Robbie Baldwin falls into all of the above as the bouncin’ masked marvel known as Speedball, created by Roger Stern and Steve Ditko. Speedball was known as the wacky jokester of the New Warriors, though everything changed after one of Marvel’s darkest events.Robbie Baldwin was a young kid with big dreams when he was transformed by a science experiment gone wrong while interning at a lab.
