Sally Blevins

Morlocks (Former Member)

## Background

### **1987 - 2001: Sally Blevins**

Sarah "Sally" Blevins is the only daughter of William "Bill" & Matilda Blevins. Her father was a scary man but to the public, he was a good husband & father. He regularly beat her mother but never laid a hand on Sally.

One night, Sally wanted to play dress up so her mother let her put on her pearl necklace to complete her outfit. When her father arrived home & saw Sally with the pearls he bought, he went ballistic. He attacked her mother, severely beating her before turning his rage on Sally. Like many mutants, Sally's mutant powers manifested at a time of great stress. She developed her ability to form a force field around herself, which protected her from her father & allowed her to scare him off. Unfortunately, it also prevented her from saving her mother. Whenever Sally tried to pick her up, she just slipped from her arms. Before she died Sally's mother told her to run away, so that her father could never hurt her again.

### **2001 - 2004: Skids**

Sally ended up living on the streets before moving under them when she joined the Morlocks, a group of homeless mutants. It was normal for Morlocks to have their faces hideously altered by Masque in defiance of human norms, however Skids' force field made that alteration impossible in her case. Her beauty marked her as an outsider among outsiders.

Sally eventually met Rusty Collins, who was wanted by the U.S. Government after he accidentally injured a woman with his pyrokinetic powers. They soon developed a crush on each other, as they both believed that they could never get close to anyone due to their powers. He eventually asked her to join him to train under X-Factor alongside Boom-Boom & Rictor. Her departure from the tunnels could not have come at a better time, since the horrible event known as the Mutant Massacre occurred shortly after. After a training session went poorly, Skids ran to go back to the Morlocks. But Masque was hellbent on revenge for Sally leaving them in the first place. After being assaulted by Masque, she returned with Rusty.

After a particular mission with X-Factor, Sally & the other teens found themselves in the role of celebrities. The government eventually ordered X-Factor to register but Rusty declined, stating that he would not run anymore & turned himself into the Portsmouth Naval Prison. After seeing Rusty off, Skids, Boom-Boom & Rictor were enrolled at the Phillips Academy in Exeter, New Hampshire. After a cold reception from the other students, they learned that that some of their former teammates had been kidnapped by demons. The group broke Rusty out of his prison then began their search. Battling the hordes of demons, the group eventually met up with the New Mutants.

Due to their actions, Sally & the others were expelled from Phillips Academy. Due to his part in stopping the demonic invasion, Rusty was released into X-Men's custody until his trial. With nowhere else to go, the group enrolled at the Xavier Institute. Thee X-Factor merged with them to become part of the New Mutants.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Mutant Physiology**
	+ ***Frictionless Force-Field***: Sally has a personal protective field that provides near total protection from attacks. Her force field has unique frictionless properties that make it impossible for anyone to hold on to her. Therefore, Skids cannot be grabbed or entangled a&d can move at moderate speeds by "skating" on her force field across the ground. The energy field disperses kinetic energy from impacts, such as great falls, as well as from energy projections, like beam weapons. If Skids concentrates, she can extend her force field to protect others in her immediate area.
