Origin

When Roger first arrived at Camp Hammond, it was evident that Roger was a very outgoing individual who liked to joke a lot. After almost getting beat up by the towns people after entering a bar, he stole a magazine full of S.P.I.N. tech darts. He did it because the man that saved him in the bar asked him to do so (the man has been revealed to be a soldier in Hydra). Roger felt very guilty though, because the magazine he stole was the same one that Iron Man was trying to use to stop the Hulk. It was revealed that Hardball gained his powers from the Power Broker, just as his brother had. Hardball had intented to kill the Power Broker but was subdued and then given his powers. He was later on drafted into the Initiative by Wonderman, when he saw Roger stop a criminal. Hardball, unknown to anyone else though, had planned on robing a bank that day. The Hydra soldier that had saved Roger in the bar, has has bought Roger's contract from the Power Broker and has intentions of making Hardball in to a Hydra member. Hardball is currently in a relationship with Komodo, who revealed to Roger that in her human form she has no legs, he told her that it didn't matter, which has brought them even closer together.

Recently, the initiative recruits have come into conflict with an evil MVP clone that has got ahold of the tactigon and has names himself KIA. In the final bout with KIA Komodo taunted the clone telling him thats her limbs grow back no matter what he throws at her. He then responded by turning the tactigon into a certain snake that when bitten its venom travels faster to the heart than her regeneration.After biting her with it in the leg, Hardball responded by blasting KIA back, and carryed komodo from the battle. Once out of site Roger told komodo to close her eyes, and then commenced with slicing her legs off with his energy spheres so the venom could not poison her further. After the battle it is shown that komodo's legs had grown back and both her and roger were fine.

Recently the first group of drafted heroes graduated from the Initiative training program including Hardball. He has been assign to to Nevada team under the leadership of Gravity.
