Who is Dazzler?
Dazzler, whose real name is Alison Blaire, is a singer-songwriter and global pop star, is a mutant with the power to convert sound and light waves into light energy, emit blasts, and create shields. She gained fame by incorporating her mutant abilities into her performances. After facing discrimination during a concert, she embraces her identity and uses her powers to combat crime and protect the innocent.
Dazzler has been a member of various squads, including the X-Men and A-Force. She uses her music to advocate for mutant rights and social equity. Dazzler has a deep bond with Longshot, an extradimensional warrior from Mojoworld, which has led to a complex romance. Their union resulted in the birth of Shatterstar, but he was lost in a temporal paradox.
In the wake of the establishment of the mutant nation of Krakoa, Dazzler has played a pivotal role in shaping the cultural landscape of this new society, collaborating with Siryn to create a light show during a celebration.[29][30] She later aided X-Factor in rescuing mutants on Mojoworld using her musical talents alongside DJ.
After her boyfriend was revealed as a vampire, Dazzler joined the X-Terminators to fight vampires. At the Hellfire Gala, Dazzler joined the new X-Men team before an Orchis attack led to their demise. Resurrected by Askani, she aids Xavier in preventing the Enigma's existence by exploring Moira's 10th life.
Traversing timelines with Prodigy's powers, they face challenges like a timeline where Moira was killed by Illyana Rasputin. Despite concerns about mortality, Dazzler and the team persevere, even when saved by another X-Men team led by Abigail Brand.
A brief history of Dazzler
Alison Blaire was born to Carter and Katherine Blaire in Gardendale, New York. Their tense relationship was strained due to Katherine's departure as a toddler, leaving Carter to raise Alison with Bella Blaire's help. Carter had kept the shameful secret of Katherine from Alison.
As Alison grew up, her father became increasingly intolerant of her dreams of becoming a singer. Instead, Carter forced Alison to pursue an academic career and continue her path to law school. Alison's grandmother was more sympathetic and encouraged her to explore her creative energies.
Alison manifested her mutant abilities while performing at a high school dance when a gang of bikers disturbed the party and started attacking everybody. When she was about to be attacked herself she unleashed a blast of incredible brilliant light blinding all in attendance save herself.
For years, Alison kept her powers a secret from those closest to her, further alienating herself from her father. By the time she reached university, Alison began to explore both her powers and her musical ability. Alison crafted her own performing suit, and accessories, and named herself The Dazzler.
It was at this moment that Alison decided to abandon her father's dream. While at her graduation ceremony, Alison informed Carter that she would not be attending the law school he had selected for her and instead would pursue a life as a singer, without her father's blessing or financial support

Exploring Dazzler's powers
Dazzler is a mutant with the ability to transduce sonic vibrations that reach her body into various types of light. This ability seems to operate over a great range of frequencies, including the audible spectrum, and a great variation of sound pressure levels regardless of the complexity, dissonance, or randomness of the sound. Sounds as different as a car crash and a symphonic passage both produce convertible incoming acoustic vibrations.
Dazzler prefers utilizing the sound of music, particularly that which is rhythmically sustained. Not only is music more pleasant to her ears, but the steady beat of contemporary music provides a more constant source of sound to convert.
Dazzler has been shown to create a null space of sound in a certain radius of her person, as a result of pulling the sound in her area to her person, to either protect a crowd of people or to supercharge her power reserves.
Dazzler is a highly skilled athlete and hand-to-hand combatant thanks to her training with the X-Men and Gladiators, able to defeat over a dozen human combatants at once while purposely avoiding the use of her mutant abilities. In addition, she is a talented singer, actress, and dancer.
Dazzler is also a highly accomplished roller skater and can move at high speed. She is skilled enough to use her roller skates as weapons to strike an opponent's solar plexus in a flying kick. Dazzler occasionally wears a pair of roller skates that magnetically adhere to her boots.
