged with his, combined with skills far beyond that of most humans due to being genetically enhanced and engineered into a fighting machine and the greatest weapon of war. Has very precise control over his own superhuman strength, able to accurately calculate and halve the power behind his strikes. Built the tech necessary to create a flawless younger clone of Dr. Battu in a short amount of time.The Creech: Out for Blood #2)
Weaknesses: None notable, though he cannot talk normally and must communicate through touch via his appendages.
Feats:
*Consistently moves at blur-like speeds:
**Destroyed an experienced mercenary team in 8 minutes and they couldn't touch him or even managed to see him.
**Speedblitzed and killed a small squadron of soldiers without disturbing a baby in his arms.
**Can strike so fast he appears invisible.
**Outpaced a missile and/or an explosion, leaping on top of the flying vehicle that shot him without the pilot realizing.
**Silently jumped up a roof with great agility and force, only disturbing some rubble underneath him.
**Ran through a wall so fast he vanished from the area before all the wall's fragments fell to the ground.
Note: The Creech currently lacks the final chapter in its trilogy,The Creech website - FAQ which is still in the works according to Capullo, so the Creech's stats may change in the future.
