Dazzler's New Look

Dazzler isn't too happy and she's giving herself a makeover.

Dazzler's had it rough lately. She became the mutant liaison for S.H.I.E.L.D. and some didn't take that too well, calling her a traitor and such. To make things worse, Mystique kidnapped Dazzler and was farming her to produce the Mutant Growth Hormone drug. While Dazzler was sedated and locked away, Mystique was posing as her causing even more mischief.

Dazzler was finally rescued by Magneto and she's not too happy with recent events.

As Dazzler gets back on her feet, she's giving herself a new look. This isn't the first time she's changed things up. We all know originally she was a Disco Queen. She also had that blue spandex look with the short hair and headband.

Kris Anka posted her new look on his Tumblr.

The question is, what do you think of this new look for Dazzler? Do you like the change in hair color and style? Do you like the torn costume look to match her anger?

We also have a poll going if you really want to make your thoughts official-like and vote.

This looks like a DC redesign. And that's not a good thing. At all.

Nah, they forgot the kneepads and v-neck.

Based on this picture, I'm not too fond of the new look but I really like Dazzler has a character and I'm curious to see in which direction they're going to take her.

I like everything except the tears and the skirt. I'd like it better if it was a one piece.

I don't hate it (maybe DC has numbed me these days) but I do think it's too much rock, not enough glam. Not feeling the tears.

Just saw her Wiki blurb and I'm curious as to what makes her an "Omega Level" mutant? I get that the term is nebulous, but still...

They did the same thing with Speedball and he became an angst-ridden joke.

I am not impressed at all, but then I think the best Dazzler was the one when she had her own comic.

Awful. I'm all for casual-looking superhero costumes but this has no appeal whatsoever. If anything, for such a supposedly "punk rock" redesign this is pretty bland.

This is one of the instances where I was glad to read that everyone else felt similarly to how I did about a topic; gratuitously changing a character with little to no regard for how the property was envisioned or how it has evolved. What makes it worse is the obvious, blatant appeal to a demographic line that should be as equally offended.

One person did point out that it is nice that the character is getting some attention; but hopefully we can all agree that not all attention is a positive. Yeesh.

There is nothing punk rock about a turtleneck...... Other than that I can imagine Comic Book Girl 19 is doing back flips that they made her favorite X-Men look more like her......

aHaha that's what I thought

It's garbage. I guess the artist saw Joker's daughter and thought he could out do him for a crappiest attempt at an edgy redesign.

So apparently Bendis just discovered Nu metal from the late 90's, This look is already terribly dated, I guess Bendis was attempting to modernize Dazzler by barring her from the 80's to the late 90's?, This girl look like she came from a Coal Chamber concert rocking an antichrist superstar T-shirt.

The look that rocks from the 90's is The Jim lee's look, the one that we saw X.men TAS. This look has nothing to do with it

i meant the look she used in the 90's

I am fully aware of that look. What i meant was that her most known and iconic look is this one:

or maybe her original costume as well:

There's nothing wrong with the design itself, but it makes no sense for Dazzler to be goth all the sudden, especially when goth hasn't been in-style for like 10 years.

What's up with loads of Marvel women getting mohawks? Carol Danvers, Storm, etc. Dazzler kinda looks like Domino now too.

dazzler was never a great character. but Ultimate Dazzler was worst character ever, a shallow cardboard cutout sterotype of emo/punk/metal culture and Bendis made her. Can't believe he's doing the exact same thing again!

I remember there was this guy on Marvel Forum and on CBR who was obsessively in love with Ultimate Dazzler. he posted nonsense for months about how Ultimate dazzler death was worst thing in the world.
I bet he's far too excited about this news.

I hate when they get mediocre artists to do the first draft of a character redesign. Dazzler looks terrible...

I actually really like the general redesign. Too many holes in her clothes, though.

This is a huge mistake and I really hope this doesn't last.
