Blindside

Bursting onto the scene in the pages of The Uncanny X-Men #232 in 1988 — a collector-recognized key issue — Blindside is a Copper Age Marvel creation from the legendary partnership of Chris Claremont and Marc Silvestri, sharing those charged pages with heavy-hitters like Storm, Logan, and Scott Summers. Carrying affiliations with both the Brood and the X-Men, this is a character whose very associations speak to the high-stakes, cosmic-edged storytelling that defined Uncanny's most celebrated era. With only three catalog appearances, Blindside is a rare, intriguing figure — exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes hunting through late-'80s X-Men back issues so rewarding.
