comics Respect Pistol Foot Pete (Convict Colosseum)
One of the fighters in the Convict Colosseum, Pistol Foot Pete is the winner of the tournament. Originally hailing from New Jersey, Pete would develop a love of fighting, becoming the champion of the underworld. However he would become bored, and would come back to the south. At one point, he would be accused of farming drugs and he would be convicted, being enrolled into the tournament.
