Strobe

Strobe is a Marvel mutant who debuted as a member of the Mutant Liberation Front, a terrorist organization opposing human-mutant relations. She has clashed with X-Factor and the New Mutants alongside teammates like Reaper and Forearm.

Bursting onto the scene in 1990's The New Mutants #86 — a landmark Copper Age issue that helped reshape Marvel's mutant landscape — Strobe is one of those intriguing figures who emerged from the gritty, kinetic energy that defined the era. Created by Louise Simonson and Rob Liefeld, this Marvel character has carved out a presence across titles like X-Factor and Cable: Second Genesis, sharing pages with the likes of Reaper, Forearm, and Sam Guthrie over a publishing history that quietly stretches all the way to 2021. With 17 catalog appearances anchored by a key-issue debut, Strobe is a rewarding discovery for collectors who love digging into the rich, sprawling corners of the mutant universe.
