Abstract: The classical Mahowald invariant is a method for producing nonzero classes in the stable homotopy groups of spheres from classes in lower stems. We study the Mahowald invariant in the setting of motivic stable homotopy theory over Spec(mathbbC). We compute a motivic version of the C2-Tate construction for various motivic spectra, and show that this construction produces "blueshift" in these cases. We use these computations to show that the Mahowald invariant of etai, igeq1, is the first element in Adams filtration i of the w1-periodic families constructed by Andrews ~cite{And14}. This provides an exotic periodic analog of Mahowald and Ravenel's computation ~cite{MR93} that the classical Mahowald invariant of 2i, igeq1, is the first element in Adams filtration i of the v1-periodic families constructed by Adams ~cite{Ada66}.
