10 Comic Book Characters Who Were Better On TV Than In Movies

10. Blink

The Marvel mutant Blink - perhaps best known for her role as leader of the Exiles - made her cinematic debut in what is arguably 20th Century Fox's best X-Men film, 2014's X-Men: Days of Future Past, played by Fan Bingbing.

Make no mistake, Blink's appearance in Days of Future Past wasn't bad by any means. That said, it wasn't necessarily something to write home about either. While Fan's Blink had a good look and her powers got a nice showcase early in the film, she - like many other characters - decidedly took a backseat once Wolverine's journey back to 1970s began, only popping up again during the movie's climax.

In comparison, a younger version of Blink featured on the Fox television series The Gifted was given a lot more to do. This time Played by Jamie Chung, Blink was one of the show's key characters, appearing in all 29 episodes. Across the show's two seasons, we got deeper insight into her backstory and snarky personality, as well as the personal connection she has to her powers of teleportation.
