The Better Heel-Turn: Slapstick or Speedball?

[Monty_Cristo]

one had a bouncing cat. the other was a living cartoon character. so which character's trip to the dark side do you prefer?

[Enigmanaut]

Slapstick. I could always see that little oddball snapping. What they've done to Robbie, though... it's exactly what happens when writers mistake "changing everything about a character" for character evolution.

it worst that speedball more establish


Slapstick on the other hand basicly been in limbo. Also slapstick still kind of in charcter just a dark version of the charcter

Speedball just totaly differnt

[Monty_Cristo]

i guess P-Cat the Penitent Puss should have been an option, as well.

[Jinxer]

ugh... Bleedball... more like Captain Emo.

"Penance, what's taking so long?!"
"I have to cut myself to activate my powers!"
"DO IT!"
"CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAWLING IIIIIIIIN MY SKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN"

I would hesitate to compare them at all.

Penance is a degenerating sad sack with a dash of emo (okay, actually alot of it).

Slapstick is a happy go lucky cartoon that is losing touch with reality and it's rules.

The only one of the two I would consider a heel is Slapstick (even though he probably doesn't think he's done anything really wrong). If Dan Slott continues down the path of possibilities that the end of AI#6 presented, it could be very enertaining.
