    Why would he, when he was in charge? Thrash doesn't scapegoat people

    Just to let those know; CONTEST OF CHAMPIONS #10 revealed what happened to Speedball/Penance within the adventure........and it'll either make those extremely happy or angry (.......or both...!!).

    he's definitely a stealth heavy-hitter. reminds me of Cannonball taking down Gladiator. i'm curious to see how much he has grown in the use of his powers; since then.

    Unfortunately he went backwards. Fabian hinted that he was capable of fantastic things. Unfortunately after Fabian left the book the next writer wrote that speedball with the increased control of his powers was actually some type of clone. Since then all Speedball does again is bounce around aimlessly.

    ....And the Writer was Even Skolnick, in case of those who're curious.......

    ....Which was revealed (and dealt with) within CIVIL WAR: FRONTLINE & the Ellis/Deodato run on THUNDERBOLTS, along within AVENGERS: THE INITIATIVE & AVENGERS ACADEMY that dealt with SB's 'return' (more or less).

    Cannonball taking down Gladiator is a very good comparison of Speedball taking down Terrax IMO.

    I want to know if we can ever find out what the deal with his cellmate Hickey was. It seemed like they were setting him up to be connected to Speedball in some way, but the story was never told.

    Hey yeah! Would be great were the characters Hickey and Speedball to show up in the upcoming NOVA series and shed some light on the whole connection thing if there is any that is

    Speedball and actor Fran Kranz

    Since Marvel and ABC Studios are developing a New Warriors comedy series that would put the spotlight on little-known comic book heroine Squirrel Girl, it would be nice to see actor Fran Kranz getting cast as Robbie Baldwin opposite actrice Anna Kendrick as Doreen Green.
