Samuel Guthrie

Samuel Guthrie (Cannonball) is a Kentuckian mutant with the ability to propel himself into the air and is invulnerable while doing so.

Mutant Abilities

 * Thermo-Chemical Energy Field Propulsion: Sam possesses the ability to generate thermo-chemical light-purple energy from his body. This energy is used as thrust to cause his body to be propelled through the air, like his namesake, at great heights and speeds. At first he could only release this energy from his feet, but now he can fire it from almost any part of his body, to a wide variety of effects, such as channeling it into bio-kinetic blasts from his hands.
 * Blast Field: This energy also manifests itself as an impenetrable and virtually indestructible "blast field." He can use this blast-field to function as a personal shield or extending it to encompass others, shape the field around another person to imprison them, or absorb outside kinetic impact into his own energy supply and then re-channel it to increase the bludgeoning power of his blows or create explosive shock waves upon impact. Sam is also capable of generating the blast field without actually having to blast off, though it takes him extreme concentration to prevent himself from propelling into the air
 * Flight: Sam is able to fly while using his mutant abilities.
 * Superhuman Durability: When he is using his superhuman powers, Sam possesses superhuman durability due to the energy field that forms around his body.
