They weren't on the best of terms when Dazzler first joined the X-Men, since rogue had tried to kill her before.

Rogue was with the Brotherhood (under the influence of Mystique) at the time. It was awhile back.

Ok. I didnt even know that. Thnx. Does anyone know what issue's that heppend in?

This was 80's X-Men, when they were stationed in Australia. Uncanny X-Men 230+-ish

No problem. This cover actually does a pretty good job at speaking for itself and why Dazzler harbored resentment towards Rogue. (though of course Rogue and Dazzler issues where they forgave each other and all that were really awesome - which is good, because I am a fan of both characters lol) ((also warning, Rogue looks really old))

Yeah, whenever you see the X-Men hinting ar Rogue's villainous past, it isn't just because she stole part of Carol Danvers' psyche ;)  But to be fair, being a Dazzler-villain doesn't exactly get her on America's Most Wanted list ;)

So they didn't trust each other when they were forced to work together as X-Men... and then along came Longshot!  That's when the 'distrust' upgraded to 'romantic rivalry' ;)

But to be fair, being a Dazzler-villain doesn't exactly get her on America's Most Wanted list ;)

Yes. Rogue had been dispatched to kill Dazzler on at least two occasions, during the godawful Dazzler miniseries from waaaay back in the day.

@SC: why did rogue look so old back in her first appearances and in the pic u posted of rogue and dazzler and the walnut stealing dreadful,what a sin

Dazzler hated Rogue because it stuck to Longshot

It's actually pretty good :) I'm halfway through, and even though she is a rock star sort of, she has yet to complete a concert, they always get interrupted by Hulk, The Enchantress or Dr Doom and so on,

I need more of this rivalry.
