Blink from Age of Apocalypse actual became one of my favorite X-Men when she joined and the Exiles, I believe that was one of the greatest series and I wish Marvel would bring them back.
Oh, I remember this quite vividly: The world wept when 13/14-year-old Clarice Ferguson (then, my same age) died in the Phalanx Covenant, saving her newfound friends. She was an immediately compelling character. (I was mad.) Then, the world rejoiced when, lo, she was hurling through a portal-and *blinked*, closing the portal on that gloating acolyte of Apocalypse!
What would be cool for an ability evolution-- if she could teleport not her entire physical form, but a large potion of her mind to the teleportation location. She'd be like a ghost, untouchable and unnoticeable. Awesome mutant espionage.
There I was thinking this video would almost exclusively talk about AoA Blink, who had a lot of extra depth and characterisation. Also her powers were revised extensively and to great effect. I thought 616 Clarice was simply a throwaway character they used as a plot device in Phalanx Covenant, no idea they actually brought her back properly. I assume that was the Necrosha storyline that featured Selene?
After Phalanx she reappeared in XMen Alpha in the Age of Apocalypse series. She was also a part of the Runaway comic series as the traveled through different versions of Earths.
Blink in this video is the mainstream Blink, however during the Age of Apocalypse, there is another Blink who has grown up in a dystopian alternate reality, similar to Rachel Grey. The alternative version of blink is the one with long hair, the green costume and the crystal javelins that she uses to open portals. She has full control of her abilities as opposed to the mainstream Blink. She had her own miniseries and was the team leader in the comic series Exiles. Hope this helps :)
Blink had a 4 issue miniseries sometime in the year 2000, it was a prequel to her appearances in AoA and if I recall right Scott Lobdell and Karl Moline were the creative team. Used to have the first issue but it unfortunately got wrecked on me. That series is collected I believe in AoA Dawn
I would like a video about characters that are more relevant for the Age of Apocalypse story line than their counter parts in the mainstream Marvel Universe, like Blink, Morph and Lila Chenney.
Believing you don't deserve what is best for you? Damn, I've been there - and am usually so upbeat I even infect myself with it so that was pretty weird.
Blink is amazing same as Songbird since we're talking female heroes but I mean there's so many great overall all c, d, ..... z listers that I've always loved and wish had more to them
Thanks Blink has Always been my favorite 💖💖💖!!! You should tell the rest of her story she is a power house & really hard to kill. But understand why you didn't it's alot to go into the different all the alternate reality 😄😄😄
Faust, Blink had a mini series, but it was with the Age Of Apocolypse version, and that was a lead in to Exiles. I also know that she is a favorite of some fanfic writers, myself included. I have her in two fanfic series based off Generation X. Feel free to drop me a line if you focus on any more Generation X linked characters.
Awesome video. Im starting to get into Blink and this video does help provide a some guiding points on her history. One thing I noticed you said she really hasnt justified her getting a solo title, but she already has had one written by Scott Lobdell and was 4 issues long. Not sure if you knew this already or not.
Faust if you ever get the chance could you do some history on Sam Wilson (The Falcon) Im just curious about him since the whole rumor mill about him going to be the new captain america
huh I really should keep a better eye on the news still my point stands Im curious about the Falcon and would like it if Faust did a history on the character
Well I just got through reading an X-men age of apocalypse comic book. The series featured magneto working with the X-men, and blink was actually alone in the story. In the short amount of time with blink you can really get to know blinks character personally and the uniqueness of her miniadventures away from the x-men and brotherhood. I think this version of blink while very sexy and witty can gain the readers attention, making the reader always wanting to see what blink would do next.
+ItsSuperEffective I would like for you to make a video about Polaris (Lorna Dane) since I find her a very interesting character and at least for me, it seems like she's a little underrated in the comics since she doesn't appear often in the comics if you compare her with the rest of the X-Men, she's gained a little more popularity due to the FOX/Marvel TV series: The Gifted since she's like the core character of the show but in the comics universe, it would be amazing to explore her story and you really seem to know a lot about comics, especially the ones from Marvel. I really like your channel and your videos, keep up the good work
thanks for the video, I was away from comics for several years and I did not know that the original blink came back. that is exciting, id like a list of the story lines you talked about if you can. personally I love the age of apocalypse blink who came over to the regular reality after the storyline was finished and then was chosen to be in Exiles. she made an amazing leader. a few questions as you are most likely more knowledgeable then I am at the moment. have the two blinks ever met each other, which one do you think is more powerful, or are they the same? and is there talk of her getting her own series, that would be outstanding. thanks for your time :)
Not sure if you have done a video on Magick or any of the original "new mutants" but would love to see you touch base on some of them. Karma, Magma are just afew others that would be fun to hear about more. The whole of the team. There are some fun facts about them as well, like Magneto was the leader. Emma had her own school the hellions, who they fought. As well as the death of a team member while they were on a mission. The death of Cypher was such a big deal at the time. He was the first in marvel, I think, to die in such away and stay dead for so long it had long lasting effects to the team as a whole.
Im sorry to say but, Yes, Emma Frost had a Estate/School, its where her original team the Hellions Trained/Studied. As well its the location where when she became a Teacher for Gen X she opened the doors for them to join her there. The School was somewhat part of but not on the grounds of the Xavier's School. Emma even goes to as far as to say to Banshee, "I have not had Students on the grounds in a very long time." If you want to know more about Emma's First students, the ones that {Soiler} all get killed and its her fault. Read some of the New Mutants. If you want to know more about her own issues and leading a new team of Kids. Generation X is a good place to start.
and since everyone else requests things of you I will do the same ;) spider women history. and not the brunette. im talking about the cool one. Julia Carpenter. I think if you read up on her you will see she was a totally under rated character with potential wasted by marvel. oh and sersi. (I miss her so much, the most perfect eternal.)
First The video was awesome!! the only thing i would add is i swore blink had a little bit more history though? i thought sabertooth saved her from some hunters and stuff and they was kinda close cause of that?
nightcrawler opens a portal to another dimension (demon dimension) and goes through that dimension very fast and appears in a new location back in his dimension. and if he ever goes through that dimension slower then the demons have a chance to catch him and eat him.
it has also been said in a game that Nightcrawler needs to see the place where he wants to teleport or else the teleportation might go wrong, while Blink can teleport as far as the moon without necessarily looking at the place. But it was only in X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse, so i don't know if it is correct for the comics.
Hi! Can you please lead me to those issues where blink was saved by selene and the battle that came after that, Please. Im tracking down all blinks stories and it would be truly helpful you could guide me through it. Thank you!
her teleportation javelins are a manifestation of her teleportation powers, kind of like boom boom, who can make bombs of energy that explode. blink can make teleportation javelins that when thrown can teleport what it touches away, or can cause them to go out of phase with reality and knock them out. she doesn't need them to teleport tho, also I am not sure if other people can touch them without being teleported away. :)
You are forgetting Blink from the Exile series, this Blink is from the Age of Apocalypse Universe where she had full control of her powers and was trained to fight by her universe's Sabertooth who becomes a father figure to her. Plus she was the Leader of the Exiles! So in a while 616 Blink hasn't done a lot but 295 Blink has!
But the Exiles were an multi-universal team not only was each member from a different universe but they went universe to universe. They even had mainstream people like Psylocke and Sage on the team.
ItsSuperEffective well technically she did go from 616 into the exiles. but blink was only in 616 for a short time, four characters made it out of AoA before it collapsed. blink being one of them. and before that she came from Age of Apocalypse. (universe 295)
Effective, I really want to start reading teen titans and or young justice, but every time I try to find volume 1 for one of them they both have like 8 different volume 1's can you please start me off on which come to read for both of them first, because i'm lost D: ItsSuperEffective
Can you please do Nightcrawler? His origin is very deep and dark and I would love to know it better. Not to mention everyone wants to know who his family is and etc. plus I think and this is my opinion it would be a fairly easy one. And one that we would all enjoy.
Blink from Age of Apocalypse actual became one of my favorite X-Men when she joined and the Exiles, I believe that was one of the greatest series and I wish Marvel would bring them back.
dlbronx718 it’s being brought back, with a Chibi-Wolverine and Iron Lad, among others
dlbronx718 I'd have to agree... They should've given that series more of a chance to begin with...
dlbronx718 blink got stabbed in the back two times
Oh, I remember this quite vividly: The world wept when 13/14-year-old Clarice Ferguson (then, my same age) died in the Phalanx Covenant, saving her newfound friends. She was an immediately compelling character. (I was mad.)
Then, the world rejoiced when, lo, she was hurling through a portal-and *blinked*, closing the portal on that gloating acolyte of Apocalypse!

Astral projection
Y'all should check out the Gifted if you love blink🙏🏻
Her character is in The gifted on Fox.
LenzoMcKenzo she was in X men days of future past too
sanguis M yep, though for some odd reason, someone kept insisting that was Pixie...
Pixie has wings, although the pink strands in blinks hair might’ve given them that idea
That struck a cord when you were talking about the negativity part. I know what it is like and I cannot shake it away.
There I was thinking this video would almost exclusively talk about AoA Blink, who had a lot of extra depth and characterisation. Also her powers were revised extensively and to great effect. I thought 616 Clarice was simply a throwaway character they used as a plot device in Phalanx Covenant, no idea they actually brought her back properly.

After Phalanx she reappeared in XMen Alpha in the Age of Apocalypse series. She was also a part of the Runaway comic series as the traveled through different versions of Earths.
Shes also in x men days of future past
No she's not, days of future past happend way before she was introduced
Will DeShazo he is talking about the movie
Psylocke??
OMG!Thank you so much for doing this video! I've been waiting ever since I commented on your video a few weeks ago :)! Your so awesome!
Blink in this video is the mainstream Blink, however during the Age of Apocalypse, there is another Blink who has grown up in a dystopian alternate reality, similar to Rachel Grey. The alternative version of blink is the one with long hair, the green costume and the crystal javelins that she uses to open portals. She has full control of her abilities as opposed to the mainstream Blink. She had her own miniseries and was the team leader in the comic series Exiles. Hope this helps :)
I love Blink! I remember seeing her in, "Age of Apocalypse" as a kid LOL I instantly fell in love with Blink :)
i thought blink uses portals to teleport?
she does
@@luvshakra kinda
Not just a portal but a sharp shard that can be use to teleport easily and quickly
What about the Age Of Apocalypse or Exiles? Blink was in those. Also Blink did have a short series back in the 90s didn't she?
AoA Blink has been around a long time. I love her.
PSYLOCK! this is like confusing the wasp and the pixie!
She have the ability to form shard too that could also use for her teleportation
Blink had a 4 issue miniseries sometime in the year 2000, it was a prequel to her appearances in AoA and if I recall right Scott Lobdell and Karl Moline were the creative team. Used to have the first issue but it unfortunately got wrecked on me. That series is collected I believe in AoA Dawn
I didn't even know who this character was, but it sounds like she's amazing and a very deep character.
So which was the Blink that was Sabertooth’s adoptive daughter? She was my favorite one.
I would like a video about characters that are more relevant for the Age of Apocalypse story line than their counter parts in the mainstream Marvel Universe, like Blink, Morph and Lila Chenney.
Can you do a History of Emma Frost
Please read the FAQ on my channels about page.
Believing you don't deserve what is best for you? Damn, I've been there - and am usually so upbeat I even infect myself with it so that was pretty weird.
One of my favorite underutilized X-Men characters, along with Polaris of course.
I’ve always wanted aBlink and Psylocke series
Awesome video!! Keep up the awesome work!!
I love these history of super hero/ villains :)
Blink is amazing same as Songbird since we're talking female heroes but I mean there's so many great overall all c, d, ..... z listers that I've always loved and wish had more to them
Thanks Blink has Always been my favorite 💖💖💖!!! You should tell the rest of her story she is a power house & really hard to kill. But understand why you didn't it's alot to go into the different all the alternate reality 😄😄😄
Great video, I really enjoy when you cover smaller characters. I was wondering what you think of Deathlok, as he's getting a new series.
so blink was in a quantum of uncertainty nice
Thanks so much for making the vid I asked for!!!
I'm binge watching all of the old videos.
Faust, Blink had a mini series, but it was with the Age Of Apocolypse version, and that was a lead in to Exiles. I also know that she is a favorite of some fanfic writers, myself included. I have her in two fanfic series based off Generation X. Feel free to drop me a line if you focus on any more Generation X linked characters.
I only cover the 616 universe when it comes to marvel, that was in earth 295. A good story, but not relevant to this video in the slightest.
ItsSuperEffective Fair enough, fair enough. It was a very informative episode, and I did enjoy the information you provided about Blink.
What are the issues for blink after she's pulled out of the other dimension, it sounds very interesting to read.
the art in this episode was so fucken amazing
You should read the Apocalypse versus Dracula mini series. it has the clan that you mentioned and a member of that clan with the same power as Blink.
I love learning about obscure characters from this show c:
Awesome video. Im starting to get into Blink and this video does help provide a some guiding points on her history. One thing I noticed you said she really hasnt justified her getting a solo title, but she already has had one written by Scott Lobdell and was 4 issues long. Not sure if you knew this already or not.
bro that was awesome. thanks for this upload.
Faust if you ever get the chance could you do some history on Sam Wilson (The Falcon) Im just curious about him since the whole rumor mill about him going to be the new captain america
huh I really should keep a better eye on the news still my point stands Im curious about the Falcon and would like it if Faust did a history on the character
I loved Blink in the Exiles, is that the same one or is it an alternate reality Blink?
Alternative reality, that is set in earth 295, the blink I am talking about here is in Earth 616, the main continuity.
This video might be quite informative, but I'm too distracted by that hair to properly pay attention.
Well I just got through reading an X-men age of apocalypse comic book. The series featured magneto working with the X-men, and blink was actually alone in the story. In the short amount of time with blink you can really get to know blinks character personally and the uniqueness of her miniadventures away from the x-men and brotherhood. I think this version of blink while very sexy and witty can gain the readers attention, making the reader always wanting to see what blink would do next.
Been a while since i watched one of these. Awesome stuff as always! Btw, have you ever watched "The Little Prince and the Eight-headed Dragon"?
Rad! Excellent work dude! Keep it up.

Emma frost didn't have a school but she had a team of students in a school

what about the Age of Apocalypse blink
history of the first class Xmen! ( and by that i mean Cyclops,Angel,Jean Grey,Iceman and Beast)
Those are almost literally all A-Lists and he doesn't do those before their patreon goal is achieved.
A lot of hand-speaking haha
Did the name make anyone think of DW? I loved that episode!
history of roy harper please
have you done a Chamber episode?
First The video was awesome!! the only thing i would add is i swore blink had a little bit more history though? i thought sabertooth saved her from some hunters and stuff and they was kinda close cause of that?
My bad I meant your thoughts on Grayson the comic I want to pick it up but I don't know if it's good your thoughts
Hey faust can you do a comic book origin of static shock i would greatly appreciate it
What about the Exiles? Blink was in the series.
You are amazing
Can't nightcrawler teleport without all that fancy stuff
nightcrawler opens a portal to another dimension (demon dimension) and goes through that dimension very fast and appears in a new location back in his dimension. and if he ever goes through that dimension slower then the demons have a chance to catch him and eat him.
it has also been said in a game that Nightcrawler needs to see the place where he wants to teleport or else the teleportation might go wrong, while Blink can teleport as far as the moon without necessarily looking at the place. But it was only in X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse, so i don't know if it is correct for the comics.
super Slam he opens a portal to another dimension
I think that Blink is probably related to Nightcrawler.
Maybe...
Алиса Босконович I think she dis something similar in the Exiles series, but I could be mistaken...
blink story is so deep!
Hi! Can you please lead me to those issues where blink was saved by selene and the battle that came after that, Please. Im tracking down all blinks stories and it would be truly helpful you could guide me through it.
Thank you!
Yea i was wondering what those pink things she was holding in her hand. Because she can teleport but why does she need those energy things
her teleportation javelins are a manifestation of her teleportation powers, kind of like boom boom, who can make bombs of energy that explode. blink can make teleportation javelins that when thrown can teleport what it touches away, or can cause them to go out of phase with reality and knock them out. she doesn't need them to teleport tho, also I am not sure if other people can touch them without being teleported away. :)
Rustin427 plus it helped with the elf ranger look they were going for when they redid the character. to give her a quiver of javelins/arrows. :)
Rustin427 oh how cool thanks soo much.
If Blink and Nightcrawler had a kid the kid's codename should be named be Bamf.
Hey, could you do history's of villians?
I think he has but maybe like one or twice
What are your opinions on the black captian America and female Thor
You are forgetting Blink from the Exile series, this Blink is from the Age of Apocalypse Universe where she had full control of her powers and was trained to fight by her universe's Sabertooth who becomes a father figure to her. Plus she was the Leader of the Exiles! So in a while 616 Blink hasn't done a lot but 295 Blink has!

But the Exiles were an multi-universal team not only was each member from a different universe but they went universe to universe. They even had mainstream people like Psylocke and Sage on the team.
But it wasn't set in the 616, and the Blink in it wasn't from 616.
ItsSuperEffective well technically she did go from 616 into the exiles. but blink was only in 616 for a short time, four characters made it out of AoA before it collapsed. blink being one of them. and before that she came from Age of Apocalypse. (universe 295)
