Blind Al is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She is 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 complex and bizarre. Actress Leslie Uggams portrayed Blind Al in its sequel. Al is a skinny old woman, her origin is never explicitly elaborated. It is revealed that she was somehow involved with British intelligence, although in what capacity is unknown, she was blind by this point and had been most of her life. Wade Wilson, the mercenary who would become Deadpool, was hired to kill her in Zaire, where she was stationed. What occurred is unknown, but Wilson killed everyone around except her, allowing her to flee. Years after he had gotten cancer, received a healing factor from Weapon X, gone insane, become Deadpool, Wilson met up with Al again and captured her.

Thus began the bizarre relationship between the two, with Al acting as a cross between a prisoner, housekeeper, Greek Chorus and mother-figure to Deadpool. At times, Wade could be unbelievably cruel to Al, he would insult her and play cruel pranks, taking advantage of her blindness. He would kill anyone who tried to help her escape; when she angered him, he would put her in a small room filled with sharp objects. He forced her to cook and clean for him, dangled the prospect of freedom in front of her only to snatch it away. On the other hand, Al seems to wield a subtle authority over him, appears to be the only person, not afraid to stand up to him; the pranks never bother her, as she is more than clever enough to get back at Deadpool, she is sharper than he is when it comes to insults. When the series opened, Al had been with Wade for years, 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 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, it becomes clear that she is sticking it out with him because she believes that he has the potential to become a good person, she hopes her influence over him may encourage him in that direction, she hints that she has a rather dark past, feels that redeeming Wade may help her make up for past deeds. They share an adventure together through time, she seems as much a parent as a prisoner to him, he gives her Deuce the Devil Dog as a present. However, Deadpool soon hits a low personal ebb, 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, referring to him as "master" to highlight his cruelty; the guilt he feels is enormous, after meeting and having some counseling by Monty the precog in issue #17, he declares her a free woman.

Knowing about her good influence, she refuses to leave, so he teleports with her into a park, they talk and he leaves her there. They meet again in the Golden Gate Park, San Francisco the same park where he left her. In issue #14, 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, Al decided to leave for a friend's in Maine, she escaped, trekked across the country, 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."Since her appearances have become much more sporadic, although it is clear that she and Deadpool are still in contact. She appeared in Cable & Deadpool #36, where Wade approaches her to validate his plan to restore his reputation by battling Taskmaster. 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.

She appeared in Thunderbolts #10, in which she helps Deadpool and Agent Venom to find the location of Dr. Vanko. 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, is able to beat the wisecracking title character in a battle of insults. When they matched wits, Al got the better of Deadpool, making his pranks backfire and treating him like a spoiled child. Al once sabotaged all of Deadpool's weapons, her rationale being that his death would be the worst-case scenario, she wouldn't have to worry about retaliation. Despite their antagonistic relationship, Blind Al showed that she genuinely cared for Wade, as when she refused to leave him after being granted her freedom, baked him a cake when he attempted to become a hero. Deadpool gave Al Deuce the Devil Dog (which Weas
