It’s the Speedball/Penance special for Drink and Draw – the off week
Speedball played a central role in the Marvel Comics crossover event Civil War. During a fight between the New Warriors and supervillains in Stamford, Connecticut, the villain Nitro exploded, killing 612 civilians, including 60 children. This event was the catalyst for the Superhuman Registration Act. Wracked with guilt over his role in the tragedy, Speedball dramatically changed his appearance and persona, becoming the self-harming Penance. As Penance, he wore a suit lined with 612 spikes that pierced his skin, using pain to activate new energy powers. He served with the Thunderbolts during this time Now it time he serves with Friday Night Drink & Draw.
