In the Age of Apocalypse storyline, Professor X was killed years before he ever formed the X-Men. An alternate reality unfolded into which the 5,000-year old super mutant Apocalypse gained control of North America and implemented a genocide campaign against regular humans.Clarice Ferguson was born in Cartusia, Bahamas. Her purple skin complexion revealed her to be a mutant at birth. Her parents accepted this fact but feared their daughter would not be accepted by the local population. When Clarice was four, the Fergusons moved to Miami, Florida, United States. They hoped Miami would be home to a mutant population where an older Clarice would be able to socialize.Clarice was a child when Apocalypse took over Miami. Blink was discovered by Apocalypse's Horseman Mister Sinister and his right-hand, the Dark Beast, who experimented on her, refining her powers (thus explaining the differences in the abilities of the regular Marvel Universe Blink and her Age of Apocalypse counterpart).However, Sabretooth and Weapon X, members of the of the resistance force, the X-Men, raided Beast's laboratories and rescued Blink. She then became the adopted daughter of Sabretooth.Blink grew into adulthood with the X-Men. She was impulsive and not always willing to follow orders, but became an important X-Man. In a limited series which focused uniquely on her character, Blink was briefly transported into the Negative Zone, where she became romantically involved with the amnesic Annihilus, although he forced her to leave when he began to transform back into his original form.Eventually, the X-Men encountered the time traveling X-Man Bishop, who set a course of events that prevented the death of Professor X, eliminating the Age of Apocalypse reality.Before it ended, however, Blink was mysteriously transported to a strange desert plateau, where she met a group of other mutants from various realities who had been unstuck in time. A cosmic monitor called the Timebroker explained that each had become "unhinged" from reality, and their new mission was to visit various parallel worlds and "correct wrongs."Blink became the leader of this group of Exiles and has formed a relationship with her teammate Mimic. They went to many worlds, fighting the Hulk, Galactus, Weapon X, Mojo, and the Vi-Locks. On the world where the Legacy Virus was taking over, Blink was infected by it. She was later cured, however. They were celebrating when the Timebroker appeared, saying that Blink was going home. She was replaced by Magik. She landed in Sabretooth’s reality and helped him destroy Sentinels, but then, David Richards hijacked her teleporting ability and made her kill dozens of humans. Blink was scarred by the experience, and would have kept going had Sabretooth not saved her. She then came back to the Exiles after Sunfire died. For the next mission, they fought Hyperion and Weapon X. While fighting Hyperion, Blink teleported Hyperion's laser attack back at him. Then, Gambit blew himself and Hyperion up, thus completing the mission. Then, she was replaced by Mystique on one of the next missions, but she escaped. When the Exiles raided Panoptichron to rebel against the Timebroker, she helped defeat the resurrected Hyperion by teleporting a lot of sand into him. She is also able to teleport things into space, such as Ego's footsoldiers, Doctor Doom's imploder, and Sabretooth. Losing Mimic after Proteus withered his body away. Proteus also took the body of Morph, causing Blink to distant her self from Sabretooth, become more hardened and serious, as indicated by calling Sabretooth "Victor" instead of "Mister Creed". Blink was finally able to trap Proteus in Morph's body by blinking a behavior modification crown onto his head, causing him to believe he really is Morph. With the hunt for Proteus at an end, Blink remained an Exile to continue fixing damaged realities. She and the other Exiles returned everyone in the Stasis Gallery to their home realities, dead or alive. Blink was going to bury Mimic in the Panoptichron desert until Power Princess suggested that she check with Mimic's family on burial wishes. Blink returned Mimic to his home reality for burial.Blink has the ability to teleport herself and others at will. While the regular Marvel Universe version of Blink had little control over her abilities, the Age of Apocalypse/Exiles Blink had mastered several methods of utilizing her powers.Blink can teleport large masses, including sizable groups of people. She can also teleport only parts of objects. She can open portals that displace projectiles and even enemies that threaten her. She can focus her ability into short, transparent, crystal-like javelins, which teleport whatever people or objects they touch. She usually keeps a supply of these in a quiver around her back. Her teleportations are always accompanied by a "blink!" sound, from which she takes her codename.She's proven many times to be a skilled hand-to-hand fighter, and it's unkown whether her enhanced agility is the result of simple training or a consequence of her mutation.Blink also has a somewhat unusual appearance with lilac skin, dark pink hair and glowing green eyes (this was a change in Exiles: both MU and AoA Blink had white eyes with a blue sheen). She also has pink marks across her face: these were present at birth, and are not scars, tattoos, etc.Name: Clarice FergusonCode Name: BlinkAge: 21

Slade was characterised with pink hair and eyes that were tinted green, and he had the ability to teleport himself, others and selected objects with a 'blink' effect. In the hope that the Clan Akkaba would still continue, Apocalypse's servant Ozymandias, made sure that Frederick would sire a child with a woman known as Miss Ferguson. Given the similarity in powers and allusions made within the mini series, it is assumed that Clarice Ferguson/Blink is a descendent of the 19th Century Frederick Slade and Miss Ferguson and therefore a descendent of Apocalypse.As the Age of Apocalypse diverged from Earth 616 decades later, with Charles Xavier's death at Legion's hands, it is obvious that the AoA Blink is also a descendant of Apocalypse.
