Dazzler

Origin

Alison was born to Judge Carter Blaire and Katherine Blaire in the Long Island suburb of Gardendale, New York. Her parents had a tight and tense relationship because her father was a strict law student, where as her mother was a free-spirited entertainer. Their relationship ultimately came to an end, when Katherine walked out on Carter while Alison was still a child, leaving Carter to raise her alone. Katherine's departure had a strong effect on Carter, who decided to keep her leaving a secret from Alison for the rest her life.

As Alison entered adolescence, and developed an ambition of becoming a talented singer, her father became extremely intolerant of the idea. He forced her to choose a life similar to his own and follow an education in law. However, despite her father's actions, Alison became a singer as well as continuing her path to law school. Alison's grandmother, Bella Blaire, was more sympathetic toward Alison and encouraged her to explore her real talents.

However, while Alison was performing at a high school dance show, her mutant powers manifested, and she was forced to blind all in attendance to save herself from persecution. After this event, Alison hid her mutation for years, afraid of what she was capable of. This only caused further alienation between her and her father. By the time she had reached university, Alison began to explore her mutation and continued excelling in her musical career. She created her own unique performing suit, with mirrored clothes, make-up, and a pair of roller-skates. She also gave herself the nickname, 'Dazzler.' At her graduation ceremony, she informed her father that she was not going to be attending the law school he'd selected. Instead she opted to pursue her career as a singer, with or without Carter's blessing and financial support.

Creation

The creation of Dazzler was the result of a cross-promotion between Marvel and a musical record label called Casablanca Records. Sometime around 1980, Casablanca approached Marvel with the idea of creating a new comic hero, while at the same time in the real world a new artist (working for Casablanca) would take on the same persona as this character. John Romita Jr. designed her first costume, but the remainder of Dazzler's character traits came together from the input of many people. Conflicts between the ideas developed by Marvel and the record company arose. Dazzler made her first appearance in Uncanny X-Men #130 before the development had finished, and the cross promotion eventually collapsed, with Dazzler's solo series beginning in 1981.

Major Story Arcs

Meeting other Mutants

In one of her first major appearances, she managed to beat out the Enchantress during an audition for a local talent agency, despite the fact that the goddess used her magicks to enhance her singing ability. Enraged, the Enchantress attacked Dazzler at her show, where a number of prominent heroes were in attendance. Dazzler ended up defeating the Enchantress herself, and began the roller coaster of being a reluctant superhero.

In the beginning stages of her singing career, Alison had huge obstacles pop up in front of her: she was detected by both the X-Men and the Hellfire Club as a mutant, and both groups wished to recruit her, the Hellfire Club by force. They appeared at a club where Dazzler was performing and attacked with armored troops. With the X-Men's aid she escaped.

At her first stadium show, she was forced to battle the Hulk, who had been working (in his alter-ego form, Bruce Banner) as a roadie. After defeating the Hulk, she was noticed by the secret government organization Project Pegasus, who wanted to study her abilities.

While with the project, Alison's powers were tested exhaustively, and the scientists discovered that there was no limit to the amount of sound that she could transduce into light. Dazzler also had made her own discovery, she'd developed a mutual attraction to Quasar, who was head of security at Project Pegasus. The dalliance was short lived, however, when one of Dazzler's fellow subjects, Klaw, (who was composed of solid sound) attempted to escape. She aided Quasar in the battle, absorbing the would-be escapee completely. As an act of contrition, she succeeded where Klaw had failed and escaped the evil compound once and for all.

Soon after her escape, she was captured by Galactus. Galactus needed Dazzler's abilities, in that she was the only being that could safely exist in a black hole. His former herald Terrax, betrayed Galactus and fled from his wrath to hide in a black hole. Galactus super-charged Dazzler with sound, and sent her in after Terrax. Dazzler battled Terrax defeating and dragging him back to Galactus for punishment. Since she finished her assignment, she was returned to Earth.

One of the more exciting stories was in Dazzler #13 when Alison fought the Grapplers in Ryker's Island Prison. The women prisoners group consisted of Letha, Poundcakes, Screaming Mini/Songbird and Titania. At first the women have their way with the lovely girl and they cannot believe that she defeated Klaw. They consider her a creampuff. However, Alison eventually uses her mutant powers to defeat all four of the women.

Although Alison had many men vying for her affections, it was at this point that Archangel began courting her in earnest, seeing Alison as a preferable alternative to the string of bimbos he'd dated. Although things never worked out between them, he helped reunite her with her estranged father and mother. He also teamed up with Alison to battle Doctor Octopus.

Dazzler eventually traveled to the west coast, where she tried her hand at acting. She met and became romantically involved with movie producer Roman Nekoboh, who convinced her to film a movie telling her story. He also convinced her to come out as a mutant to her fans. Alison agreed, but the backlash from her non-mutant fans prevented them from releasing "Dazzler: The Movie."

Her career was in shambles. The only work she could procure was as a backing musician for interstellar rock star, Lila Cheney. This did not last long, since the Beyonder summoned a number of Earth's heroes (including Dazzler) to battle a number of villains. He also took a special romantic interest in Dazzler, declaring her the most beautiful and powerful being he had ever met. After several failed attempts to win her over, the Beyonder returned her to Earth.

X-Men

Dazzler was yet again forced into the life of a super-heroine, having been possessed by the entity known as Malice . She summoned the X-Men for help. They managed to defeat Malice and liberate Dazzler, at which point she realized that joining them was her best option. Unfortunately, in doing this she had to come to terms with the former villain Rogue, who had been one of Dazzler's worst enemies. During this period the X-Men left New York and stayed in Australia. This move was the result of a battle with the Adversary where the X-Men sacrificed their lives to power one of Forge's spells. Roma then resurrected the team and transported them to Australia. Storm led the team and they battled many devious villains including the Reavers, Master Mold, and Freedom Force(among others). They also defended New York against the demon hordes of Limbo during Inferno. While with the X-Men, Dazzler fell hard for fellow teammate, Longshot. Her training and skills grew as she stayed with them. However, when she looked within the magic gem known as the Siege Perilous, she saw all the other possibilities of her life (including a possible life as a bag-lady) shaking her new-found confidence. It became necessary for her to push Rogue through this gem, in order to defeat Master Mold. Psylocke was forced to send the surviving members through as well, to save their lives from the Reavers, who had taken over their town . After defeating Master Mold and fleeing the Reavers, an amnesia-suffering Dazzler washed up on a beach in Malibu, California. Luckily, she was found by fellow Cat's Laughing crew member, Strong Guy. She agreed to rejoin the band, but not even watching the public debut of her movie could return her memory.

Longshot and Mojoworld

Eventually, she was found by former lover Longshot, who convinced her to accompany him to his home dimension of Mojoworld. He had to return to the rebellion that he had begun. Slowly, her memories began to return and after their victory on Mojoworld, Alison married Longshot and became pregnant. Sadly, she lost the child due to a miscarriage.

Dazzler returned to Earth without Longshot and traveled to England, where her music was featured in a retro resurgence. She began singing in her original stage outfit. After the events of Decimation, the prejudice against mutants worsened, and Dazzler was as unpopular as ever. She fell on hard times resorting to low-level (if any) performances. With a horrible past, no friends, and no foreseen future, she turned to drugs.

Dazzler was next seen aiding Jean Grey (and the surviving mutants of Genosha) in battle against a re-powered Magneto, who had captured Professor X. Dazzler informed Jean that she believed Longshot had been killed. Jean also, could not help sensing that she had lost the baby. What actually happened has not yet been revealed, although it has been speculated that Shatterstar may actually be Dazzler's (and Longshot's) son as an adult.

New Excalibur

Dazzler resurfaced sometime later, joining Excalibur and giving her singing career another go. During her adventures with the team, Dazzler was "killed," multiple times, only to recover soon after. The first incident occurred after a gig in an English night club where she was killed by an evil Jean Grey. She later miraculously wake up in the hospital, having been given a clean bill of health. Her second death occurred during battle with Black Tom. One of his henchmen shot her in the back, but after a few moments she got up from her death and was essential in his defeat. So far, there has been no explanation as to her bizarre reincarnations. During her stint with New Excalibur; Dazzler, Nocturne, and Juggernaut entered into a rather obscure love triangle. Juggernaut's spurned affections lead to his descension back to villainy. In addition, the team allied itself with the Exiles and Dazzler was reunited Longshot, though he was now suffering from amnesia and did not remember her. Eventually, he regained his feelings for and memories of her and some of his memories during team-up. Together they left their teams to re-establish their relationship, but what transpired between them remains unknown. Dazzler rejoined the X-Men on Utopia and Longshot joined X-Factor in Detroit.

Rejoining the X-Men

Times again became tough and Dazzler had to put her microphone down. She spent almost all of her left-over money paying for the shows she'd canceled. With the last bit of money she had she bought her plane ticket to San Francisco. While on the plane, a man caused a bit of a ruckus going so far as to take a flight attendant hostage. Dazzler tricked the man into singing a duet to distract him. As the song ended, Dazzler blinded him with a light show and blasted him into unconsciousness. Another passenger was so impressed with her performance that he approached her about singing (once a week for a month) at a nightclub he owned. Dazzler accepted and now resides on Utopia with the other powered mutants.

As she adjusted to life in Cali, her career finally became somewhat steady. Even some of the X-Men attended her concerts. One night, as Pixie was leaving Dazzler's venue, she was badly beaten by the Hellfire Cult. She was rushed to the hospital and Beast sat by her side, informing her that he had a special guest to see her. Dazzler makes her entrance with little flickers of light dancing around her head. She stays with Pixie to raise her morale. As she left, Dazzler invited Pixie to join her on stage in future shows, due to Pixie's mutant abilities. Pixie politely declined the offer, explaining that she felt as though being an X-Man wasn't exactly for her. Dazzler understood completely, (having felt this way many times before) but informed Pixie that the offer still stood, no matter how long she waited.

Dazzler received her big break and her fame skyrocketed, but she never forgot about the deal she made with Pixie. Pixie soon took her up on the offer decline and began aiding her in many performances. After a night out on the town, Dazzler, Pixie, and Northstar returned to Graymalkin Industries. They discovered Cyclops sleeping on the couch in the recreation room. In the dark of the room, Northstar asked him if he & Emma had had a fight, but Cyclops doesn't answer. Dazzler used her abilities to shed some light on the subject and the trio gets a good peep show, since Cyke is buck naked. He quickly covers up, and as he storms out of the room, he catches a whiff of alcohol on Pixie's breath. She realized what had happened and teleports away. As Cyke reprimanded the two adults, he was suddenly hit with a psychic message from Emma.

She attempted to alert them to an attack from the Sisterhood of Mutants, but was subdued by Lady Mastermind. Just then, Chimera and Martinique Jason teleport into the rec room and a battle commences. The three X-Men took the duo out, and Dazzler was able to join Emma, Karma, and Storm in their efforts to subdue the other Sisterhood members. Psylocke meanwhile had been returned to her British body, and was under Madelyne Pryor's control. Psylocke and Dazzler duked it out, and Psylocke quickly gained the upper hand. Just in time, Dazzler absorbed all of the sound from nearby San Francisco and blasted the beam of light right into Psylocke's face, releasing her from Pryor's telepathic clutches and restoring her to her Asian body.

Dazzler was also shown as part of the team that took on the Dark X-Men. Also, she assisted in the battle between the X-Men and Norman Osborn and his Thunderbolts.

Necrosha

As her stay on Utopia continued, Dazzler was shown alongside Psylocke fighting Selene's army of resurrected mutants. Dazzler also discovered that her half-sister, Lois London (A.K.A. Mortis) was one of Selene's top generals. Lois' fragile mind was being manipulated by Selene who combined her talents with Lois' already existing inferiority complex, resulted in her unbridled hatred toward her half-sister. Dazzler tried to convince her to stop fighting for Selene, but to no avail. When Selene was finally defeated Lois teleported to an unknown destination with Blink.

Soon though, Lois contacted Dazzler and set up several meetings to discuss a variety of topics. Dazzler was hesitant, and rightly so, Lois missed all but one of them. The one meeting she did attend resulted in Dazzler being drugged and having quite the rude awakening in Murderworld. Lois concocted a scheme with Arcade to use his maniacal machinations to end Dazzler's life. While in Arcade's "fun," house, Dazzler fought against artificially synthesized versions of some of her worst former nemeses. (including her one time boss, Galactus) Dazzler was able to defeat every single one, pushing her powers to extents she'd never reached before. Her victory, however complete, did not last long. Klaw appeared (despite being "killed," by Dazzler years ago) and explained how he'd heard Lois' cries of hatred against Dazzler and opted to join forces with Lois in her attempt to destroy her half-sister. Dazzler learned that Klaw reconstituted himself independent of her power, and was now able to resist it. The ensuing battle (though quite exhaustive for Dazzler) resulted in Klaw fleeing for his life. Subsequently she defeats Lois and brings her to Utopia to be treated for the damage Selene had done. Cyclops initially denied Lois residence on the island, but with some harsh words from Dazzler concerning other reformed villains (particularly Emma), he decided to let Lois stay. He refused however, to allow Emma to help in her recovery, but Psylocke agrees to help mend Lois' broken mind.

Second Coming

Shortly thereafter Dazzler teamed up with Cyclops once again to enter Limbo and retrieve Magik from her imprisonment therein. Upon entering the alternate dimension, the team (consisting of Cannonball, Dazzler, Gambit, Trance, Pixie, Anole, and Northstar) is attacked by hordes of demons and forced to split up. She ended up alone and seemed poised to lose the fight, but is saved by Northstar in the nick of time. He and Dazzler meet Gambit, who had unfortunately (and indeed, untimely) reverted to his Death persona. He then attacked Northstar, who was able to evade his cards. As he avoided the attack, it donned on him that he wasn't the intended target, and Dazzler is hit. The blow transformed her into a state similar to Gambit's. Dazzler, (having been completely consumed by the concept of survival of the fittest) joined Gambit's ranks to go after the other X-Men in Limbo and infect them as well.Northstar soon found himself under the Death spell and the trio set off to battle Cannonball and Anole and recapture Illyana. As they approached Illyana, they encountered Pixie and N'Astirh, whose attempt to convince Pixie to kill Illyana had gone unheeded.

The three infected X-Men began fighting N'Astirh, and Dazzler burned a hole through one of his wings. Realizing N'astirh was less of a threat than the twisted trio, Pixie join forces with him to defeat them. She and N'Astirh are soon at their wits end and loss seemed imminent. Just then, Cannonball arrived with Anole and they took out Northstar without breaking a sweat. Gambit then sent Dazzler after Pixie. As Dazzler approached her, Pixie tried to reach the true Dazzler, reminding her that they'd been friends. Dazzler ignored this and prepared to attack. Luckily, Anole took her out with a strong deck to the face. Pixie was then able to release Illyana and together they stab Gambit with their Soulswords. The interference this magic created allows Gambit's real personality to defeat the demons controlling him. As Gambit was released from Death's harsh persona, Dazzler and Northstar returned to normal. With Illyana saved and Limbo back under her control the team safely teleported (with Pixie's help) back to Utopia.

Curse of the Mutants

Soon, Dazzler found herself part of an away team sent to a vampire populated island to retrieve Dracula's corpse in order to resurrect it. The mission was ultimately a failure, since her UV light producing powers prove ineffective against the vampires. Turns out they were equipped with special light bending medallions. She only makes it out alive with the help of her good friend, Northstar. Emma (who was also part of the team) scolded Dazzler saying she was completely useless in the fight, apart from giving her tan lines. They attacked a second time, again Northstar came to her aid removing the medallions so Dazzler was able to defeat a large group of vampires with relative ease.

After this, Dazzler investigated a series of vampire murders near the nightclub scene. After visiting a certain club, Alison's search for vampires yielded no results. The only thing she did find was a man who hit on her. In order to avoid any further come-ons, Dazzler left, but the man wouldn't take a hint. Dazzler turned on him, screaming at him to leave her alone. All of a sudden, he was attacked by a vampire. Dazzler fried him, but the vampire escaped. She followed the vampire on her motorbike, to his hideout. She staked out the joint, learning he was part of a gang of vampires that didn't feed on human blood. The vampire was trying to get the guy who'd hit on her, to leave her alone. This saddened Dazzler and made her reconsider her attitude to vampires.

Her career in Utopia went on. Fellow residents, Frenzy and Nekra Sinclair, decided to take a different tack and turn to villainy. They formed an alliance and committed all sorts of crimes unbeknownst to Cyke and Emma. They went to San Francisco to burn down a museum and endanger civilians. Dazzler and Northstar teamed up again to stop them. They told the two renegades that they can't just do whatever they want and that they knew the two women were better than this. These admonitions fell on deaf ears and a two-on-two fight broke out. At first, Frenzy had the upper hand on Dazzler, but she took Frenzy down using a powerful energy blast. The two defeat the would-be villainesses right in front of a crowd of cheering civilians. Which only further boosted the popularity of the two X-Men.

Quarantine

Shortly after the event known as the Second Coming, the inhabitants on Utopia came down with a nasty disease. During this time the mutants that weren't on the island were charged with carrying out the duties of the X-Men, while all the mutants on Utopia battled the virus. The uninfected mutants were only Storm and Archangel , with Pixie, Dazzler, and Northstar having been at one of Dazz's concerts when the virus hit the island. The disease turned out to be a mutant-only flu that robbed them of their powers, in addition to making them extremely sick. The un-quarantined X-Men are left to defend San Francisco as well as finding whomever had created the virus. The team first encountered a biologically engineered version of the original 5 X-Men (Cyclops, Beast, Iceman, Archangel, and Jean Grey) that Lobe had engineered from a serum of the mutant genome with the Sublime Corporation's assistance. Lobe had also been outed as the creator of the mutant flu, and thus revealed plans to patent all known mutations and market them to the public.

He had success with the more wealthy inhabitants of San Francisco during a party at the Triumph Hill Ballroom. The five untainted mutants battled his minions, including: Bouncing Betty, Verre, Burst, and Thug. The battle ended well for the small team, until Lobe released the serum to the entire crowd of people, granting the guests the varied powers of all the mutants on Earth. Again the battle starts in their favor, until the sheer number of mutates created overwhelmed them. A deathly ill and depowered team of X-Men from Utopia alights on the mainland to assist Storm's team. As the battle raged on, most of the transformed humans believed themselves superior, seeing that the X-Men were powerless. However, Lobe and the other mutates from the party became infected. Cyclops then forced Lobe to release the antidote leaving the humans with the message that being a mutant means being persecuted, hunted, and manipulated.

Fear Itself

In her latest adventure, she is thrown into a battle with the Unstoppable Juggernaut who had been granted even more tremendous power by the Midgard Serpent. The X-Men engaged him on his way to San Fran, and Dazzler is among one of the first to attack him, though the whole team (Storm, Dazzler, Archangel, and Cannonball) was unable to phase him. Then Cyclops had a lot of the X-Men attack in combos. Cyclops has Pixie teleport Siryn in from X-Factor and combined her supersonic scream with Dazzler's sound transducing power in order to create extremely intense laser beams, This plan, though brilliant, proved ineffective.

Powers

Dazzler is a mutant with the ability to transduce sound into light. She can use any source of sound for this (with the exception of her own voice unless it is redirected to her via speakers). She stores this energy until she is willing and/or able to release it. She can use this light in a variety of ways. Some of the abilities Dazzler has displayed include:

• Blinding light

• Solid photon blasts (lasers)

• Holograms (both solid and intangible)

• "Light fog" which refracts light to hide people and/or objects from view

• Flight

• Force Fields (offensive and defensive)

• Therapeutic Light to calm and increase blood circulation of allies

• Ultra-Violet radiation blasts

Dazzler has also learned to release the stored sound inside her in its original form for a supersonic blast.

There is no limit to the amount of sound that she can absorb and release as light.

Alison is an accomplished skater, dancer, actress, and is well trained in hand-to-hand combat. She is incredibly agile, especially while skating.

Alison is also an incredibly gifted singer, once being told by Odin that she had the most beautiful voice he had ever heard.

Skills

Alison Blaire is a well known performer and displayed great performing skills especially in singing, dancing and acting. She is also an athlete and a great roller skater. Due to efficient trainings during her X-Men days, she also had become a good hand to hand combatant.

Equipment

Originally, Dazz carried a radio with her to provide her with an available source of sound. After joining the X-Men, Professor X provided her with a special suit that could absorb and store sound energy. She has since learned to do this without the suit.

Alison also occasionally uses magnetic roller skates that attach to her boots.

Alternate Realities

Earth-1610 Ultimates Universe

In the Ultimate Universe Dazzler was a singer in a punk band called Dazzler. The X-Men approached her suggesting she join them, but she refused since the X-Men could not give her a recording contract that she required. Emma Frost was then the one to persuade her, and promised her a recording contract which led to her joining the Academy of Tomorrow. After proving herself against the Sentinels, Dazzler was sent to join the X-Men. Unlike the other students, she was not aware of the Institute's rules and regulations. To focus on her X-Men membership, Professor X mentally suggested to her to shut down the Dazzler band. When half of the team was sent on a mission regarding Longshot, she created a cabal without the knowledge of Xavier. Angel was abducted but was able to be saved, though Longshot was proven guilty of murder and escaped. Back at the Institute, they were confronted by Professor X. Fearing that Dazzler would be expelled, Angel said that he was the one who'd formed the secret team. He was expelled, but in return for his selflessness, Dazzler rewarded him with a kiss and the two became romantically involved with each other.

When Lady Deathstrike put her into a coma, Nightcrawler often visited her and developed a bit of an obsession with the singer. He even went so far as to kidnap Dazzler, and the X-Men rescued her. She told them she didn't believe that Kurt would harm her which led to her quitting the team. The Ultimate version of Dazzler died in the flood caused by Magneto.

Earth-295 Age of Apocalypse

Dazzler became a popular performer after Apocalypse's first strike against America. Her father paid a woman to take her to a more secure location. Unknowingly, the woman was Mystique in disguise. Mystique then discovered that Dazzler's mutation and brought her to Magneto where she became an X-Man. While the X-Men were out on a mission, Nemesis attacked, necessitating Scarlet Witch to sacrifice herself for the good of the team. Dazzler admired Wanda for her selflessness and continued her membership with the X-Men. Later she developed a romantic relationship with Exodus. He went AWOL in the subsequent mission and Dazzler waited for his reappearance, believing that he was still alive. As she waited, she continued serving as an X-Man and helps to rebuild the world.

Earth-58163 House of M

In this reality, Dazz's father embraced her musical talents, enhancing her abilities with lessons. She then discovered she was a mutant and became a popular sensation worldwide, which made her a very in-demand performer. However, her stardom did not last long and she faded from the public eye. During her return, she hosted her own talk show entitled 'Alison.' Her show featured all sorts of public figures such as superhumans, celebrities, and even politicians. It became a worldwide hit. Storm then used her guest appearance on the show to say that she did not agree with Magneto's attempt on handling the mutant affair.

Earth-41001 The End

Dazzler was among those of the X-Men who joined forces with the Shi'ar to fight Cassandra Nova who had been consumed by the Phoenix. Dazzler blasted a light beam through Cassandra's head. This was ultimately ineffective on Nova, even with Storm, Iceman and Aliyah following suit. Cassandra was able to fight back and defeated the four X-Men.

Earth-2149 Marvel Zombiverse

Dazzler was about to be raped and eaten by a zombified Winter Soldier. Ash saved her life, and befriended Dazzler easily falling in love with her looks. She joined him in his search for the Necronomicon book, believing that it may somehow terminate the zombie race.

Ash then discovered the aforementioned book and realized that it was useless against the zombies. He then met an imprisoned Enchantress and freed her. He then met with Dazzler again. Unexpectedly, Enchantress was infected, having been attacked from behind. Dazzler was able to defeat her with her powers but her hand was bitten. Fearing that it would probably cause Dazzler to become a zombie, Doctor Doom blasted her to death.

The Necronomicon then resurrected her as a zombie. She joined a zombie horde that attacked the survivors which Magneto had been protecting.

Earth-721- Earth A

Earth-9997- Earth X

On Earth X, every human being on Earth was granted special powers. The Terrigen Mists were released into Earth's atmosphere and every single human on the planet was granted unique gifts. Because of this, Dazzler (along with every other mutant was not treated as an outcast race) became free to pursue her career in music. However, Dazzler found that the audience's interest in music had faded and fewer people began attending her concerts. Her last performance ended in a disaster when Mephisto cruelly ripped out her heart to demonstrate that Death itself had been destroyed. Like many other sick people, Dazzler suffered from mortal pain but was unable to die. When Jude was revived, it is presumed (though unconfirmed) that Dazzler was finally granted the gift of death.

She then went back to Galactus and asked him to send her to an alternate, inhabited planet.

Earth-9112 Phoenix Did Not Die and Rise Again

As this story unfolded, Dazzler was a member of the X-Men that were assigned to save Jean Grey from Magneto. They were shocked to see Jean Grey alive, because they knew her to have died after the Secret Wars. During the events that led to Mutant Registration Act, they had to fight the Sentinels. Dazzler was able to defeat Master Mold and his Sentinels with the help of the other X-Men.
