Notable aliasesBlind Alfred

Althea Winifred Sanderson, better known as Blind Al, is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She is commonly depicted as a supporting character of the antihero Deadpool.

Al first appeared in Deadpool #1, living with him in "The Deadhut", his house in San Francisco. At first her relationship with him was unclear, but over time it would reveal itself as highly complex and bizarre.

Actress Leslie Uggams portrayed Blind Al in the 2016 feature film Deadpool and its 2018 sequel set in the X-Men film series. She also reprised the role in Deadpool & Wolverine (2024), set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Fictional biography

[edit]

Al is a skinny old woman who, as her name suggests, is blind. Her origin is never explicitly elaborated. It is eventually revealed that she was somehow involved with British intelligence, although in what capacity is unknown. She was already blind by this point and had been most of her life. Wade Wilson, the mercenary who would eventually become Deadpool, was hired to kill her in Zaire, where she was stationed. What actually occurred is unknown, but apparently Wilson killed everyone around except her, allowing her to flee. Years later, after he had gotten cancer, received a healing factor from Weapon X, gone insane, and become Deadpool, Wilson met up with Al again and captured her.[volume & issue needed]

Thus began the bizarre relationship between the two, with Al acting as a cross between a prisoner, friend, housekeeper, Greek Chorus and mother-figure to Deadpool. At times, Wade could be unbelievably cruel to Al. He would frequently insult her and play cruel pranks, taking advantage of her blindness. He forbade her visitors and would kill anyone who tried to help her escape. When she angered him, he would put her in the Box, a small room filled with sharp objects (although he never actually locked the door, counting on her fear of him to keep her imprisoned). He also forced her to cook and clean for him, and dangled the prospect of freedom in front of her only to snatch it away.[1]

On the other hand, Al seems to wield a subtle authority over him, and appears to be the only person who is not afraid to stand up to him. The pranks never bother her, as she is more than clever enough to get back at Deadpool (putting laxatives in his food is a favorite), and she is even sharper than he is when it comes to insults. When the series opened, Al had already been with Wade for years, and a sort of peace had developed between them. Al seems grateful for having food, a roof over her head, all the Matlock she can "watch," and safety from those who wanted her dead, all in return for doing a few chores and putting up with Wade's twisted sense of humor. She is his closest confidant (even more so than Weasel) and trips to the Box become so infrequent as to be unheard of. She has an immense debt of gratitude to Deadpool for saving her life, and it gradually becomes clear that she is sticking it out with him because she believes that he has the potential to become a truly good person, and she hopes her influence over him may encourage him in that direction. She also hints that she has a rather dark past, and feels that redeeming Wade may help her make up for past deeds. They share an adventure together through time, where Al ends up impersonating May Parker. She seems as much a parent as a prisoner to him, and he even gives her Deuce the Devil Dog as a present.[2][3]

However, Deadpool soon hits a low personal ebb, and the peace between them becomes strained. This culminates in a trip to the Box after it becomes clear that Blind Al had been keeping visits from Weasel a secret from him. She gets her revenge however, by coldly shunning him, and referring to him as "master" to highlight his cruelty. The guilt he feels is enormous, and after meeting and having some counseling by Monty the precog, he declares her a free woman (just when he is teleported away by Ajax). Knowing about her good influence, she refuses to leave, so he teleports with her into a park, they talk (she was pretending she would be afraid to leave then) and he leaves her there.[4] They meet again in the Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, presumably the same park where he left her.[5]

While Al and Weasel are in The Box, Al recounts a tale of particular disturbance. About two years into her imprisonment, Deadpool left on a long assignment, and Al decided to leave for a friend's in Maine. She escaped, trekked across the country, and when she arrived at her friend's house, Deadpool was waiting for her, her friend tortured nearly to death in front of his dogs. She ends the story by saying "That is how you build a prison."[6]

Since then, her appearances have become much more sporadic, although it is clear that she and Deadpool are still in contact. She appeared in Cable & Deadpool, where Wade approaches her to validate his plan to restore his reputation by battling Taskmaster.[7]

Deadpool sends her a braille invitation to his marriage with Shiklah: however, due to a mishap with Wade's less-than-perfect grasp of braille, she goes to a gang funeral instead, utterly oblivious to her error.[8]

She also appeared in Thunderbolts (vol. 2) #10 (August 2013), in which she helps Deadpool and Agent Venom to find the location of Dr. Vanko.

Personality

[edit]

In keeping with the humorous tone of Deadpool's stories, Al's personality was not what one would expect from an imprisoned old blind woman. She exhibits toughness, is cynical in the extreme, and is able to beat even the wisecracking title character in a battle of insults. When they matched wits, Al usually got the better of Deadpool, making his pranks backfire and treating him like a spoiled child. Al even once sabotaged all of Deadpool's weapons, her rationale being that his death would be the worst-case scenario, and then she would not have to worry about retaliation.[9]

Despite their antagonistic relationship, Blind Al occasionally showed that she genuinely cared for Wade, as when she refused to leave him after being granted her freedom, and baked him a cake when he attempted to become a hero.

Deadpool gave Al Deuce the Devil Dog (which Weasel had won from Foggy Nelson in a poker game) as a joke. Although the dog adored her, she seemed to think of him as nothing but a "moronic flea-factory", and promptly had him neutered.[3]

Her hobbies include "Needlepoint, thimble collecting, planning escape routes... typical old lady twaddle."[1] She loves the show Matlock, and also expressed a fondness for The Daily Show.

Questions of identity

[edit]

Joe Kelly originally intended her to be the first Black Widow: "We were going to do the origin story of Blind Al, and show her as the original Black Widow and show how she was responsible for Wade getting cancer".[10] This is no longer considered canon.[volume & issue needed]

She was close friends with Captain America before he was frozen in the 1940s. She described her last meeting with him during a pep talk to Wade in which she produced a golden medal given to her by a young man she called "Blondie" in Moscow. Upon Deadpool losing the medal on a battlefield, Captain America recognized it, read the inscription aloud and recalled Al by name.[11]

It is unclear exactly how old Al is. In Deadpool #6 (June 1997),[12] Al refers to herself as a sexagenarian but she later claims to remember Flapper-dresses (popular in the 1920s)[1] and was later referred to by Montgomery Burns, a precog at Landau, Luckman, and Lake, as a septuagenarian.[13]

Other versions

[edit]

An alternate universe version of Blind Al appears in Deadpool MAX. This version, full name Althea Winifred Sanderson, is an agent of the CIA and head of the Deadpool, an unsanctioned asylum that trains assassins.[14] Prior to her work with the Deadpool, Sanderson orchestrated the murders of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Che Guevara, and John Lennon.[14]

Blind Al, whose real name is , is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by , primarily known as the blind, elderly roommate and former captive of the antihero (Wade Wilson). An Englishwoman with a storied past, she fought alongside during as part of Allied forces and later served as an operative for a covert organization called the Union, where she honed her skills. Blinded under circumstances that remain undisclosed in the source material, Althea encountered Deadpool in when he was hired to assassinate her; he ultimately spared her life but took her hostage, leading to years of imprisonment in his home that evolved into a complex, love-hate friendship marked by her sharp wit and sarcastic banter. Despite lacking superhuman powers, Blind Al's resilience, quick thinking, and moral influence on Deadpool—often encouraging his heroic tendencies—made her a fan-favorite in the Deadpool series, with notable appearances in titles like Deadpool (vol. 1) #1 (1997) onward. Over time, their dynamic shifted as Althea confronted the guilt of her past and eventually left Deadpool's side, surviving assassination attempts and maintaining her indomitable spirit into old age.

Creation and development

Creators and first appearance

Blind Al was created by writer Joe Kelly and artist as a supporting character in ' Deadpool ongoing series, which debuted as the anti-hero's first solo title in 1997 following his breakout role in . She made her first appearance in #1 (January 1997), introduced as Deadpool's blind elderly , later revealed to have been a former British operative whom he took hostage during a mission in , twisting classic spy tropes with her unflappable demeanor despite her disability. Conceived as a grounded to Deadpool's manic chaos, Blind Al provided wry commentary and stability, becoming a recurring and confidante in subsequent early arcs through 1998. This development aligned with Marvel's late-1990s push to expand solo titles for edgier, anti-heroic characters amid the post-New Warriors boom in mercenary and vigilante narratives.

Questions of identity

Blind Al's identity has long been shrouded in ambiguity within the Marvel Comics universe, with several non-canon hints in early Deadpool stories suggesting she could be an aged version of Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff). These implications arise from shared elements like advanced spy training and exceptional physical prowess, though such connections were never fully realized in the canon. Creator Joe Kelly originally planned to reveal Blind Al as the original Black Widow, tying her directly to Wade Wilson's cancer origin, but this storyline was abandoned before publication. Further intrigue stems from her implied connections to (Steve Rogers), evidenced by wartime references and her background in British intelligence during . In Deadpool #25, recognizes a Blind Al once possessed, inscribed to her, hinting at a past romantic or close professional relationship forged on the European front. Her role as a British intelligence operative during the war adds layers to this link, positioning her as a key ally in Allied espionage efforts alongside American super-soldiers. Later stories, such as Deadpool Corps: Rank and Foul #1 (2010), fleshed out her origin by depicting the Zaire incident where was hired to assassinate her, confirming her role as a British intelligence operative while maintaining ambiguity around her full identity. Age discrepancies further complicate Blind Al's backstory, as she is typically depicted as a sexagenarian or septuagenarian in her 1997 debut, yet 1940s flashbacks portray her as middle-aged, creating timeline inconsistencies within the sliding timescale of Marvel continuity. This portrayal suggests she was an adult operative in her 30s or 40s during WWII, which would place her age at over 80 by the modern era, conflicting with her more youthful elderly appearance in contemporary issues.

Instead of killing her, Wilson eliminated the operatives around her, effectively sparing her life and allowing her to escape immediate danger.

This push-pull dynamic highlighted Al's role as a grounding force, providing a semblance of normalcy in 's otherwise insane world while she navigated her captivity with sarcasm and survival instincts honed from her past.

Beneath this tough facade lies an underlying emotional depth, revealed in rare moments of vulnerability where she expresses concern for Deadpool's and , gently encouraging his heroic potential despite their tumultuous history.

Alternate versions

Deadpool MAX series

Introduced in Deadpool MAX #8 (May 2011), written by with art by , she possesses perfect eyesight despite her nickname, serving as a manipulative handler who recruits and directs Wade Wilson () for covert black operations. Unlike the elderly, blind companion of , this version is depicted as a seductive, ruthless figure in her prime, leveraging her skills to control Deadpool's chaotic tendencies for agency agendas. Sanderson's backstory establishes her as a veteran operative and CIA director entangled in black ops and terrorist dealings, where she honed her expertise as a deadly assassin. She manipulates through a mix of psychological leverage, , and direct command, assigning him to eliminate threats like mob bosses and international targets while exploiting his regenerative abilities for deniable ops.

Her debut occurs in Spider-Man 2099 #34 (August 1995), where her role retroactively ties into the broader 2099 era's narrative of corporate intrigue and street-level vigilantism. In : The End #1 (July 2019), a variant Blind Al appears in a dystopian future (Earth-TRN1204), serving as Deadpool's companion in his final days amid a post-apocalyptic world. Blind Al lacks dedicated story arcs in these non-Earth-616 continuities, instead functioning as recurring that cement her status as an indispensable fixture in Deadpool's lore.
