Powers and Abilities
Sally Blevins is a mutant that has a semipermeable personal protective deflection field that provides nearly total protection from all attacks except attacks of insufficient force like gas. Her force field disperses energy assaults, reflects kinetic impact off itself, and even negates friction, making it impossible for anyone to hold on to her. Therefore, Skids cannot be grabbed or entangled when using her powers. She also is immune to Masque's powers when her force field is activated, as he cannot touch her. Skids also can move at speeds faster than she can run by "skating" the surface of her force field across the ground.
Originally, Sally was unable to turn off her force field but with practice is able to turn it off and on at will without concentrating. If Skids concentrates, she can extend her force field to protect others in her immediate area at least up to 30 cubic feet (0.85 m3).
