Where the hell is Dazzler?
Does anyone know if she is gonna be in the Astonishing mini?  Does anyone
care?  I think we (that do) need to make it clear we want her back...she
would be great in the team...not any other "shooters" other than Storms
elec. bolts.  Her stint in the MoJo verse is done, bring her back!!!

  She's currently in limbo.  As far as I'm concerned, that's the
same as being on extended vacation from the insanity that's cur-
rently going on in the core X-books...

  The last I saw, Mark Waid had her and the X-babies guest-star in
an issue of Adjectiveless prior to the "Onslaught" mess.  It hinted
strongly that she was staying in the Mojoverse for their sake, and
that she was trying to find Longshot and baby Shatterstar.  This
means that we won't be seeing her back on Earth for some time, or
at least until a new editor or creative team who also cares about
her comes along to free her from that exile.

Actually I think it was strongly hinted at that she has lost the baby, as in
didn't have it..

thanks, though.

All we know for certain is that she was no longer pregnant and wasn't all
excited about the birth of her baby.  There are other explanations
especially when dealing with a culture like the one in the Mojoverse.

I have it on good money that Dazzler is currently in North Hollywood,
California, strung out on a binge of angel dust, Twizzlers and
cherry-flavored antacid, after a failed attempt to restart her now-doomed
career with a change in music stylings.  Her Marilyn Manson-esque single
"My Fucking Mutant Chromosomes", while lauded by certain critics (who,
incidentally, heretofore only seemed to enjoy Mother's Apple and Alfred E.
Neuman's "It's A Gas"), tanked almost immediately.  This came as a great
shock to Alison (hence the abuse of drugs, candy and over-the-counter
remedies), whose last previous creative effort involved making Longshot
believeable as a TV star.  Her sponsoring him as Bronson Pinchot's even
weirder cousin in a "Perfect Strangers" spinoff, however, was equally
unsuccessful.  (Why do you *think* we haven't heard from ol' Bronson
lately?)  After that fiasco, Longshot left Alison for a clone of Roseanne,
claiming it had the lovable charm of Mojo's stepdaughter.  Alison took it
rather hard, jumping into the arms of both Bob Uecker *and* Irving
Forbush...who wanted nothing to do with her.  Distraught and noticing a bit
of extra poundage in her ass [1], she descended into a vicious spiral of
Sunset Boulevard hookers and drugs.  And that's my story, and I'm stickin'
to it.

[1] Before you jump on me for this, you should see *my* ass.  (Ewww....)

She may have had the baby and it was kidnapped by Mojo and is now being
raised as a slave acting upon the will of the newest Mojo.

Dazzler is ready for a comeback.  Ditch the disco and give her a makeover in
to a more ethereal electronica musician.  Or she could become a more earthy
Lilith Fair type:  I envision a acoustic guitar/ piano playing toned down
Allison(think Sarah McLachlan/Tori Amos/Jewel)  wearing a mirrorball pendant
neclace as a reference to her previous incarnation.  No one should have to
be left in Mojoverse Limbo, especially since her hubby has deserted her
there (Longshot one-shot from a while ago).

No, but like we said earlier in this thread, there are other ways to explain
what happened considering how this all takes place in the Mojoverse where
nobody actually gets pregnant, kids are born in fertilization chambers,
people are trained from birth to fight for Mojo, and Spiral can do the kinda
stuff she can do.  All we know for sure is that she wasn't pregnant anymore
and wasn't telling the world about her baby.

news:7lgtup$1pu$1@autumn.news.rcn.net...

Did they ever explain her abortion/miscarriage at all?

Mark Waid suggested Alison was no longer pregnant with the assumption that
the baby had been lost back in IIRC X-MEN #48. However: in X-MEN #10, the
last time we saw them, Dazzler says something about Longshot's desire to
name the baby "Shatterstar" which was probably an idea to have X-FORCE's
Shatterstar relate to Dazzler and Longshot; unfortuantely, I think Jeph
Loeb's story about Benjamin Russel was beginning by then and it had to be
dropped.

Dazzler then appeared in MARVEL FANFARE #4-5 (or was it #5-6) back in its
most recent 99 cents incarnation. The story was weak, but it featured her
and Longshot as rebels on the run. It's clear that the positioning of
Alison and Longshot as royalty by X-MEN #48 is gone.

Then Dazzler was seen in 1998's LONGSHOT. The one-shot was supposed to
lead into a mini-series and then possibly a series but it was dropped like
a hot potato. In that issue we see a flashback of Dazzler telling her
husband to be careful. No mention of their status in Mojoverse.

No.  I'm not sure an explanation is really called for; it's pretty
evident that she miscarried.  What's to explain?

Loeb didn't start writing X-Force for years afterwards.  According
to Fabian Nicieza's past comments, the comment in X-Men #10 suggesting
that Shatterstar was Longshot and Dazzler's child was never run past
the X-Force writers and was never their intention - hence his later
stories expressly establishing that Shatterstar was grown rather
than born, and revealing that his real name was Gaveedra-7 or
something like that.

I like the idea of a Lilith Fair type thing.  that would totally fit into
her woman angst/it's a bad man's world/miscarriage thing.
wasn't the scene...bobby beginning to ask her about the baby, Jean elbows
him and shuts him up?  total miscarriage implication.
anyway, bring her back!! I love Dazzler. she has great power
potential...remember in AoA her using her powers to make holograms?  tons
could be done w/ that alone, much less her strobe, lasers, etc....great
powers, great characterization..shes a total package ready to be
(re)unwrapped.
maybe Faerber could do something with her since he's the only writer
apparently posting/reading here.  a few issues in GenX? why not?  shes good
with xbabies why not xteens?

Alison needs to come back, I never understood why they wrote her out in the
first place. They spent so much time developing her as a character and then
they just drop her. It makes no sense. She's one of the most original
characters out there,
WE WANT THE DAZZLER!!!!!!!
