Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which team was Speedball part of?

Answer: The New Warriors

The New Warriors were a group of superheroes that also included Nova, Rage, Namorita and Hindsight Lad. It was this group of superheroes that fought Nitro in New England. Nitro exploded, resulting in the deaths of nearly the entire team and many innocent people, including sixty schoolchildren.

2. In whose comic book did Speedball first appear?

Answer: Spider-Man

Robbie Baldwin appeared first in the 22nd annual special of "The Amazing Spider-Man", one of the many titles to have featured Peter Parker!

3. What year did Speedball first appear?

Answer: 1988

Robbie Baldwin has been fighting crime since 1988! Of course, time passes much slower in the comic book world; he's still considered lazy and somewhat of a slacker!

4. How did Baldwin gain his powers?

Answer: In a lab accident.

While all four choices are good ways to gain superpowers, or die trying, Robbie got his powers in a lab accident. Another superhero who derived his powers from a lab accident is the Hulk, and so did Spider-Man. You'd think they would be more careful!

5. What state does Speedball hail from?

Answer: Connecticut

Specifically, Baldwin lived in Springdale before becoming a superhero. A section of Stamford, Springdale is noted for its being a small town, and having a small-town feel.

6. As a member of the New Warriors, Speedball was usually on time for the meetings.

Answer: False

The team was situated in New York, and Speedball lived in a different state! He needed to get hit by a train just to get enough kinetic energy to travel to New York City. Thus, he was often late.

7. Who took Baldwin's place in the New Warriors as well as his moniker?

Answer: Darrion Grobe

Darrion Grobe was the new Speedball for a short period of time while Baldwin was trapped in the dimension from which he derived his powers. He came back to our dimension and reclaimed his spot.

8. After suffering from Nitro's explosion, what saved Baldwin's life?

Answer: His kinetic field

Although it saved his life, Baldwin's kinetic field seemed to have burned out, only to violently reignite and kill two emergency workers. For this, Baldwin was placed under arrest.

9. How many spikes are featured on the Penance suit?

Answer: 612

They represent the 612 deaths that Robbie feels responsible for, as the only surviving member of the team. 60 of those spikes are larger and cause Baldwin that much more pain, representing the 60 children who died.

10. After becoming Penance, what was the first team Baldwin joined?

Answer: The Thunderbolts

The Thunderbolts have traditionally been reformed and reforming supervillains who try to do good deeds. This version of the team is run by Norman Osborn, also known as the Green Goblin.
