Dazzler needs to be allowed to do more than hold impromptu concerts
There should honestly be a Dazzler and the X-Tracts book where she's out saving mote aspects of mutant culture and its contributors from being wiped off the globe.

Also when I hear Dazzler talk in my head, or imagine how she acts - lady miss kier all the way.
Also since no comic books are coming out any time soon and since they keep sleeping on ol girl- anyone wanna publish a concurrent Dazzler online comic w/me? Collaboration is what's Savin the nation!
Actually curious how she still has fans if humanity supposedly is out to kill every mutant for even breathing.
I think that'd be interesting to dissect. Are there 'passable' mutants?' The dichotomy between artist and their art. I mean dazzler gets put back out in the public, in her publication history, because of resurgence a in popularity of her music. Can music transcend hate? Resurgence a in the mainstream means that humans are out there eating up or rediscovering her music. It'd be interesting to unpack why.
I think she is one of those artists/performers that people's love of her music outweighs their prejudices. It happens all the time in the real world, so that is what I've always thought was the case for her. Like all the racist people who love basketball or football stars or a staunch republican loving Barbra Streisand's voice but not able to watch any interviews with her.
I do think she should be used in universe as a piece of PR or Public Ambassador for Krakoa with more of the high profile well known mutants. Use her celebrity for good.
I don't post often, but I like to chime in now and again.
Also- Dazzler can't help who she inspires. I wanna see them go in on Dazzler's music being this uncomfortable thing that created a polarizing fan base of people from all over the spectrum. I mean they kind of told that story with the NextWave Kids from the Ranch, but why not go innnnnn on the culture?
yeah. I see Dazzler in kind of a Normani situation - there are the racist losers and bottom-feeders who sling hate her way but she's undeniably talented, has a dedicated fanbase and the respect of the GP nonetheless.
god. just put her back in a book already . I would love to see something like this discussed in-story pre-HOX and now that that mutant rights have blown up even more in the MU it would only be more interesting. If Juggs can get a book Ali shouldn't be a stretch lol
Also is Dazzler a 'passable' mutant. I'd love to see passability politics explored with Dazzler...
Anyone have that picture of Dazzler holding her light saber from New Excalibur?
