Civil War: Front Line #10
"Embedded Part Ten" marks a turning point in Civil War: Front Line as Robbie Reyes, once Speedball, faces the man responsible for his injury in the wake of the Stamford tragedy. Written by Paul Jenkins and illustrated by Steve Lieber, with colors by June Chung and letters by VC's Randy Gentile, the issue captures a raw, transformative moment—Robbie, now willing to register under the Superhuman Registration Act, is released from prison. He burns his old uniform and dons a new one, its spiked design inflicting constant pain, marking his painful evolution into Penance. The cover by John Watson captures the weight of this change in a stark, evocative image.

Robbie is confronted by the man who shot him, a man whose daughter was killed in the Stamford explosion. Now willing to register in accordance with the law, he is freed from prison. He burns his Speedball uniform and has a new costume made--one that has spikes on both the inside and the outside causing him terrible pain when he wears it. Speedball, one of the happy-go-luckiest heroes in the Marvel Universe, becomes Penance.
