More news popping out of the Comic-Con in San Diego. Activision has announced that Speedball’s alter-emo ego, Penance, will be in your roster of heroes in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 (PS3, PSP, PS2, Xbox 360, Wii, DS).

Since Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 plays deep into the storyline of Civil War, it’s a bit of a no-brainer that Penance is in the game. “Gameplay-wise he’s going to make for very good fusions. Beyond that, we wanted to have some new characters to be excited by, and finally…he just looks kinda cool,” said director Dan Tanquay.

Apart from Penance’s potential for fusions, Tanquay didn’t mention if Penance will be armed with self-damaging attacks or if he could tank all the enemy fire by himself in remorse.

Activision also confirmed that two more characters are still to be revealed, while one more will “never be revealed” that is to say we won’t know who it is until we get the game. Stan Lee, anyone?
