10 X-Men Characters Writers Need To Stop Using
4. Cannonball
Sam Guthrie has been a man of many teams: the New Mutants, X-Force, the X-Men, and the Avengers, just to name a few. And while Sam has always been a mutant character above all else, it was actually his tenure in Jonathan Hickman’s incredible Avenger’s run that Sam met his future wife, Izzy Kane, also known as Smasher.
Izzy serves as a Superguardian of the Shi’ar Empire, meaning Sam is currently out in the galaxy living it up and taking care of their newly born child. What’s more is he seems genuinely happy having traded spandex for diapers.
X-Men comics have already had their fair share of absentee father - *cough* Professor X and Cyclops *cough* - so please writers, let Cannonball take care of his Cannon-baby.
