My name is Sally Floyd. I'm a reporter, a recovering alcoholic, and a mother who lost her daughter. Truth is, nobody cares about any of that. All that matters about me is this -- I'm the woman who interviewed Captain America.

History

Early years

Sally Floyd used to be the writer for a newspaper column called the Mutant Diaries in the Alternative newspapers, a left-wing journal. She was married to Ken Floyd, and had a daughter Minne who turned out to be a mutant. After a few months of life, Minnie started de-aging until she was back to a fetal stage, and subsequently died. With the death of her daughter and being abandoned by her husband, Sally began to rely on alcohol to ease her pain.

Decimation: Ex-Mutant Diaries

After M-Day, she began the writing of the Ex-Mutant Diaries. She had also been ordered to attend Alcoholics Anonymous to treat her alcohol problems.

During those periods, she interviewed several mutants with and/or without powers including: Marrow and the Morlocks, Angel (who faked being depowered), Collider, and the Former Order of Mutants, a group of support for depowered mutants.

As a result of her writings, a killer began sending her pictures of ex-mutants he'd killed and calling her mysteriously, telling her that "not enough mutants" had died. While she briefly considered giving up her column, she was convinced by detectives to continue, in the hope that it would draw him out. Eventually at a meeting with a seemingly depowered Angel (Warren Worthington III), the killer (Ghoul) appeared and attacked her. Angel's depowered status was revealed as a mental illusion by Emma Frost, and several X-Men also revealed their presence, attacking and eventually defeating the Ghoul (seemingly killing him in the process).

Following the battle, Sally told the story of her daughter in the Ex-Mutant Diaries and willingly entered Alcoholics Anonymous.

Civil War

During the Civil War, she worked with fellow reporter Ben Urich to cover the various angles of the conflict. During the conflict, she earned an exclusive interview with Captain America at one of his safehouses. She also interviewed Battlestar and his squad of Secret Avengers. Eventually, with the aid of Ms. Marvel, she and Ben Urich discovered that Tony Stark had orchestrated many of the events of the war, including Norman Osborn's attempted assassination of an Atlantean diplomat.

During the conflict she was introduced to Detective Danny Granville, a New York police detective in the super-human division, who she had begun dating. Toward the end of the Civil War, she quit the Alternative and joined with Ben Urich to create a truly independent newspaper, the Front Line. When the newspaper almost failed, a mysterious benefactor, who was revealed to be J. Jonah Jameson. Jameson bought out the Alternative's office and handed it over to Ben Urich, who renamed it Front Line and became its Editor-In-Chief. Sally Floyd became the lead reporter.

World War Hulk

When Hulk returned to Earth, Sally was one of the few who stayed in Manhattan in order to cover the event. Sally had moved in with Danny Granville, and she had also begun occasionally drinking again when things weren't going well with Front Line. During this time, she also became aware that J. Jonah Jameson was the one who had bought out the Alternative so they could form Front Line, to act as underdog competition to him and boost his circulation, and decided to keep this fact from Ben Urich.

Secret Empire

When Hydra took control of the USA under the leadership of Captain America, who had been secretly replaced with an alternate reality version of himself by a Cosmic Cube, Sally was offered an exclusive interview with the new Supreme Leader. Even though the interview was meant to have no topics off-limit, she was requested not to talk about a bombing ordered by Hydra on Las Vegas. Sally pointedly questioned Hydra's regime, the persecution of super-powered minorities, the erosion of personal liberty, freedom, and equality, and their overall double-sided discourse. When the discussion escalated, Sally blurted out a mention of Las Vegas, leading to her subsequent arrest and imprisonment.

Investigating Professor X

Sally was asked by Ben Urich to investigate Professor X after he destroyed the space frigate Agnew while working for the anti-mutant organization Orchis. During her investigation, Sally discovered that the crewmen aboard the Agnew each shared a name of an author who wrote about Arthurian legends and that they may have been clones. Eventually, Xavier approached her and revealed that he used DNA from dead Orchis agents on Krakoa to create clones and had them assigned to the Agnew using his telepathy before destroying the ship so he could take on the full hatred of the world. Xavier also revealed to Sally that she had discovered the truth four times and each time he erased her memories of her discovery. Overwhelmed from the revelation, Sally asked Xavier to erase her memories again and to give her a new identity. Xavier agreed, and now going by the name "Megan," Sally moved to Fairbanks, Alaska and gave up on alcohol.
