ALTERNATE VERSIONS
When Legion created the dystopian pocket reality known as Age of X, all mutants were confined to Fortress X, where they defended themselves against relentless human attacks. In this warped reality, Bling and all the residents of Utopia were victims of Legion's manipulation, with their histories altered by the reality distortion. Interestingly, this incarnation of Bling showed an attraction to Julian Keller (Hellion), suggesting that either she was closeted or, within this altered world, she identified as straight. Additionally, Bling’s past was briefly explored, revealing that she was one of a number of children for whom Mystique sacrificed herself. Eventually, the pocket reality was undone and Bling, along with the X-Men, returned to their original forms in the real world. This version of events was later designated Earth-11326, indicating that a variation of Bling might exist somewhere in the multiverse.
