History

Blink was first introduced in the "Phalanx Covenant" storyline, in which the extraterrestrial-derived technoorganic beings called the Phalanx captured her and several other young mutants to assimilate their powers. This version of Blink was tense and panicky and frightened of her powers (having "woken up in a pool of blood" after her first use of them). Clarice could not properly control her powers, and apparently was unable to teleport anything in an intact form. Instead, any object or person caught in Blink's teleportation field, also known as a "blink wave", would be shredded. She eventually used her abilities to "cut-up" Harvest, a Phalanx entity guarding her and her peers, but apparently was caught in her own teleportation field and died in the process. Because of her sacrifice, the remaining captives were set free and became the X-Men junior team Generation X.

Recently, Blink was seen in the company of Selene. Her apparent death seems to have been retconned. Instead of accidentally killing herself she transported herself to a different location and her mutant power allowed her to arrive intact. Harvester seems to have been unaffected by this and did not survive.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Blink possessed the ability to generate teleportation warps, allowing her to displace people and objects. Her effective range was to the moon and back. Also, Blink could manifest the energy for her portals in the form of short javelins, which caused their targets to teleport. She used this power offensively and defensively.

Strength level

Blink possesses the normal human strength of a woman of her age, height, and build who engages in moderate regular exercise.

Trivia

  • Blink was so popular that she was later given a major role in the Age of Apocalypse storyline. This new Blink (now leader of the Exiles) was written as a confident strong and determined mutant, the opposite of her 616-counterpart.
