History
Alison grew up under the watchful eye of her lawyer father on Long Island. Always eager to perform, Alison was a talented singer who was unable to catch any breaks-until the day she became a mutant. With the ability to transform sound into light, Alison became an overnight sensation in a world looking for the next big mutant act. She became the biggest pop star in the world, selling millions of records and performing in front of stadiums full of loyal fans.

Unfortunately, like all teen idols, her star eventually faded and she drifted from the public eye. After years in obscurity, the girl once known as Dazzler discovered her new calling as the host of her own talk show, Alison. Able to shed her pop past, Alison was known for her ability to get not only the biggest mutant heroes to do her show, but also political leaders. Alison was the place mutants and humans turned to find out what's hot in the mutant world and what they should be thinking. It was the most popular talk show in America, and perhaps the world.
According to the tabloids, Alison's signature lightshow was fading due to a rare blood disorder, which was causing her to lose her mutation. Storm used Alison's show to sound off on her disapproval of Magneto's handling of mutant affairs. Mr. Sinister watched Alison when Deadpool went to rescue an infant Cable.
Powers and Abilities
Powers
- Sound Conversion: ability to transduce sonic vibrations, which reach her body into various types of light. This ability seems to operate over a great range of frequencies, including the audible spectrum (35 to 16,500 cycles per second), and a great variation of sound pressure levels regardless of the complexity, dissonance, or randomness of the sound. The Dazzler’s potential to convert sound to light is unlimited. She cannot use any sound produced by her own body unless it is amplified, such as singing into a microphone and absorbing the sound from speakers.
- Sound Release: ability to release the absorbed sound in one burst.
- Photokinesis: Dazzler possesses a body-wide energy field that controls the energy levels of the outer electron shells of her body in such a way as to cause the cascaded release of photons. Left undirected, the Dazzler’s light will radiate from her body in all directions, producing regular flashes of white light (white light is a mixture of all portions of the visible spectrum). By conscious control over the light she produces, she can control its direction, frequency (color), amplitude (intensity), and duration. Apparently the Dazzler must consciously or subconsciously will the light to leave her body. Otherwise, light would “leak” from her at all times, even when she was asleep or unconscious. She can produce numerous effects with the light she converts from sonic vibrations. She can simply cause a bright glow all about her body. She can create very simple patterns out of rays of light like circles, squares, triangles, and stars. She can create a pulse of light on the order of several thousand watts seconds of power, which temporarily blinds people with its brilliance. She can create a chaotic cascade of sparkling lights and colors that severely upsets other people’s equilibrium, or a pulsating strobe-light effect.
- Due to a rare blood disease Dazzler is infected with, her powers are fadding therefore leading her shows to end. This lead to her talkshow.
