Sally Blevins is a mutant with the power to create a protective, frictionless force-field around herself and others. She was formerly a member of the Morlocks, but whilst pursued by Freedom Force she was saved by the original X-Factor team and became one of their trainees.

Skids (original look)There she met and became friends with Rusty Collins, and together the pair became members of the X-Terminators, a group of young mutant trainees, and together they fought against N'astirh during the attempted demonic invasion of New York City known as the Inferno.

When Blevins learned that Freedom Force planned to turn over abducted mutant children to the federal government for exploitation, she and Collins tried to stop them but were captured instead. Blevins was freed from her prison cell by Collins to help him stop the criminals known as Vulture and Nitro. She was able to defeat Nitro, but was injured and recaptured by Freedom Force. Blevins and Collins were set free by the Mutant Liberation Front and soon thereafter they voluntarily joined the group.

Blevins had been a member of the Mutant Liberation Front for a short time when she and Rusty Collins were kidnapped by the Acolytes and taken to the orbiting space-station Avalon. During a battle with the mutant Holocaust, Rusty Collins was killed and Blevins was injured. She was taken to the X-Men's mansion for medical attention, and afterwards left the mansion without being noticed.

It was later revealed that Sally had given up the superhero life, and was studying bio-science at college. However, this didn`t stop Sally reluctantly aiding X-Force against the threat of Reignfire. Captured by Reignfire, the heroes were rescued by Warpath. In the ensuing battle, Skids clashed with Reignfire's ally Locus and disrupted the former M.L.F. members' teleportation ability, causing them to be caught in a trans-spatial backlash which deposited them in Latveria.

There the pair were captured by an ages-old sorceress named Pandemonia, the self-styled Queen of Chaos, who sought to recruit mutants into her own personal army. With the assistance of the young sorceress Jennifer Kale, X-Force managed to defeat Pandemonia.

Later, Sally joined the Los Angeles branch of the X-Corp, and assisted the X-Treme X-Men in battle with Elias Bogan.

Sally was one of the tent-dwelling mutants at Xavier's Institute, with Magma and Outlaw as her tentmates. However, when Apocalypse came, she chose to serve him. She thought he was great.

I always really liked Skids.

It's too bad we haven't (too the best of my knowledge) seen her in awhile.

In the proposal for the 3rd New Warriors series, they had plans for her, and they looked great. Does anyone know whatever happened to that? Skids has always been one of my favorite X people.

I don't think Skids ever actually joined the Acolytes.

Rusty did, though Skids never took part in any ceremonies, terrorist acts etc that the other Acolytes performed.

IMO she came aboard Avalon to be with Rusty, I'd count them as allies though.

Sure they were Acolytes. She was present at the trial of Neophyte, stood against Jean and the X-Men in Fatal Attractions, was present in the three-way war against Cable and Omega Red, etc.

Weren't they brainwashed, and joined the Acolytes because they were thankful for Magneto undoing the brainwashing? She broke Tabita's jaw during the X-Cutioner's Song, not something I'd expect from a sane not-controlled Sally:p

Both. They joined voluntarily, and then were brainwashed behind the scenes at some point to insure loyalty.

i think for those who don't know skids her force field wasn't like most mutans she could eat wither her force field on and was able to slide and glide on the floor because her force field was frictionless. and for awhile she wasn't able to turn of her force field because of a psychological probleme.

Why was she a member of the Morlocks for.
I mean she doesnt look that bad.
Well except for the clothing style.
She looks a lot like Static(? Alliance of Evil member?) in that Picture.

If my memory serves, she was a runaway, and had no place else to turn

Masque was unable to penetrate her forcefield, so he couldn't disfigure her face.

Freedom Force wasn't chasing her; they had no interest in her. They were chasing Rusty, and she decided to intervene.

After Blob severely injured Rusty, she wanted to go back with him to X-Factor HQ, and that's when her association with them started.

The government already had the kids, and Freedom Force just knew about it. After Blob (I'm sensing a trend here) let this slip, Skids jumped to the weird conclusion that FF personally had the kids, like in their basement or something :p She and Rusty decided to tell the press about this, and Mystique realized that they couldn't be allowed to do that, to protect the government's interests. So Rusty and Skids were arrested---mind you, there already was a warrant for Rusty's arrest at the time. I think Skids was arrested on the grounds of obstructing justice, by preventing them from getting Rusty (by surrounding him with her forcefield).
