* BouncingBattler: Speedball's powers absorb and redirect kinetic energy, so he bounces through his battles (not always entirely in control) and anyone attacking him is likely to get the energy of that attack reflected or redirected.

!! ''Speedball'' contains examples of the following tropes:
* AnthologyComic: A variant, as most issues include several short ''Speedball'' stories rather than a single long adventure.
* PowerIncontinence: After gaining his powers, Robbie avoids sports and is wary of any sudden physical impact, in case the kinetic energy triggers his transformation.
* SelfDisposingVillain: The fright mask gang, who raid Hammond labs immediately after Robbie first becomes Speedball, flee as soon as the police arrive. Their van takes a corner too fast, rolls and catches fire, with police commenting that they'll be lucky if the coroner has enough left to identify.
* SpeechBubble: As Speedball, Robbie's voice apparently sounds "weird", which is represented by a red ring around his speech bubbles.
