X-Men: Days of Future Past
In the futuristic Moscow, where buildings are crumbling in smoky ruins, Warpath and Blink are whisked though a portal to a vast bomb shelter under the Kremlin. Shelves are full of food, the floor full of bunks, all inhabited by a band of mutant refugees, and there’s a shrine to fallen mutants in a distant corner. Suddenly, massive deep shockwaves echo from above while dust falls. As the Sentinels are dispatched to find and kills mutants living underground, they adapt to any situation and change their form. Iceman, Sunspot, Blink and Warpath fight the Sentinels while Shadowcat and Bishop run off into a closet somewhere. Bishop lays down and Kitty starts massaging his temples, sending his consciousness back in time. The others buy them time with their lives. A Sentinel snaps Sunspot's neck, Iceman has his head cut off and is crushed, Blink gets skewered and Warpath gets blasted to smithereens. As the Sentinel breaks through the closet and blasts fire, everything fades away, revealing that the past had changed.
Blink and her group retreat into a monastery in China where the X-Men are launching their plan to send Wolverine back in time and alter the history. While Shadowcat performs the process with an unconscious Wolverine, Blink and the rest of the group guard the monastery from the Sentinels. Ultimately, the Sentinels out-numbered the X-Men and Blink is killed along with her group. As the Sentinels entered the monastery while killing Iceman, the process completed before the Sentinels could kill Shadowcat and the past changed once again.
Blink, however, was not seen in the new timeline. Her fate and whereabouts are left unknown.
Powers
- Portal Creation - Blink possesses the power to create a teleportation vacuum in which multiple people or objects can enter at the same time. She can also close the vacuum at will, any object that does not exit the vacuum as it closes will be cut off. In addition, Blink has demonstrated that she can create multiple teleportation vacuums at once for effective defensive purposes. For example, she can quickly create vacuums to confuse and disorient the movements of attacking sentinels by teleporting them away from their intended targets or opening portals that transferred a sentinel's energy beam into one of their own, essentially backfiring their attacks.
