Skids (character)
Skids (Sally Blevins) is a mutant character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Louise Simonson and Jackson Guice, the character debuted in X-Factor #7 (May 1986). Skids has a personal frictionless forcefield which she can project onto herself and other objects.
Skids was initially a ward of X-Factor, progressing to the X-Terminators and New Mutants. She would then join the villainous groups, Mutant Liberation Front and Acolytes, before defecting back to heroics with X-Corporation and S.H.I.E.L.D.
Created by writer Louise Simonson and artist Jackson Guice, Skids first appeared in X-Factor #7 (August 1986), first as one of the sewer-dwelling Morlocks and then as a young ward of X-Factor. She remained as a supporting character through X-Factor #33, but during the events of Inferno, she formed the X-Terminators along with peers Boom-Boom, Rusty Collins, and Rictor, as well as younger mutant children Artie Maddicks, Leech, and Wiz Kid, in X-Terminators #1-4 (1988). After Inferno, Skids (along with the older three X-Terminators) joined the remaining members of the New Mutants in The New Mutants #76, but leaves the title as a regular after joining the Mutant Liberation Front with Rusty in New Mutants #87 (1990). Skids would then leave regular publication but appear semi-regularly as an antagonist to the X-Men and X-Force, originally with the MLF in X-Men (vol. 2) #13-15 (1992) and X-Force #24 (1993), but later with the Acolytes: X-Men (vol. 2) #25 (1993), Cable #10-11 (1994); The Uncanny X-Men #315 (1994), and X-Men (vol. 2) #42-44 (1995). Subsequently, Skids left the Acolytes and appeared infrequently in publication, only in isolated stories: as a college student trying to rebuild her life in X-Force #78-80, 85 (1998–99), as a member of the X-Corporation in X-Treme X-Men #42-46 (2004), as one of The 198 in X-Men (vol. 2) #183-184 (2006), as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent infiltrating the Morlocks in The Uncanny X-Men #487-491 (2007). Skids later appears with S.H.I.E.L.D. in Tales of Suspense #101-104 (2018).
Little has been revealed of Sally Blevins' past. As a teenager, when she was abused by her stepfather, her mother Matilda was fatally injured in the altercation, and her stepfather fled when her mutant power subsequently manifested to protect her. Sally ends up a runaway and comes to live with the Morlocks, a group of homeless mutants. Most Morlocks voluntarily (or, in some cases, involuntarily) assume inhuman appearances at the hands of Masque, a Morlock who can shape the bodies of others. Sally's force field protects her from Masque's power, allowing her to maintain her normal appearance, leading to resentment from some Morlocks. At one point, Skids encounters Rusty Collins while he is being pursued by Freedom Force and a mob of mutant-hating humans. Rusty had accidentally injured a woman with his pyrokinetic powers and was wanted by the United States government. Skids and Rusty escape, but are confronted by Freedom Force at Central Park. The two are saved by the arrival of X-Factor. After a brief skirmish, Freedom Force retreats and Skids and Rusty are left in X-Factor's hands.
Skids and Rusty are one of several trainees under X-Factor's mentorship, with the group eventually forming the X-Terminators. The X-Terminators team up with the New Mutants to help rescue mutant babies from the demon N'astirh, who was using them to help keep open a portal to Limbo. Following the battle, Skids joins the New Mutants, along with Rusty, Rictor, and Boom Boom.
Rusty and Skids are confronted by Freedom Force at the Statue of Liberty. Despite their efforts, the two are captured and the New Mutants are unable to rescue them due to being busy. Rusty and Skids escape prison, but Rusty is injured by Blob and they are recaptured. While recovering in the hospital, Rusty and Skids are contacted by members of the Mutant Liberation Front. With soldiers opening fire on them, they feel they have no other choice than to join them.
Shortly thereafter, Rusty and Skids are brainwashed by Stryfe into following him blindly. Due to this, Rusty and Skids have no qualms with attacking former teammate Cannonball.[volume & issue needed] The two are kidnapped by the Friends of Humanity, but are rescued by X-Force. X-Force is confronted by Exodus, who invites Cannonball and Sunspot to Avalon, a "safe haven" for mutants. Cannonball refuses to go unless all former New Mutants present (Boom Boom, Rictor, Rusty and Skids) were also invited. While Exodus complained that Rusty and Skids are "damaged" due to their brainwashing, he finally acquiesces.
Upon arriving in Avalon, the mutants are taken to Magneto, who undoes the brainwashing done to Rusty and Skids. When X-Force arrive to save their friends, Rusty and Skids decide to stay with Magneto and join his Acolytes, feeling that they owe him.
