Who is Sally Blevins?

Sally Blevins is a mutant who discovered she could generate a frictionless personal force field capable of deflecting physical and energy attacks. Taking the name Skids, she initially fell in with the underground Morlocks before eventually coming under X-Factor's protection.

Sally Blevins made her Marvel debut in 1986, stepping onto the page in Marvel Age Annual #2 courtesy of Roger Stern and John Buscema β€” a Copper Age introduction that planted her firmly in the fertile, ever-expanding mutant corner of the Marvel Universe. Over nearly four decades she's woven her way through some of the most beloved titles in the X-Men family, appearing across X-Factor, The New Mutants, and X-Men, sharing adventures with heavy hitters like Cyclops, Hank McCoy, Tabitha Smith, and Rusty Collins. With 89 catalogued appearances and eight collector-recognized key issues to her name, she's no footnote β€” she's a genuine piece of the Marvel mutant tapestry that rewards the dedicated reader who digs a little deeper.
