Strobe is a fictional mutant character in the Marvel Comics Universe. She was created for the villainous team the Mutant Liberation Front (MLF).

Strobe made her first appearance in New Mutants #86. However, in this issue she appears in only one panel, with her face obscured, and is not identified, though one of her teammates, Tempo, is incorrectly addressed as "Strobe". Her first full appearance is in New Mutants #87.

The Mutant Liberation Front (MLF), including Strobe, first came on the scene to demand the liberation of two incarcerated mutants, Skids and Rusty Collins. They destroy an energy plant as proof of their convictions. The group tries to free them by force, but this only ends in confusion. During the break-in, Cable tries to intervene and a prison guard accidentally shoots Rusty. Skids believes that it was Cable who shot her friend, so she decides to side with the MLF.

The New Mutants track the team down to Madripoor and get in a few conflicts with them. Even with the help of Sunfire, the MLF manages to capture several of the New Mutants. However, their victory is short-lived with the arrival of Wolverine who helps the teens liberate their kidnapped friends. But before the MLF can be caught, they teleport to safety.

Strobe next appears with an MLF strike force who attempt to break Nasty Boys members Slab and Hairbag out of prison. They succeed and then set their eyes on destroying the Tucker clinic, however they are thwarted by X-Factor who had been tipped off by MLF member Tempo. With their leader almost being captured, the MLF once more escapes to freedom.
