Don't blink...
BlinkOr you might miss her ( Courtesy of Marvel Directory) Real name: Clarice Ferguson Occupation: Adventurer Identity: Secret Legal status: Citizen of the United States with no criminal record Place of birth: Unknown Group affiliation: Generation X Base of operations: Mobile First appearance: UNCANNY X-MEN #317 History: Little is known about Clarice Ferguson before her abduction by the technocratic aliens called the Phalanx, except that she awoke in a pool of blood when her powers manifested and swore never again to use her abilities against a living being. When the Phalanx entity known as Harvest arrived to torment Clarice and her fellow captive mutants, she employed her powers to precisely remove a chunk of deck under her friends, causing them to fall into the water below and saving their lives. She then displaced the entire battleship on which they were being held captive, including Harvest and herself. It is presumed Clarice died during this act. Height: 5 ft. 5 in. Weight: 110 lbs. Eyes: Shining white, no visible pupils Hair: Pinkish purple Strength Level: Unknown Known superhuman powers: Blink possesses the ability to generate teleportation warps, allowing her to displace people and objects. Her effective range is to the moon and back. Also, Blink can manifest the energy for her portals in the form of short javelins, which cause their targets to teleport. She uses this power offensively and defensively.
I acquired her arc and have been a fan since. Something about the strong (under-dressed) heroine's that always seem to lure me into fandom.

It's pretty much safe to assume if you see Chase's name as the creator of a Hero of the Day, chances are, the Hero will have a vagina.

She's in X-Men Legends 2. And that's all I have to say about that.

She was also a member of an X-Men team in the Age of Apocolypse story. That, and the XMLII thing is all I really know about her.

A thread about Blink and nothing covering the Blink that grew up in the Age of Apocalypse... had her own mini... and has lead the Exiles pretty much since #1?
For shame!

I liked her in the AOA. Of course, I'm a fan of most AOA stuff.

Their currently going to visit lots of the old universes like the New Universe and 2099. Tony Bedard is an awesome writer.

Exiles is the best mutant book being published today (since Astonishing is on hiatus, natch). That bio just doesn't do her justice.
Here's a bio on the Blink we AOA/Exiles fans have come to know and love:
In the Age of Apocalypse storyline, Professor X was killed years before he ever formed the X-Men. An alternate reality unfolded into which the 2,000-year old super mutant Apocalypse gained control of North America and implemented a mass murder campaign against regular humans.
Clarise Ferguson was born in Cartusia, Bahamas. Her purple skin complexion revealed her to be a mutant at birth. Her parents accepted this fact but feared their daughter would not be accepted by the local population. When Clarice was four, the Fergusons moved to Miami, Florida, United States. They hoped Miami would be home to a mutant population where an older Clarice would be able to socialize.
Clarice was a child when Apocalypse took over Miami. Blink was discovered by one of Apocalypse's scientists, Dark Beast, who experimented on her, refining her powers (thus explaining the differences in the abilities of the regular Marvel Universe Blink and her Age of Apocalypse counterpart).
However, Sabretooth and Weapon X, of the resistance force, the X-Men, raided Beast's laboratories and rescued Blink. She then became the adopted daughter of Sabretooth (This relationship may explain why the Age of Apocalypse version of Sabretooth is much less villainous than the regular Marvel Universe version).
Blink grew into adulthood with the X-Men. She was impulsive and not always willing to follow orders, but became an important X-Man.
Eventually, the X-Men encountered the time traveling X-Man Bishop, who set a course of events that prevented the death of Professor X, eliminating the Age of Apocalypse reality.
Before it ended, however, Blink was mysteriously transported to a strange desert plateau, where she met a group of other mutants from various realities who had been unstuck in time. A cosmic monitor called the Timebroker explained that each had become "unstuck" in reality and their new mission was to visit various parallel worlds and "correct wrongs."
Blink became the leader of this group of Exiles and has formed a relationship with her teammate Mimic. They went to many worlds, fighting the Hulk, Galactus, Weapon X, Mojo, and the Vi-Locks. On the world where the Legacy Virus was taking over, Blink was infected by it. She was later cured, however. They were celebrating when the Timebroker appeared, saying that Blink was going home. She was replaced by Magik. When Sunfire was killed, Blink came back. In that reality, they fought Hyperion and Weapon X. While fighting Hyperion, Blink teleported Hyperion's laser attack back at him. Then, Gambit blew himself and Hyperion up, thus completing the mission. (credit: wikipedia)

Bought another one Sunday but won't get to read it for a while.
