Marvel’s latest lineup of X-Men is headed for a confrontation with one of the deadliest mutants the Multiverse has to offer.

Introduced in 1979’s Uncanny X-Men #130 by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, the then-budding young mutant pop star Alison Blaire, better known as Dazzler, wields a unique power. After discovering her ability to convert sound into raw energy and control various forms of light, Alison embarked upon a career as one of the most explosive performers of all time. Using her powers during her performances, which in and of themselves helped fuel said powers, Dazzler quickly drew in a crowd of dedicated fans, not to mention the likes of the X-Men and Hellfire Club.
In the years since, Dazzler has played a key role on numerous super teams ranging from the X-Men to the Heralds of Galactus, all while continuing to perform alongside other mutant superstars such as Lila Cheney. Dazzler is an unexpectedly resilient mutant thanks to her numerous apparent deaths and subsequent resurrections. Although Dazzler doesn’t have a healing factor the same way as mutants like Wolverine, she does have the ability to resurrect herself from deaths that don’t involve the total obliteration of her physical form. As such, Dazzler has survived being pushed from a cliff, having her heart crushed and being shot, all on top of half a dozen other demises.
