Who is Blink?

Clarice Ferguson is a mutant first introduced during the 'Phalanx Covenant' storyline, where she was among the young mutants captured by the techno-organic Phalanx. Possessing teleportation abilities, she was eventually connected to the Generation X team in her earliest appearances.

Few characters have made such a striking leap from a brief ashcan debut to a beloved Marvel mainstay as Blink, who first flickered onto the scene in 1994 and has been lighting up pages ever since. Born in the Copper/Modern Age, she's racked up 75 catalog appearances across more than three decades β€” including three key collector issues β€” a testament to how deeply she's captured readers' imaginations. She's most at home in the dimension-hopping pages of Exiles, where she shares adventures with wild company like Morph, Sabretooth, and Wolverine, the kind of roster that signals this is comics operating at full, gloriously chaotic throttle. If you're looking for a Modern Age Marvel character with real staying power and a passionate fanbase, Blink is absolutely worth your time.
