Strobe is a fictional mutant character in the Marvel Comics Universe. She was created for the villainous team the Mutant Liberation Front (MLF) as the main antithesis for X-Force. She made her debut in "New Mutants" #86.

Fictional character biography

During the legislation which proposed the enactment of the "Mutant Registration Act", two members of the New MutantsSkids and Rusty Collins—were imprisoned for refusing to sign. After this atrocity, the Mutant Liberation Front (MLF), including Strobe, first came on the scene to demand the liberation of the pair. The group tries to free them by force, but this only ends in confusion. During the break-in, Cable tries to intervene and a prison guard accidentally shoots Rusty. Skids believes that it was Cable who shot her friend, so she decides to side with the MLF.

The New Mutants track the team down to Madripoor and get in a few conflicts with them. Even with the help of Sunfire, the MLF manages to capture several of the New Mutants. However, their victory is short-lived with the arrival of Wolverine who helps the teens liberate their kidnapped friends. But before the MLF can be caught, they teleport to safety.

Strobe next appears with an MLF strike force who attempt to break Nasty Boys members Slab and Hairbag out of prison. They succeed and then set their eyes on destroying the Tucker clinic, however they are thwarted by X-Factor who had been tipped off by MLF member Tempo. With their leader almost being captured, the MLF once more escapes to freedom.

As the events of the "X-Cutioner's Song" begin to unfold, the MLF finds itself collecting an array of ancient relics. The team, including Strobe, split into strike forces to steal the various artifacts that will help Apocalypse from his slumber. Later on, in "X-factor #85", the New Mutants, X-Factor and the X-Men discovered the latest MLF base in Dust Bowl, Arkansas. After an intense battle, all member of the MLF are captured and taken into custody. After this, Strobe never made a reappearance.

However, in the wake of M-Day—an event in which a mentally ill Scarlet Witch depowered over 90% of the mutant population—Strobe was shown to be one of the many who lost her powers ("revealed in New Avengers #18").

Powers and abilities

Strobe formerly had the ability to fly, project heat and light blasts capable of blinding, scorching, or melting opponents and objects, and create energy shields.
