How Dazzler Got Her Groove Back

[ohsnapulon5000]

Ali Blaire gets a lot of guff from the core X-men, Psylocke barring (though I doubt she's even actually listened to a full Dazzler LP), simply because she chose to have a life outside of the X-Men.

Recently, obviously incensed by the the X-Men's recent preference for fellow student Hisako Ichiki, Pixie in a bid to come off as "one of the gang" has joined in the passive Dazzler bashing. Grating as it is to read, It does bring up (I'm assuming Gillen will make it a sub arc out of sooner or later) the issue of Ali being "out of touch".

Maybe she is. Classic Dazz was daring, bold, in your face. She took her four piece band and played Disco at a gutter punk club, ya'll. She used to be the mutant poster child of NYC cool. Perhaps one too many bad relationships took it out of her? The impending threat of mutant oblivion broke her stride? Her miscarriage? Who knows.

If Terry Mcmillan wrote the X-Books we'd have Ali "getting in touch" with a younger X-Man. Should she? If so, Who?


What do you think it would take to get her back in touch with her "cool" again?

No one wants that hag.

[Prodigy55]

ugh shes so out of touch. she was hella authentic when she was doing trance shows in seedy underground clubs. she needs to reinvent herself and not as some fading pop JOKE.

Colossus.

They're classically pretty together.

Chamber. Why?

1) He has a thing for blondes; see Husk and Sugar Kane.

2) He's dated a pop-star; Sugar Kane.

3) Walking power boost.

4) He doesn't need rapegaze to get in a woman's bed.



5) Deep down, he's a musical guy.

Oh damn, you're right.

[nontoxic]

Chamber would definitely be cool.

I've always thought this would make an interesting pairing. He's so analytical and brooding but you can tell he really just wants to show off as much as any of the other big guns. I feel like Ali could help bring that out of him and he could help her get back in touch with the artist she used to be before record labels and industry bullsh*t forced her material in the direction it started going.
For this reason I also think Colossus would make an excellent choice.

NuExcalibur didn't paint the best picture of Ali from a moral standpoint but I actually liked her touring solo overseas, becoming a GABBER. It was fun.

[Lightengale]

Lovely. Base a woman's worth on what man she makes sexy time with.

EDIT: Yes, I did forget where I was.

If Terry McMillan is writing the book? First off *shudder* Second, Dazz would need a closet case, so... Iceman?

woah. don't get your feathers in a ruffle, Lightengale. I would never wish Terry Mcmillan on any X-book (the movie was on Starz, I was bored.)

Also I am in no way equating her worth to her "sexy time". She's not Emma. I'm just making the supposition that she's been solo in more than one way, if you know what I mean, for a while now. Every X-man seems to gain perspective from their relationships with other X-men. I would like to see what a youthful one would do for Ali.

[Apathy Lad]

Isn't Chamber in his late teens? And Dazzler is, like, 35? I hope that's some good cake, Jono.

He has to be at least in his early 20s by now.

[Prodigy55]

Chamber is like 20 and Dazzler is like 45.

[ohsnapulon5000]

Chamber is like 20 and Dazzler is like 45.

It's very Ashton and Demi.

[Havok83]

Other. I wouldnt mind her with Elixir
