Well, for starters cannonball is completely invulnerable except to magic. Second thing Cannonball can absorb kinetic energy and amp his abilities.
Third thing, Cannonball could just nuke the entire area koing everyone.
4th thing, Cannonball latest showing was him stalemating fury and absorbing a punch from gladiator that was going to send him hurling to the center of the sun.

Only when his blasting and he needs to concentrate to pull that K - Absorb feat.. There is just too many player in the field and it would be too difficult to read where an attack is coming from +++ this opponent isn't on Glads level strength, any K-energy he absorbs wouldn't be that much..
Almost all the combatants could do this ++++ theres, omni-directional-shields...
low showing for fury and Glads was playing..
So no his not soloing..
I've read to one issue of that crossover, didn't show much in there..
Devil's reighn his got awesome showing but then again he was amp by Mephisto..
He didnt even know he had the power to absorb kinetic energy and its part of his forcefield which surrounds his entire body so its pretty much safe to say that he can absorb from all directions. Hell, he did it while his eyes was closed.
Why was it a low showing for fury? Cannonball is completely indestructible and fury had no way of hurting him. Cannonball was absorbing everything that fury threw and at him and gave it back. Its nothing low showing about that.
I agree, Glads was toying with him but you have to think about it like this, that was an inexperienced Cannonball, current cannonball has mastered that absorbing and all of his other powers (even though I still think Glads could beat him since his powers is based off of his confidence).
He might not solo but by himself he could take a lot of them down.

Perhaps in the future he would have that kind of control, but right now nope, that is why he needed to concentrate where the point of impact is for him to absorb the energies release..
Fury as in the one that fought MJ..
Ill finished this later as its too late and have to be working early..
Wasnt Rachel their and didnt she possess the phoenix force during the time she aided at fighting the fury (even though I agree that Fury was weakened).

Are there any other instances where he used similar technique (K-Absorb)? Cause using it once is far from mastering such skill ++++++ Even if he mastered such skill he still needs to know where the attack is coming from for him to channel that energies unlike say Shaw or Strong Guy where its auto-absorb.. Another thing, aside Cyclops the other blaster uses not concussive blast, absorbing kinetic from those projection would prove challenging.

So CB gets blown out of the sky or gets his thermo-chemical energy absorbs by other combatants if he tries to solo the field..
