Synopsis: Speedball is carrying pizzas when he is distracted by Rage fighting a dark doppelganger, who he dubs “En-rage-d”. Speedball explains that it is part of an invasion of sorts (the Infinity War), and he is delivering the pizzas to all of the heroes gathered at Four Freedoms Plaza. Speedball leaves Rage to see if he has a double. At Four Freedoms Plaza, Nova has been invited to go into space with other heroes.
Meanwhile, Speedball has made his way to Springdale, which is in ruins, apparently thanks to him. He realizes it is his double, and he might attack his mom, so he heads home, hunted by the police and his D.A. father.
Rage is fighting his evil double, whom he absorbs. This causes him to become much more violent when fighting crime. He learns he has to use his anger to his advantage and not let it take control of him.
In Springdale, “Blackball” has found Robbie’s mother, and Robbie comes just in time. Robbie becomes infuriated and beats the evil twin, wondering what it says about him, having to lash out in anger like that. Robbie’s father discovers he is Speedball
