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.

Sally's force field protected her from Masque's power, allowing her to maintain her normal appearance, leading to resentment from some Morlocks.

Skids tried to get Rusty to the safety of the underground home of the Morlocks, but Freedom Force caught up with them again, this time in the sewers beneath New York.

The Force member Blob was pounding Rusty into the sewer wall when the mutant hero team X-Factor arrived.

[9] Skids and Rusty learned that Freedom Force were taking mutant infants that were abducted during the demonic invasion into government custody for exploitation.

[12] They escaped the federal prison and defeated Nitro, but thanks to the fight Rusty was brought back into the sights of Freedom Force.

[15] Upon arriving at Avalon, the mutants were taken to "the Savior" (in reality Magneto), who used his powers to undo the brainwashing done to Rusty and Skids.

[16] Shortly after the Age of Apocalypse storyline, a mutant body (Holocaust) was discovered floating in space near Avalon.

While on guard duty watching over the thought-to-be frozen body, Rusty's life force was drained by Holocaust, killing him.

She was contacted by her friends in X-Force who were on a cross-country road trip, but they were all attacked by the villain Reignfire, who was then leading an incarnation of the Mutant Liberation Front.

During the encounter, Skids' force field disrupted the teleportation abilities of MLF member Locus,[19] causing both of them to be caught in a trans-spatial backlash which deposited them in the Balkan country of Latveria.

Skids was defeated in battle by the possessed Bishop, who attached a generator to her which caused her spin rapidly on the surface of her own slippery force field.

[volume & issue needed] Shortly afterwards, X-Men founder Charles Xavier (who also founded the X-Corps initially) had the network disbanded when he decided the world had become too dangerous for mutants in the public sector, and Skids presumably returned to a civilian life.

When Apocalypse offered his empowered blood to them, it was all that the heroes could do to keep Skids and other desperate mutants from accepting the evil substance.

Simultaneously, she is assigned to infiltrate Masque's Morlock rivals, a more pacifistic sect that were nonetheless equally devoted to Qwerty and her book of prophecies.

This sect made the underground sanctuary Lindisfarne their home base, which housed their sacred text of Qwerty's scripture.

She also did nothing to stop Masque and his cohort Bliss when they decided to abduct and torture Leech, her former friend from when they were X-Factor trainees.

Masque wants to initiate a war between humans and remaining mutants via a devastating terrorist attack, and leave his captives' corpses at the scene to further de-legitimize Xavier's vision.

[volume & issue needed] Skids found Magneto at a local cemetery and gave him the book, informing him that she would get into a lot of trouble if her actions were discovered.

Her force field disperses energy assaults, reflects kinetic impact off itself, and negates friction making it impossible to hold on to her.

They did not trust any outsiders, not even the X-Men, now mutant hunting officers of the newly restored human government, when they ventured into Morlock territory, inviting them to come and live with them in the surface world.

Due to the experiments she was put through in the Breeding Pens, Skids' powers have been mastered to such a point that she could shield herself and several others from Storm's lightning bolts.

Hank McCoy helped to deliver Avalon’s first baby, and examining the boy, he found something special in his genetic make-up.

Apparently the son of Sally and Rusty, Sean Collins, was the next step in human evolution – Homo ultima – capable of choosing and altering his mutation at maturity.

The boy was a normal mutant; Magneto had faked the test results, well aware that his Acolytes needed a common enemy to unite against.
