Ink (Eric Gitter) is a fictional character, a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. As a member of the Young X-Men, he is decipted as a powerless human who gained superpowers after being tattooed by a mutant, and each of his tattoos gives him a different power.
Created by Marc Guggenheim and Yanick Paquette, the character made his first appearance in Young X-Men #1.
Ink is one of the founding members of the Young X-Men team that believed themselves to have been organized by Cyclops. He is a loud-mouthed and rude teenager with a criminal past. He is introduced when two police officers attempt to arrest him in a tattoo parlor. He fights back using his newly acquired ability to make others violently ill with a touch by utilizing a new tattoo on his hand of a biohazard symbol, making the police officer instantly very sick. Despite this, he is arrested anyway.
While Ink waits in jail, a prison guard releases him, in the process revealing himself to be Cyclops, leader of the X-Men. In short order, Eric is recruited into Cyclops' junior X-Men team. The teens are assembled in the Danger Cave, a training facility where they train for their first mission: assassinating the original members of the New Mutants who have gone rogue.
Cyclops sends Ink and fellow recruit, Blindfold to attack Dani Moonstar. On their way to Moonstar's cabin, they had a conversation where Blindfold implied Ink was not a mutant. They were successful in their mission, and just after Blindfold knocks Moonstar unconscious, Ink betrays her and knocked out Blindfold, warning her that she should have seen that coming. Ink was paid to deliver both Blindfold and Moonstar to Donald Pierce, which he did, though he refused to kill them. He delivers the two women to Pierce, who refers to him as a mercenary.
