SAM GUTHRIE

History

AU Marvel Verse
Sam Guthrie was born in Cumberland, Kentucky, oldest in a huge family and responsible for his siblings from a very young age. His father died when he was young and, in order to support his family, Sam got a job working in a coal mine. During the job, he was trapped in a collapsing mine shaft and in an effort to save both himself and a fellow miner, he instinctively activated his mutant power. This lead to his discovery by Donald Pierce, and he was recruited as a mercenary by the Hellfire Club.

After an attack on the New Mutants, Sam turned against Pierce and was invited to join the New Mutant team by Charles Xavier. He accepted and left his family to learn how to use his powers, and was made co-captain of the team. During a mission, he saved the life of rockstar Lila Cheney and the two of them dated for a while, until the difference between their lives and the difficulty of getting to see each other ended the relationship.

Upon returning to Earth after a mission to Asgard, Sam and his team encounter Cable and assist him in fighting the Mutant Liberation Front. Soon afterward, the New Mutants left the supervision of the X-Men and joined up with Cable to form X-Force. The team was deemed "out of line" by the X-Men and they were viewed as outright criminals by S.H.I.E.L.D. due to their more aggressive approach to dealing with things. This lead to some serious difficulties with a S.H.I.E.L.D. team led by Nick Fury and supported by War Machine.

Eventually, X-Force was able to repair their relationship with the X-Men and they were invited to stay at the mansion. Sam, leader of the team in Cable's absence, accepted the invitation, mostly out of a desire to be close to his siblings again.

Powers
Sam has the ability to generate thermo-chemical energy and release it from his skin. This energy allows him to propel himself through the air with considerable speed and maneuverability, and he controls his speed and direction through force of will. He can also fire this energy from his body, using it as a weapon. He is also able to generate a "blast shield", a nearly invulnerable force field that protects him from bodily harm. He is able to extend the field to encompass those around him, shape it to create a prison for another person, or absorb outside kinetic energy into his own energy supply, allowing him to to increase the power of his blows or create shock waves upon impact.
