Blink

Real name: Clarice Ferguson

First appearance: The Uncanny X-men 317.

Died in: X-men 37 and again in X-Men Omega when that timeline ceased to exist.

Favorite quote: "My name is Blink. Who do you think is faster?" (Astonishing X-men 4)

Team affiliation: During the Age of Apocalypse, Blink was with the Astonishing X-Men. Her sacrifice led to the formation of Generation X in the regular X-timeline.

Powers: Blink had the potential to form gateways through dimensions, an ability exploited by the Astonishing X-Men during the AOA series. In this timeline, she was untrained and couldn't do much more than fracture reality.

So, what is Blink up to these days? As those of us who are long-time comic book readers know (and sometimes it irritates the heck out of us), death is not as bad a career move as it might seem for a comic book character. The Bring Back Blink campaign is in full swing. Never one to let something as trivial as a dissolved time-line stop them, Marvel will be doing at least one AOA Blink story.
