| Eldest son of the sprawling Guthrie clan, Sam Guthrie left Kentucky to attend Xavier's as a high school student when he manifested his powers of thermokinetic propulsion during a mine cave-in. He remained at the school for many years, despite sometimes feeling guilty about 'abandoning' his widowed mother to raise his siblings alone. However, his role as an X-Man was just as important to him. When his sister Paige and brother Jay eventually came to the school as their own mutations surfaced, Sam found the family reunion was a bit more difficult than he'd anticipated. Jay's transformation into a killing machine in particular hit home, and when Jay went to Muir Island for therapy, Sam joined him, to help him through.
