From Hayseed to X-Man: Cannonball Appreciation

[Justin K.]

I got off of comicvine.com It maybe fan art of something, I'm not really sure.

I noticed the link to comicvine
Wondering where it's originally from
it's all right though...

I love Cannonball. Despite him having the grossest costumes in X-Franchise history.

I like these 2 the most

[Sgt. Preston]

Cannonball's a great character. Kid's come a long way from the naive, goofy-looking farm boy in New Mutants. Hopefully Wells remembers this in his depiction of Guthrie.

Really enjoyed Carey's take on him.

I like these 2 the most

I agree those are the best, but the first one....what's up with the collar? Are those bells? Did he always get lost in the mansion so they forced him to wear that so they would know where he was at all times?

The Children of the Vault had those on their costume too
most of them did (Perro, Aguja, Serafina)
A new trend perhaps?

Carey made Cannoball hot.
Confident, lil' cocky, southern drawel....I loved it.
I can't wait for him in New Mutants!

He's my X crush.

[Mr. Palmer]

Cannonball is my favorite X-Man. Heck, I have all 3 of his action figures sitting here on my desk staring at me. He rawks!

[Justin K.]

He's my X crush.

He's got personality, but don't forget about the bod.

He's got personality, but don't forget about the bod.

where do people keep finding these seminude fan art images? seriously there are nude images of basically everyone its so bizarre!


i remember i used to like drawing shirtless northstar when i was in middle school, i don't know why.... ;D

cannonball is excellent. i feel like he would be very intimidating in reality.

[the Hornet]

He is the only X-Man I prefer over the O5 and that is saying a lot. As for going from skinny to muscles, well, years of field work can do that I think so that is a small issue. My fav moments were his confidence in leading X-Force despite bad odds to coming on his own among Storm's XSE where basicaly took control over the team to lead them on a rescue mission for Bishop to Carey's cool character moments with him. Without a doubt his best moments as a character were in Fabian;s X-Force but he has had some nice potrayal by Claremont and Carey too.

[NewMutant]

First of all, awesome thread effort, like the writeup and pics
Second, I truly appreciate Cannonball as well
Most of my exposure to him was from X-Force
90s X-men, and Carey's X-men

Thank you! I was surprised Cannonball didn't have a fan page already! He is top 5 of my favorite characters!

[NewMutant]

Where's this from?
Looks like something out of a video game
I like it

That IS from a video game... He was an unlockable character in X-Men Legends 2 but only for the PSP.

Has anyone played as him? I only had it for the PS2... I was tempted to get a PSP because of it... but it would have been for one game, and I'm not much of a gamer.

[NewMutant]

He's been friends with Bobby for a while now, long before they were on Rogue team together.

Very true... I feel like it validated their friendship more. I was just trying to mention characters that he is close to and it fit better there than before. But it did begin when he first joined and they both went undercover together for the Graydon Creed election and in the Kelly/Seagle run.

I'll try and update!

[NewMutant]

Cannonball rocks, I always thought of him as like the Cyclops of the New Mutants.......you know only likeable

I completely agree.
