Cannonball possesses the ability to bodily generate thermo-chemical energy and release it from his skin.

He can control his speed and direction through sheer act of will. At first he could only release this energy from his feet and legs, but now he can fire it from almost any part of his body, to a wide variety of affects. This energy also manifests itself as an impenetrable and virtually indestructible “blast field”. He can use this blast-field to: function as a personal shield or extending it to encompass others, shape the field around another person to imprison them, or absorb outside kinetic impact into his own energy supply, and then re-channel it to increase the bludgeoning power of his blows or create explosive shock waves upon impact. For example, in the final episodes of 90's X-men Cartoon series, Cannonball flew head on to stop a freight train and derailed it without effort.His power levels have varied over the years - but at his peak, he has been able to defeat the Shi'ar Imperial Guard leader, Gladiator, and devastate several city blocks by plummeting to the ground from high altitude. It has been theorized that Cannonball may be one of the Externals, and therefore immortal (although evidence for this is somewhat questionable).

Label me a fanboy all you want (and I really like Cannonball, too), but he's not getting past Spider-Man. Only for the simple fact that, even as fast as he goes, he won't be able to hit Spidey. His precog will play a crucial role here.
I see #4 being a stalemate really.
If by some crazy, insane logic, Cannonball beats Spider-Man (won't happen), Colossus thrashes him.

Usually I would agree with you on this 😬
However, I can't see Colossus catching Cannonball
And even if he did doesn't Cannonball have that forcefield? 😕

He doesn't need to. Cannonball will charge into him (seeing as it's pretty much his only attack) and Colossus will wreck him that way. He's deflected Sam before, and this was back in the day when he was still class 70. He can easily do it again.

Spider-sense will alert him of impending danger. Spidey moves out of the way and continues to avoid the blast-field.
Really. Spidey's been able to avoid more powerful things before.
