Transcript:
Rip Haywire Rip: It all started when I was a boy - I was on yet another top secret mission with my mom. Steve: I'm listening, mercenary swine! At first, I thought most kids my age spent their summer vacations running reconnaissance for their mother's top secret missions. Rip: You're good mama bird - move out! Mom had sno-cone juice in her veins - no job was too hard. We lived on danger and fun-shaped macaroni - those were good days - Good days - but like little Michael Jackson, I longed for a normal childhood - getting wrapped up in marvel's "secret wars" and getting sick on big league chew. Mom: On three we shut this poor excuse for an evil terror group down, eh, Rip? One-two- Rip: Mom, I want out! Shrapnel wounds and knife fights are only fun a handful of times. Mom: Aww, c'mon, kiddo. Cover mommy with the AK-47 - it's our favorite assault rifle.

Hold on. Who’s this supposed to be?
Is Dr. Pain Rip’s mother or stepmother? And if the latter, who is this?

Just possible that is Dr. Pain. One stripe of black hair up the middle and the blonde could have faded to gray with time.

Marvel Secret Wars? Whew, what a reference! One of the early cross-title events and the only long-lasting effect happened to Spider-Man. Yep…Google that one.
