Samuel Guthrie (Earth-519)

Powers
Homo Superior Physiology: Having an X-Gene like many within the Guthrie family, Sam found himself being reborn as a mutant at an early age. Said powers bestowed to him via the gift of his physiology Bobby's powers would manifest early on like in many of his siblings. Salvo often enjoyed the benefits of his abilities in his youth to later life, being something of a hometown hero in his dull little end of the south because of it.
 * Thermochemical Initiation: Cannonball's mutant ability revolves around harnessing and controlling the body's natural thermo-chemical energy which he releases from the surface of his skin. This propulsive force often works as thrust to jettison himself through the air like his namesake suggests at great heights and tremendous speeds, with considerable maneuverability at his disposal. Sam's control over his speed, direction and momentum stems from sheer force of will. Only able to release this energy from his feet and middle torso at first, but now he can fire it from almost any part of his body at will, to a wide variety of effects, such as channeling it into bio-kinetic blasts from his hands or riding atop said exhaust field like a surfboard. There are many outlier aspects to his abilities he has yet to properly master which are the thermal, the kinetic and the chemical proponents of his mutant power. But throughout the years training under the likes of Prof. X, the Externals, Cable and the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. Cannonball; now going by Salvo, has vastly expanded upon his power potential.
 * Blast Field: A protective aura largely comprised of kinetic energy also manifests itself around Samuel as an impenetrable and virtually indestructible "blast field." This blast-field functions acts as a tactile shield which is frictionless and immune to the effects of inertia which Samuel can extend it to encompass others in its protective embrace. Either shaping 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.
 * Nigh Invulnerability: When he is using his superpowers, Cannonball possesses virtual impregnability due to the energy field that forms around him while blasting.
 * kinetic Deformation: By projecting his energy field outwardly, Cannonball can latch onto and physically skew the material consistency of anything and anyone it envelopes. Through which Sam can change/morph the properties of matter using kinetic energy to control atomic and sub-molecular variance, distorting size, shape and density of normally rigid or brittle targets.
 * Kinetic Tethering: Salvo learned he can generate remote kinetic fields and project them outward towards his surroundings. These targeted kinetic force bubbles then link with his own blast field so as to enable him control over their motion and friction, allowing him to move anything and everything he's bound too no matter how heavy it is along any surface at variable speeds by decreasing it's adhesion and mass to an extent.
 * Mass Conversion: Through more precise manipulation of his thremochemical energies, Salvo can taker any object or utensil on hand and transfuse it's mass; e.i. the internal body of matter comprising it, into raw dynamism by agitating the atoms in base substance. This has the effect of transitioning and projecting the molecular energy of which as concussive energy force, somewhat like a chain gun. Different materials react accordingly to such an effect of Samuel's power; but in all cases once it's energized mass has been spent. The item in question disintegrates shortly afterward; heavier, denser material forms yield longer spanning and more powerful blast discharges than weaker substances. While organic elements tend to burn out quicker than than non-biological objects used, this could be circumvented if said abstracts are properly nourished with the life giving substances needed while to stabilize itself while being used. Salvo can bypass the need for a tangible amount of bulk by taking the ambient dust or oxygen in his vicinity and converting it's mass into energy using his own extremities as channeling conduits. Objects without a topographical focal point from which to release the energy through simply become overcharged explosive, not unlike a kinetically charged object as used by fellow X-Man; Gambit.
 * Energy Transference: Sam can convert then discharge the converted molecular energy from one end to another by touching the item he seeks to weaponize then transferring it using his own body as a breaker of sorts in order to channel said energy. Usually using one hand as the changeover affecting the channeled object while using the other hand as the release funnel for the energy outbreak.
 * Field Imparting: Sam can also envelop objects or people within a blast field of their own by passing off his own power onto them. Effectively turning anything he focuses on into explosive ballistics with their own short lived blast fields. Ones which he has total control over even from overlong distances, Salvo literally lives up to his namesake by transforming regular mundanity into something more volatile, propelled by it's own internal thermochemical force as guided missiles he can direct at any given target before it eventually expends it's own energy reserves before imploding on itself.
 * Activation Energy Manipulation:
 * Bio-Thermal Manipulation: Sam would learn through the chemical nature of his powers that he has the ability to control natural physiological temperature and phase transition. Effectively, he can adjust his own chemical nature for a number of purposes such as emitting heat or cold beams from his eyes, projecting gusts of flame & frost from his mouth, channeling geothermal force from the earth itself to flash melt the ground beneath ones feet or simply liquefy it for reshaping it back into solid form.
 * External: While long being theorized that Cannonball may be one of the Externals, it was eventually learned that despite all the questionable evidence. It was later confirmed he is in fact one amongst their immortal number. Cable was able to confirm it with professor X and Saul Garbha that Sam possessed their likeness and special traits.
 * Immortality: As an External, Sam is immortal. Able to heal and regenerate damaged or destroyed bodily tissue an an expedient rate.
 * Rapid Healing: Having the natural ability to endure injuries (within unknown limits) without lasting harm or even feeling pain such as knife wounds, gunshots and lethal explosions.
 * Resurrection: Being immortal, Salvo has shown to be able to resurrected himself from death.
 * Psychic-Link: As an External, Samuel shares a telepathic-link with others amongst the Externals that allows them to not only sense each other and where, but when one rises from the dead and when one is killed by another External.

Abilities
Xenolingual: Like his fellow teammates, Samuel's time traversing universes and realities have broadened his cultural horizons. Taking study sessions with his good friend Douglas Ramsey has gifted Mr. Guthrie with a vast speech vocabulary he often makes use of in his myriad travels.
