From Hayseed to X-Man: Cannonball Appreciation

**dustndreams** · 08-17-2009, 05:18 PM

So I'm loving this thread. I always appreciated this guy and Cannonball is a great tactician and has an expansive power set. I've always wanted to see the top x-men tacticians pick a team, do war games for a few books/or as a story in the back on a secluded spot Big 10 tournament style

..wild card teams being thrown in from the losing teams w/ the losers picking the wildcard leader and the picked leader picking the squad
Canonball's team would make the finals

changing direction, if Sam was to hook up with someone who is an active member of the x-men now, who do you think would complement him well?

ROGUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I kind of like that idea, actually. Someone suggested X-23 which would certainly be interesting, but she's a bit young, I think.

I'd rather Rogue. She is too young.

I object to Rogue and Cannonball. The only thing I really see the two having in common is being from the south.
They have worked together in X-treme X-men, but Rogue was with Gambit at the time, meaning no time for flirting.

I think cannonball has been groomed to be the next leader of the x-men like Cyclops was

Really enjoyed Carey's take on him.

Yep he's gone from a naive somewhat insecure country hick who buckled under criticism. To a guy with spine of steel who will take on all commers.

In The new mutants series it all ready seems that cyclops has take the role as Xavier and cannonball is taking a more early days Cyclops

Who says they really have to have anything in common? Opposites attract sometimes. Cyclops and Emma don't seem to have much in common on the surface as well, besides being emotionally constipated.

I don't know, I guess like the idea of him being with Rogue because he's so sweet. Remy's a charmer, but he hardly goes into the 'aww, how adorkable' category. He's too mischievous and casa nova for that.

Remy is better off with Jean, Jean has a hidden wild streak that can Remy can bring out without all the emotional baggage of Logan. Plus they are both Storm's close friends and I totally can see Storm being stuck in the middle of the arguments and making up.

Sam and Rogue actually have a long history (even though some were retconed into existence) and came from different upbringing despite being from the south and they both have different levels of strenths that can complement each other well.

I'd rather see Jean and Sam than either of those. She hasn't been aging so it's not too much, maybe.

Where are all these mini X-Men avatars coming from?

Also... has anyone played X-Men Legends 2 on PSP? I want to know what its like to play as Cannonball!
