Spotlight on...

"shuttling between his job as an urban planner in New York city and active membership in the Avengers"
Ah! At last, I've been looking for a link between the world of the superhero and the dynamic world of civil engineering:)
He seems to be a character developed especially to relate to the youth of America in a time in its history when it needed positive black role-models. Social worker, life of crime, gangs, all the things one would stereotypically associate with that time. (1969 was the first appearance of him)
The character though, the only thing I don't like is the pet falcon. Reminds me of She-Ra.
 
I've read in Wizard that his alter ego has multiple personalities, being "3 different people." That's all I remember. He and Spider-Man will guest star on MARVEL TEAM-UP, in March's or April's issue.

Ok, Blink- first of all, is a girl.

Blink orignated from the AoA event. There she was brought up by the Sabretooth of that alternate verse. She currently is in Exiles. Her mutant power is to create portals that 'blink' you to other places in a 'blink' of an eye. (Both puns intented. ;))

That's what I can tell ya.
 
She was in the formation of Generation X, but died as the team was forming in a battle with the phalanx.
Her next appearance was in AoA where she was a member of Magnetos X-Men and after AoA shes been in Exiles and started a relationship with Mimic.
 
Blink also had a brief relatinoship with Annihulus when he was an amnesiac during the Blink miniseries. Annihulus however regained his memories and Clarice returned to AoA, a few months before it was destroyed. Just before the nukes hit, she was pulled into an energy portal and saved. She is very close to her father figue Sabretooth and is currently involved with Mimic.
 
Moonknight

Going back to Moonknight. Since the Handbook came out and I read up on him. I dunno he looks cool and sounds cool but his history bothers me. It's real long too... The whole time reading up on him all I could think to myself is this guy really needs an ultimization...
 
if i recall correctly Moon Knight was one of the first marel attempts to emulate Batman, he resembles him in so many ways it's laughable. The attempt seeminly failed.
