Real name: Samuel Zachary Guthrie
Codename: Cannonball
Age: let’s say 19
Detailed Description of Powers: Sam can generate a thermal/kinetic field around himself which renders him invulnerable, and allows him to fly. Though it usually manifests in his lower body, he has been able to extend it outward as a shield and channel it into his fists for an extra strong punch. Also he is supposedly an External, or an immortal mutant, an attribute that revealed itself after he survived being impaled by one of Sauron’s talons. ((I’m not certain if I should use this ability, any feed back would be nice))
Place of Birth; Cumberland, Kentucky, USA
Known Family: Thomas (father deceased), Lucinda (mother), Joshua (brother), Paige (sister), Joelle (sister), Elizabeth (sister), Jeb (brother), Lewis (brother), Lucas (uncle)
Hair: long and blond
Eyes: blue
Height/Weight/Build: 6’, 150 lbs, average, not too muscular, build
Appearance: Sam isn’t into the frills of fashion, so, more often or not he wears plain or flannel shirts with jeans. He has no tattoos or piercing of any kind.
Classes: Sam is a bright young man, but his devotion to his family and his need to be able to go home to there for them have kept his class list down to the basic college freshman courses.
Interests: Sam is a science fiction buff, he especially enjoys the works of Robert A. Heinlein.
Personality: Sam is a real "salt of the earth" down home boy. He is honest, well mannered, and responsible. As far as flaws go, he is easily intimidated by more experienced X-men, and more often than not he is self conscious about being of their number. He cares very much about his family and always tries to be there for them whenever he can
Bio: Sam Guthrie is a mutant whose latent superhuman abilities first manifested them when he was trapped with co-workers in a coal mine. He had been working there to help support his large family, including his widowed mother. The stress of trying to save his partner and himself triggered his propulsive power and enabled them to escape. Donald Pierce, a renegade member of the Inner Circle of the Hellfire Club, located Guthrie and learned of his superhuman powers by means of a machine the Hellfire Club had built by adapting plans they had stolen from Professor Xavier's Cerebro device. Pierce recruited Guthrie to be one of his operatives, and sent him into battle against Xavier and his newly organized group, the New Mutants. However, during the battle, he refused to obey Pierce's order to kill the New Mutants, and Pierce attempted to kill Guthrie in retaliation. Xavier, however, saved Guthrie's life by defeating Pierce. Realizing that Guthrie was not an evil person, Xavier invited him to join the New Mutants, and Cannonball rose to become one of the New Mutants' leaders.
When the mutant warrior from the far future, Cable, reorganized the New Mutants into X-Force, Cannonball became a member of the new team.
On one of X-Force's first missions, Cannonball was apparently slain in combat by Sauron, a member of the Toad's new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. However, Cannonball soon returned to life and full health. Cable theorized that Cannonball was one of the Externals, a small number of immortal mutants. Whether or not Cannonball really is an External remains to be seen.
Recently, Sam graduated from his leadership role on the mutant team, X-Force, to the X-Men
