Biography
Sally Blevins
Just like many other mutants, Sally Blevins first manifested her powers during puberty at a time of great stress; in her case it was when she had to protect herself from her abusive father, Bill. After Bill Blevins had violently attacked Sally’s mother, Matilda, for letting Sally wear some pearls, which he thought was not appropriate, he then turned his rage to his daughter. However, after his first punch, both Sally and her father were surprised to find that he could not touch her, his fists just bounced right off. That, and seeing her mother badly injured gave a young Sally the strength she needed to frighten her narrow-minded father away. When Sally tried to help her mother get to a doctor, though, she found that she could not. Because of her powers, Sally's mother kept slipping out of her grip. Matilda died in front of Sally, leaving her all by herself. (X-Factor v1 #16)
Sally went to live with the underground dwellers known as the Morlocks, a society of mutants deemed too grotesque or deformed to pass as human so they had decided to live in the safety of the sewers. Even though Sally could easily pass as a human, she felt not entirely human, as she could not hold anything. Over the next few years, Sally grew into a beautiful young woman, and began to call herself “Skids.” Her good looks made her an outcast among the Morlocks, who, in defiance of the human society that had rejected them, were proud to have their faces changed into ugly ones by Masque. Sally’s force field keeping Masque from making actual skin to skin contact, his attempts to alter her appearance were not permanent and her face always reverted back within a few seconds.
