Melody Guthrie, who is known as "Aero," is the younger sister of Sam Guthrie, the mutant superhero known as "Cannonball," who has been a member of the New Mutants and the X-Men, among other teams. Melody's older sister Paige (codenamed "Husk") was a member of the mutant team of students known as "Generation X."

...Seeing as how the Guthries are from my hometown http://www.marveldatabase.com/wiki/index.php/Cannonball_(Sam_Guthrie) (Cumberland is less than five miles from where I grew up), it is right and true that they are protrayed as a Baptist familiy. Baptists are what people in my reigion understand - from their theology to their day-to-day practices.

I was thinking of Nightcrawler... Rahne Sinclair (Wolfsbane) was raised Calvinist... The Guthries (Sam, etc.) are Baptists...
