well i did want this game but since i waited too late to preorder and get juggernaut i dont want to play this piece of shiet now. jk still want it but i want juggernaut also is there a way to get it and still play as juggernaut?
@Vemutin I know, thats why i said that he blames himself, i think we all know its not his fault, but HE makes clear several times that he felt it was his fault, i mean the whole costume is obvious because hes punishing himself (and later, nitro) but yeah, my comment is totally on your side... even if he wasnt the one who killed the kids, still has the right to be depressed as fuck, all the world hates him.
Penance is the guy Robbie "Speedball" Baldwin turns into after the Stamford CT disaster. He discovers his powers after that event, can only be triggered by pain. So he has costume built for him with 612 inward facing spikes inside it, representing each victim of the disaster. This way he's always kept in permanent pain. Hope that answers ya lol

@MikeSandy09 He's an Emo man, and A Masochist. If your powers operate on pain, I guess it would happen eventually. Oh yeah, and the whole, "OH GOD PEOPLE DIED BECAUSE OF ME", Thing.
penance once was the hero speedball. He was the only hero to live through the events that started civil war. He fond his powers only worked when he was in pain. He felt he was to blame for all the people dieing when Nova well went Nova. So he had an outfit made that was pretty much an Iron Maiden. The 62 larger spikes in it are for the children who died. He wears this outfit and renamed himself penance.

@orasen123 He's speedball but when Nitro destroyed stamford he lost his powers and gains them through pain, his suit has 61 spikes in the helmet for the kids who died, and some 500 spikes in the body for everyone else because he takes the blame ffor them.
Im actually not that fat. Fire service doesnt look too kindly on tubby folk on their payroll. I know, considering i think of myself as a bit of a geek. Still though, you only live because i allow it.
listen man u just made me sortah feel bad for dis comment BUT AT LEAST U HAVE A JOB some of these bums cant even lift there leg up and there cat is diein of idk ear cancer cuz they to lazy to get up from da game
He is just a scapegoat and its a shame that he actually felt that he had directly killed all those people..theres a line between actually killing the people and making an honest mistake by underestimating the villain..
He was one of the characters who caused the Civil War. His name is Robert Baldwin, he was called Speedball before he took on the name of Penance after the Civil War.
"As Penance his powers seems to have altered and is now linked to his central nervous system, thus the best way to activate said nerval system is to inflict pain, which is why he wears a suit of armor with internal spikes.
His powers no longer manifests as bubbles. They now appear to be in the form of energy blasts and lose force the longer they "let fly"."
Its not a bad line up but i am slightly upset that they chose to forget Blade, punisher & ghost rider. And chose not to make Cable, War Machine or bishop playable.
Well that sucks EVEN more. Im sick of of different consoles getting different characters in games, its unnecessary & pisses folk off. Soul Calibur 4 was like that with the yoda & Darth Vader thing. I know they corrected it later but it showed it wasnt necessary. I want cyclops in the game, hes my favourite xman & my 1st choice on the legends games.
And HULK??? Oh thats right, HE WAS ON A DIFFERENT PLANET.
FYI Punisher was involved in Cap Americas side during the conflict but was later expelled AND Blade WAS involved. SHIELD hired him to track down Wolverine as he would have the best chance of arresting him. He later relised the error of his ways, let wolverine go & then buggered off himself.
Dont try to out comic me on this game, there was no excuse for leaving out the darker characters & putting in Thor & Hulk.
in the comics punisher was part of Caps. side for a wile he joined in the middle of the story, but was kicked out after cap. beat the shit out of him for killing some villains. The thing was Cap. was the one man punisher would not fight, he took a beating and never fought back. Caps. Death really effected the punisher for a short while punisher was wearing cap. outfit with a little modifying to it.
its part of the civil war deal based on the comic book. Iron man wants super heroes to sign an agreement making them part of the law system and part of the government by rendering their identy. Captain America says that by doing so, they would be breaking an age old tradition and is against it. Every super hero has the right to his/her identy and America also explains it would be going against the US constitution for privacy.
you cant pick any of those guys in the beginning. You start with America, Iron man, Wolverine and spiderman. As you play, then you unlock characters, unless theres a code out that can unlock guys already.
He might. He's increasing in popularity. After he gets out of Avengers : The Initiative I bet he gains quite a big following. He'll probably end up reuniting the New Warriors with Nova eventually.
Deadpool couldn't do anything to Penance he has a kinetic forcefield which denies punches, kicks, sword blasts, bullets, energy blasts, anything! Penance is practically invulnerable and is said to be able to cause Hulk level amounts of destruction. I like DP, but Penance would kick his ass as he did Wolverine's.
That's Robbie Baldwin, he used to be called Speedball and was on the New Warriors. After Civil War he became Penance since he blames himself for the deaths of a few hundred schoolkids in Stamford Conn. He can only use his powers when he feels pain and his suit is covered in spikes both inside and out.
The public held him responsible because he was the survivor. Everyone else blamed him and he became the most hated man in the MU. That's without the manipulation and torment he suffered from Norman Osbourn eand Moonstone - that's why he's messed up.
so old speedball is blamed even if he didn't cause it? that's just sad. its kinda gross that he "thinks that his powers only work when he's in pain. the whole "masochistic anti-hero thing is kinda weird. nonetheless penance is still cool.
His powers did only work when he was in pain for a while. But he's gained control of them now. The masochism is weird, he's even stated he enjoys wearing the suit and would wear it all the time if he could. But he's gradually removing the interior spikes, so he'll eventually get past it.
ya he'd wear it all the time if he could. but penance as a character anti-hero rather than a hero in my opinion is cooler than speedball. I'm sure he will have a speedball alternative costume
Why does Penance remind me of Iron Man?
