The ACES competition was created by Penelope, under the guise of the Black Baron, in the chance of attracting worthy opponents. Participants included teams from various countries, as well as teams led by Muggshot and Penelope herself. Penelope went on to become the undefeated champion of the competition, partly due to the fact that she would have her gunships shoot anyone down who was about to win. With Penelope subsequently joining the Cooper Gang and abandoning the Black Baron disguise, the fate of the competition is unknown.
