History: (Speedball#6) - The Bug-Eyed Voice went on a crime-spree throughout Springdale getting a lot of media attention. The Voice somehow knew where all his victims kept their valuables and how to get at them. The Voice decided that he needed one more score before he could enjoy tax-free retirement and he decided that score would be Maddie Naylor's antique fair. Maddie's son, Robbie was present at the fair and at the first sign of trouble turned into Speedball. During their fight, Speedball knocked a wire loose and used it to shock the Voice, leaving him dizzy, his voice-distorter broken. He was picked up by the police and taken into custody, revealed to be Arthur Bigelow, an insurance investigator who had been using his job to plan his crimes.
