(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Bloodlines") - With anti-mutant sentiment at an all-time high mutant students like Blink needed a police escort to safely reach their schools. The moment was captured on camera and shown during an UBC reportage.
(X-Men '97: The Animated Series cartoon - "Remember It" - BTS) - At an unrevealed point in time Blink moved to the nation of Genosha, a mutant paradise, allowing mutants to live in absolute freedom.
(X-Men '97: The Animated Series cartoon - "Remember It") - The flourishing mutant nation of Genosha was targeted by the techno-organic Sentinel hybrid Bastion who send a monstrous Mastermold to destroy and kill all mutants. While several of the X-Men tried to oppose the threat, Blink was seen on the top of a building where injured mutants were looked after.
(X-Men '97: The Animated Series cartoon - "Bright Eyes") - Having survived Bastion's devastating attack on Genosha, Blink was seen during a large-scale rescue operation. While relief efforts were underway and the search for survivors continued, Blink was present when the X-Men arrived on Genosha to join the rescue effort. Blink was presumably in the area when Jean Grey and Cyclops pulled the White Queen (Emma Frost) from the rubble.
Comments: Created by Scott Lobdell and Joe Madureira;
adapted by Len Uhley and AKOM Productions (animation studio). (see Appearances list for full list of artists)
An older version of Blink was seen in X-Men: The Animated Series episode, "One Man's Worth - Part I" in the dystopian future of Earth-95099 where Blink, part of the Mutant Resistance fought humankind. This version is based on the Blink we know from the Age of Apocalypse storyline.
When, in 2015's Secret Wars, the Multiverse was destroyed following the incursions of planets it appeared as if Reality-92131 was drafted onto Battleworld as the Westchester domain. However, this has since been debunked. As such the reality seen in the two volumes of X-Men '92 (2015 and 2016-2017) now have their own reality-designation of Earth-15730. The X-Men '92: House of XCII (2022) series was inspired by both the animated series and Hickman's House of X run but is its own separate reality. The limited series X-Men '97 (2024), however, is Reality-92131 and bridges the gap between the original X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon and the new X-Men '97: The Animated Series cartoon.
