I'm confused.

Since when has the cannibal leader been called Red Skull? For years I've been calling him Cannonball Head. I'm pretty sure he signs memos or idols with that name or something.

There's never been a cannonball head as far as I'm aware. You can call Meathook cannonball head as an insult to his baldness. And on the idol things you're thinking of Lemonhead, he's the one who makes the idols that you can steal. Red Skull is thus called because of his red skull mask, lemonhead because of his lemon and I can't remember the other cannibal's name.

The other one is Sharp Tooth (according to the wonderful MI Wiki: http://miwiki.net/Cannibals ).

And yeah, I couldn't quite figure out where you might have encountered the name Cannonball Head, but I think FFM is right about that in that it's a nickname for Meathook.

Yeah, it's one of a string of insults referring to Meathook's baldhead, another example is Chromedome. I don't know why that would've stuck in your head though :P
