Look, I'm not an expert on what happened during this time, but over the next few years, as the New Mutants roster constantly changed. Mirage, Wolvesbane, Warlock, Sunspot and Cannonball made up the first team, as new members like Boom boom, Thunderbird, Siryn, Magik and even Sprite at one time were added and removed later. Sometime later, Xavier left and Magneto was now left to care for the New Mutants. Then he left, forcing the team to be lead by Cable, and to take the name X-Force. Sam was usualy the second in comand of these teams. Also sometime during this period, Sam suposedly died and came back to life, leaving us to believe he's an External (An immortal mutant).
Finaly, X-Force (Cannonball, Meltdown, Siryn, Sunspot and Thunderbird) left Cable after beating the snot out of him, but then Sam left to become an X-Man. Sams life took a change for the worse at this point. Sam almost let Wolverine get killed, He got tossed around like a rag doll durring "Onslaught" and "Zero Tolerance", Meltdown (Sams girlly pal) started swapping spit with sunspot, and then Marrow started having a thing for him (Don't think I'm shallow, but would YOU date someone with bones coming out of thier skin?), and now his Mother's terminaly ill, forcing him to go back home to take care of her. On the plus side, he beat the living snot outta Gladiator...
Look, Cannonball fans, I kow this doesn't do Sam justice, so if you have any good information I could use, PLEASE TELL ME! I have my E-Mail address somewhere on these pages...
