Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is Cannonball's real name?

Answer: Sam Guthrie

Roberto DaCosta was Sunspot, Doug Ramsey was Cypher, and Nate (Nathan) Summers was Cable. All were members of the New Mutants!

2. Who was Cannonball's first girlfriend shown in the comics? She may not have necessarily been his first ever, but she was the first shown in "New Mutants".

Answer: Lila Cheney

Cannonball began dating Lila Cheney on and off again throughout the years beginning with "New Mutants" annual #1. He did date Tabitha Smith (Boom-Boom) for a while, and Rahne Sinclair (Wolfsbane) had a crush on him early on. He was never anything but a friend to Danielle Moonstar (Mirage/Psyche).

3. What is the code name of Cannonball's younger sister, Paige Guthrie?

Answer: Husk

While all four listed were on the same team (Generation X), Skin and Synch were males while M was the code name of Monique.

4. In Cannonball's very first appearance, what villain did he work for?

Answer: Donald Pierce

Donald Pierce found Cannonball before Professor X could and coerced the young man into working for him. In a battle with the New Mutants, Pierce ordered Cannonball to kill one of the incapacitated young mutants. Cannonball refused and Pierce ordered him killed. Luckily, Professor X intervened.

5. What sect of people did Cannonball discover he belonged to, all of whom possessed unnaturally long life?

Answer: Externals

The Externals were a group of mutants that were blessed with near immortality. Cannonball discovered he was one when he was killed by Sauron and recovered a short while later.

6. What is Cannonball's younger brother Jay's code name?

Answer: Icarus

Icarus not only had wings, like Archangel (Warren Worthington III of the X-Men) and an incredible healing factor (again, like Archangel) but he also possessed a melodious voice thanks to his mutation (making him much more like a traditional Angel than Warren ever was).

Answer: A broken leg

While fighting, the Fury managed to penetrate Cannonball's blast field, forcing him to the ground. In the ensuing struggle, the Fury broke his leg, but Cannonball still managed to break free.

8. During a haitus from the X-Men after battling the Fury, what former colleague approached Cannonball to join a team?

Answer: Cable

Cable approached Cannonball in hopes of reforming X-Force to fight a new menace. Cannonball had already been approached by someone from Cable's past which led to an all out fight between Cannonball and Cable. Cable won, but only by using his mental powers to force Cannonball to drop his blast field.

9. When did Cannonball's powers first manifest themselves?

Answer: During a cave-in at a coal mine

Just like his father, Cannonball worked the coal mines at a young age to support his mother and siblings after his father passed away. During a collapse, Cannonball's powers emerged and Cannonball blasted himself and another miner to safety.

10. What Morlock (the mutants who lived in the sewers under Manhattan) had a crush on Cannonball?

Answer: Marrow

When Marrow joined the X-Men, most, especially Storm, were suspicious of her and constantly berated her, believing that's what she needed. Cannonball, however, believed in giving her a chance and was nice to her quite often. As such, she developed a crush, but it never got beyond that.
