Samuel Zachary Guthrie is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Chris Claremont and artist Bob McLeod, the character first appeared in Marvel Graphic Novel #4 (September 1982).[1] Guthrie belongs to the subspecies of humans called mutants, who are born with superhuman abilities.[2] He possesses the power to fly at jet speeds while encased in an impenetrable force field.[3] He is known under the codename Cannonball.[4]
The eldest of a large Kentucky coal mining family,[5] Samuel Guthrie is a founding member of the X-Men's junior team, the New Mutants.[6] Several of his siblings are also mutants who have joined X-Men-related teams.[7] Guthrie served as X-Force's second-in-command and field leader, eventually joining the X-Men as the first member of a secondary team to "graduate" to the main team.[8] He was also a member of the Avengers.[9]
Since his original introduction in comics, the character has been featured in various other Marvel-licensed products, including video games, animated television series, and merchandise. Charlie Heaton portrayed Sam Guthrie in the 2020 film The New Mutants (2020).
