Sally Avril is a fellow student of
Peter Parker's at Midtown High who turned him down for a date, preferring Flash Thompson. Thirty years later, Sally was reintroduced in
Kurt Busiek's series
Untold Tales of Spider-Man. She is revealed to be an ambitious, thrill-loving girl who took blue ribbons in
gymnastics. With fellow popular kid
Jason Ionello, she attempts to cash in on a
Daily Bugle contest offering a thousand dollars to a reader who brought in pictures of
Spider-Man. Although their mission is a bust, Sally loves the thrill and becomes smitten with Spider-Man when he touches her cheek just before leaving her and Jason with a warning to give it up. Sally attempts to get a permanent gig on the
Bugle, but is told that the photographer's job is already taken by Peter Parker. Sally dons an eccentric blue-and-white costume and decides to become a superheroine utilizing her aerobic skills. She asks Peter to take pictures of her doing stunts, but Peter refuses. Angered, she threatens to blackmail him by revealing that he took pictures of Spider-Man, but he undercuts her by telling them himself. Bluebird's zeal but lack of experience causes trouble for Spider-Man during fights with Scarlet Beetle and
Electro. Her "ether egg" weapons detonate prematurely or have little effect, once even allowing the villain to escape. Considering Bluebird more trouble than she is worth, Spider-Man allows
Black Knight's men to hurt her to dissuade her from interfering in his fights again, although he later feels remorse for his actions. Bruised but undaunted, Sally and Jason head to an area where Spider-Man is fighting the Black Knight, with Sally's camera. Sally begs Jason to speed in his car, and the two run a red light. Their car strikes an oncoming bus, with Jason sustaining mild head trauma and Sally being killed. In
Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy, Sally Avril is resurrected by
Ben Reilly posing as
Jackal. ==Powers and abilities==
