Blindfold
Ruth Aldine
A blind telepathic and precognitive mutant who speaks in fragmented, nonlinear sentences that reflect her fractured perception of time. A student at Xavier's school, Ruth formed a close bond with Legion and was central to several storylines involving the X-Men's future. Her tragic death before the Krakoan era was a catalyst for the events of House of X.

Blindfold remains a cult favorite among X-Men fans, particularly those who appreciate the psychic-heavy character work in Simon Spurrier's acclaimed X-Men Legacy run and the Krakoa-era Legion of X series. Her cryptic, backwards-speaking dialogue and precognitive abilities make her a standout presence, though she's often cited as an underutilized character with untapped potential. Fans regularly champion her for adaptation in X-Men '97 or the MCU, drawn to her unique powerset and the emotional depth Spurrier brought to her relationship with Legion.
