Who is Skids?

Origin Origin Like many mutants, Sally Blevins' mutant powers manifested at a time of great stress. Her father had beaten her mother severely for letting Sally wear pearls and had turned his rage on Sally. It was at this time that she developed her ability to form a force field around herself, which protected her from her father and 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; her mother died right in front of her. As a young runaway, Sally ended up living in the sewers with the Morlocks and calling herself Skids. Her good looks caused her to be treated as an outcast by the other Morlocks . Masque repeatedly tried to change her face, but her powers prevented his powers from taking hold.
