BRIEF Bio: Alison Blaire was once one of the hottest names in Pop Music. At the height of her fame, she was selling out venues, and topping charts. In between gigs, she was also an X-Man. She tried very hard to balance stardom, with heroism. It wasn’t easy, but for a while, she made it work. Then Alison made a choice. She chose to come out as a mutant, hoping her fame could promote tolerance and acceptance. Instead, it backfired spectacularly. Her record label dropped her, sponsors vanished, and headlines turned cruel. She went from being a celebrated Pop Star, to “controversial” celebrity overnight. She tried going underground, releasing indie albums, and scraping by with low-profile gigs, while still fighting for mutant rights. However, she could never regain the fame she once had.

Now in her thirties, Alison is broke, burned out, and struggling to stay relevant in a world that seems more hostile to mutants than ever. She was ready to give up. That is, untill Warren Worthington offered her a spot on his new Champions Team. She needed the money, but more than that, this was a real shot at redemption. Maybe she’ll never be the superstar she once was… but this? This could be the second act she’s been waiting for.
Storylines: [list][*]She becomes the public face of the team, whether she likes it or not.

[*]A former producer uses her past against her to ruin her reputation, framing her for mutant aggression.

[*]Dazzler puts on a benefit concert in Darkwater to improve mutant-human relations… and it becomes the battleground for a villain attack.[/list]

Notes: She’s very done with being underestimated.
