Samuel Zachery Guthrie, also known as Cannonball and Samuel Guthrie, is a character from the Marvel Comics series.
== Charactah Account ==
Cannonball is a mutant with the ability to propel himself through the air like a human rocket. Over the years, Sam has grown from a New Mutant, to the leader of the original X-Force, to a full-fledged X-Man. He is currently a member of the U.S.Avenger.
Sam is normally one of the nicest, sweetest people you could ever meet but can be violent once angered. He is also a deapan snarker and is far more cunning and intelligent than he looks.
Cannonball is a mutant with abilities that allow him to become like a human rocket. He is able to discharge thermo-kinetic energy from his body, thus thrusting himself forward in high-speed flight. When he flies, a very durable force field surrounds his body and any passengers he may be carrying, making him and/or them virtually invulnerable to harm. Originally, Sam was unable to stop himself once he had begun flying. He would have to have to either find an object strong enough to force him to stop, or keep flying until his powers ran out of energy. But, with practice, Cannonball has learned to stop himself without having to resort to either of those options. It should be noted that, even when flying at top speed, Cannonball still has rather impressive maneuverability. He has also started to learn to project his thermo-kinetic energy into powerful concussive blasts. Sam is also a capable hand to hand combatant, having been trained by Cable.
