Powers: In the normal Marvel Universe, Clarice had the ability to displace objects, both people and things, in time and space. In the various alternate realities, she gained the ability to teleport, to transfer her disrupting energies into daggers, and create portals. She was also a great fighter, trained by Sabretooth. In all realities, she has pinkish skin with facial markings. Her powers come from her being a mutant.

Origin: In this reality, Clarice was a shy young girl. Little is known about her, except the fact that the Phalanx had kidnapped her along with the teenagers that soon become Generation X. They were attacked by the Phalax Harvest, but a group of X-Men came to save them. Harvest, however, proved too much for the fledging group. Clarice sacrificed herself by disrupting Harvest's body. In the end, she, Harvest, and Phalanx's ship disappeared forever, and Generation X mourned their first loss.

HIstory: That, however, is not the end of Clarice's story. During the Age of Apocalypse, an alternate reality caused by Legion killing Professor X, Clarice was Blink. As a child, her family had been killed during a fire, and her life was saved by Sabretooth, in this reality a hero and member of the X-Men. He raised her, teaching the skills needed to survive in that gruesome world. She eventually became an X-Man.
Blink was one of the most powerful X-Men, with her spatial powers she could destroy almost anything. She alone took on Holocaust, one of Apocalypse, and managed to defeat the maniac. However, the Age of Apocalpyse was not the true reality, and the X-Man called Bishop helped set that world back on the right course of time.
That too is not the end of Blink's story. In another alternate reality, Blink was plucked from time. She entered the Negative Zone, but had lost her memories. She regained them, but did not return home. Instead, she became part of a team called the Exiles, a group of mutants trying to fix problems in the time-stream.
There, she was attached to the Tallus, who uses her spatial powers to jump from one reality to the next. However, if her mission fails, because the Age of Apocalypse was destroyed, she too will disappear from existence. During her tenure with the team, she had formed a relationship with an alternate version of Calvin Rankin, the Mimic, and become the team's leader. Blink is still with the Exiles, fixing the problems that time messed up.
