As a young mutant, Angelica was recruited by Emma Frost soon after her powers manifested. However, after being manipulated by fellow Hellion Empath and learning that the White Queen was training her into an assassin, Angelica struck out on her own and became a superhero. She spent years as a member of both the New Warriors and the Avengers, retired during Marvel's Civil War, and later joined the Young Allies. Although her experiences with Emma Frost led her to distance herself from the mutant community, she did briefly join the X-Men while teaching physics at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning.

As the only survivor of the accident, Robbie was blamed by the public for what happened and was sent to prison.

Suffering from severe PTSD, and having lost control of his powers, Robbie fell into a depression and took to cutting himself (the only way he could still tap into his powers). Having sunk to his lowest point, he was contacted by Norman Osborn, then leader of the Thunderbolts who gave him an ultimatum: join the team, or rot in jail. Taking the offer, Robbie dropped himself in a new suit and took the name Penance.

* DarkerAndEdgier: As Penance.
* DeathByAdaptation: The novelization of ''ComicBook/CivilWar'' sees him die alongside his teammates during the Stamford incident instead of becoming Penance.

to:

* CharacterDevelopment: After becoming Penance as a harmful way of dealing with his grief, Robbie begins his tenure on the Thunderbolts as a sniveling wreck, nearly unable to even function, let alone be an asset on missions. Over the course of the run, he goes to a shrink and learns how to deal with his grief in a productive way, finally tearing down the mental blocks he had created preventing him from using his powers. By the time he has left the Thunderbolts (after Osborn is dethroned), he is back to his old self again. He manages to track down the one truly responsible for the Stanford disaster, Nitro, and forces him to wear the Penance suit as punishment for his crimes. While this does provide some karmic retribution, it does little to alleviate Robbie's grief, further reinforcing the message that the DarkerAndEdgier approach won't actually solve his problems, and only time and self-healing will.
* DarkerAndEdgier: As Penance.

* DependingOnTheWriter: Warren Ellis depicted him as a quiet, almost entirely shattered wreck. When Jenkins did him for a one-shot during Ellis' run, he wrote Robbie as just being apathetic and kind of ditzy.
* FunPersonified: Used to be this, until the Stamford incident. After a brief flirtation with DarkerAndEdgier, he seemed to bounce back entirely in the 2014 series, but it was quickly revealed that it was a mask, he was a StepfordSmiler[=/=]SadClown, and the deadly serious Penance persona was still underneath.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After the Stamford incident, courtesy of ComicBook/CivilWar, Speedball adopted the grimmer, grittier costume and outlook of Penance, blaming himself for the incident and becoming a psychological trainwreck. Later though, he gets better to an extent.

* SadClown: Behind the comedic Speedball persona, Robbie Baldwin is coping with his dysfunctional family background and recently the burden of his guilt from the Stamford incident.

to:

* PsychoactivePowers: Revealed in the Creator/WarrenEllis run; after the Stamford disaster, Robbie discovered [[DiscardAndDraw his powers had changed]] and now only worked when he was in pain. Cue the iron maiden styled combat suit. Except, Doc Samson pointed out that people who cut themselves process pain abnormally; the adrenaline rush of self-mutilation triggers an endorphin reaction, in effect making them ''high''. Thus, his powers have the same trigger as always; he can't use them unless he's happy. As the FunPersonified character he had been before ComicBook/{{Civil War|2006}}, it makes some sense that this had previously not been noticed. Discovering this helps him start overcoming his depression.
* TheQuietOne: In stark contrast to his previous jokester attitude, Penance rarely ever speaks.
* ResetButton: By the end of ''ComicBook/DarkReign'', he is back to his Speedball persona. Considering how poorly his change to Penance was received, [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools this was probably for the best]]. See CharacterDevelopment above.
* SadClown: Behind the comedic Speedball persona, Robbie Baldwin is coping with his dysfunctional family background and recently the burden of his guilt from the Stamford incident.



* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: How Robbie Baldwin got his Penance powers. Basically after he had survived the explosion but seemingly lost his Speedball powers, Robbie spent many days tormented in prison until the Penance powers came to life when he had a near-death experience from being shot on the way to court.
* YouFightLikeACow: Every time Speedball fights against the foes, he always jokes and blabbers away.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Speedball was about 15 when he joined the New Warriors, he looked like he was at least 18 or early 20s when he is in his superhero persona. When Chord told Speedball to drop his superhero stint and go undercover, he transformed back to the short, scrawny Robbie Baldwin much to the surprise of his teammates in the early issues.

* ThereAreNoTherapists: Averted, though not through lack of trying. Doc Samson is hired by Norman Osborn and assigned as Robbie's shrink, but only so as to fake his psych evaluation. Unfortunately for Osborn, Samson actually cared about Robbie's condition. He worked with Robbie for several months helping him come to terms with his grief, and helped him regain his Speedball powers (the latter of which he kept hidden from Osborn, hoping that Robbie would use his newfound confidence and returned abilities to undermine Osborn's schemes).
