Immortal?

Wasn't Sam also supposed to be an immortal? I can't remember anything about it, but I think that bears some mention if it's true (or if it was once a major part of his character).12.47.223.8 21:43, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

• He was identified as being immortal at one point. In one of the very early X-Force issues he was apparently killed by Sauron, then came back in perfect health minutes later. Selene later claimed that Sam wasn't really immortal (though she can hardly be considered a credible source), and that's the last it's been mentioned as far as I know. And come to think of it, Selene didn't actually say specifically that Sam is mortal. Just that he wasn't an External. Redxiv 04:01, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
  • That's right. He was supposed to be one of the Externals, but the whole idea of "Externals" fell out of favor and was dropped, as seen in the deaths of all their members except the popular Selene. Noneofyourbusiness 20:33, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't think that counts as a retcon, as this article implies. "Selene said so" and "it hasn't been mentioned recently" don't negate others claiming him to be and his surviving mortal injuries. A retcon would be if they established that he had a mutant healing factor or if he took a wound that he didin't recover from. Remember, Selene said the same BS about Apocoypse cuz she was being spiteful about his technology, ignoring the fact that he had lived for centuries before obtaining his technology. Onikage725 no matter what we say HE IS NOT AN IMMORTAL his sheild of his power allows him to suri\vive mortal wounds Cowboyx 14:47, 10 July 2007 (UTC) There is some debate as to how Sam survived the attack from Sauron. The Externals, I believe were dropped as a plot due to some controversy with the "Highlander" franchise. As it stands, Marvel has refused to address the plot since having the rest of the externals killed off. user:cowboyx july 10 2007

Could one of you who is better informed on this particular issue clean up the last sentence of the Powers and Abilities section so that it is at least coherent and provides a basis for clarification and revision? Inkslinger 04:09, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

ASGARDS ADOPTED SON ? Back when Sam heroically saved Odin's life in Asgard everyone assumes that Sam's mutant power saved the day perhaps instead Sam's heroic deed recognized and shared as the Asgardian Warriors "creed" recharged the Odinforce which saved both Immortal Odin & mutant mortal Sam Guthrie, could this event later explain Sam's Immortal External status? Should Thor ever need help lifting his trusty hammer Mjolnir is Sam worthy of the task? Jalanp2 (talk) 02:25, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Ultimate

Where did the picture of Ultimate Cannonball go?

Probably deleted on purpose. Too many pictures in an article is frowned upon by Wiki and Ult. Cannonball just isn't that big of a character. Lots42 14:49, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Immortallity

I think future writers touched on Cannonball's immortallity. I stumbled upon an XSE issue of Uncanny where Cannonball is seemingly impaled by the Fury as the cliffhanger.

Arm?

It looks like he may have lost an arm in X-men 203. Anyone confirm? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Savre (talk • contribs) 03:56, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

That was Iceman and he was in his "Ice" form, so he was shown to be able to reform body parts that were shattered. Cannonball didn't lose the arm.--RossF18 04:35, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

New Brotherhood of What?

I don't understand this section at all. Lots42 (talk) 19:07, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

After thinking about it, it seems to be forbidden speculation. Wikipedia is not a Crystal Ball. Lots42 (talk) 02:31, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Compressed

This article needs a LOT of compressing. Lots42 (talk) 02:30, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

True. But in the section regarding Rogue's team it dismisses the Children of the Vault in one line. In that storyline was concerned with him having lived a subjective lifetime with Serafina should that not be noted as it was supposedly a defining character moment?

Merge Discussion

This article contains very little real-world info, and is little more than a plot dump. Every source is primary. It can easily be merged to List of Marvel Comics characters: C#Cannonball without losing any actual information about the character. I performed this merge boldly, but User:Spidey104 contested it. A previous discussion of mergers like this can be found here. Argento Surfer (talk) 18:34, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

This properly belongs here, because the fixed merge template will lead other editors there. Spidey104 18:37, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
