Mostly, Ali’s just out to have a good time. But, she does have a more subdued, serious, and responsible side. Early in her pop career, she was offered a chance to join the X-Men, but she didn’t want to out herself; so she passed on the chance and turned down or ignored many opportunities to speak out on Mutant Rights. It’s a part of her life that she regrets and now thinks she could have made a difference.<br/><br/><br/><strong>POWERS</strong><br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Sonic Conversion</span>: Alison can absorb sonic energy and convert it into light energy. The nature and source of the sound is unimportant; the louder and longer it si, the more light energy she can put out. She can also store this energy and then ‘play it back’, releasing the sonic energy in one burst.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Light Projection</span>: Alison can also release the sonic energy she converts into various forms and effects of light. At the basic level, when not consciously preventing it, Alison’s body radiates a random, pulsating glow of light, as various sounds are encountered and converted. The louder the sound, the more brilliant the pulse/glow. Consciously, Alison can create multiple light effects<br/><em>Blinding Flashes</em><br/><em>Lasers</em>: Capable of cutting through concrete and armor plate steel alloys<br/><em>Photon Blasts</em>: Concussive blasts of ‘solid’ light, capable of breaking through advanced metals like Vibranium alloys or denting (not destroying) adamantium alloys<br/><em>Illumination</em>: surround her body in a field of light equivalent to a halogen spotlight<br/><em>Strobes</em>: pulsating strobe effects<br/><em>Dazzle</em>: Bright, pulsating and random lights and colors that can disrupt a viewer’s equilibrium<br/><em>Holograms</em>: Realistic 3-Dimensional projected images of human-sized beings and objects<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Sonic Immunity</span>: Alison is immune to sonic-based attacks and cannot be deafened by a sonic attack.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Light Immunity</span>: Alison is immune to photonic-based attacks, in energy or solid forms. She cannot be blinded by light attacks.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Superhuman Hearing</span>: Alison can hear into the ultra-sonic and infra-sonic ranges, including being able to hear radio waves<br/><br/><br/><strong>ADVANTAGES</strong>:<br/>Singer<br/>Almost-Lawyer<br/>Dancer<br/>Roller Skater<br/>Costume: Contains specialized micro-recording & playback circuits that Alison can use for her powers (i.e. a built-in iPod)<br/>Fame<br/><br/><br/><strong>DISADVANTAGES</strong>:<br/>Public ID<br/>Known Mutant<br/><br/><strong>HISTORY</strong>:<br/>Alison Blaire was born into wealth and privilege, the only child of Judge Carter Blaire. Carter came from old money on Long Island and quickly rose to prominence as a Federal Court Judge in Manhattan. Alison’s mother, Katherine was a much more free spirit than her stoic and status-quo husband, and left shortly after Alison’s birth to pursue a singing career. Carter raised Alison with a firm hand, determined that his daughter would follow in his footsteps. But, Alison had a talent for singing and a desire to be a performer. And her mutant powers only increased that talent. With the help of her grandmother, Alison took singing and dancing lessons after school; she hid her mutant nature from everyone, as ‘mutant hysteria’ was starting to grow across the country. She also was a top student, and got into the Pre-Law program of ESU right out of High School. Alison graduated Magna Cum Laude in her class, but only to prove to her father that she could. The day after graduation, Alison informed him that she was going to pursue a career as a singer, rather than a lawyer.<br/><br/>Alison made a big splash in the club scene of New York, calling herself ‘Dazzler’, surviving on a variety of jobs alongside her club gigs. Her mutant powers created light shows during her performances that observers credited to specialized visual lighting effects. At one point, she was approached by Charles Xavier, after Cerebro had detected her powers, and offered a chance to join the X-Men. Alison refused, saying that the mutant cause was no concern of hers; she was going to be a star.<br/><br/>Alison moved out to Los Angeles on a record deal that made her the new Madonna; even if Madonna was still in heavy rotation on the radio at the time. Alison had fame, fortune, success...and it all came crashing down around her. She was stalked by an obsessed fan, and she got a restraining order against him. He provided video evidence to the tabloids that Alison was a mutant; the fact that the video showed her using her powers to prevent him from attacking her, notwithstanding. Suddenly, her records dropped off the charts and were no longer being sold in major stores. Parents groups protested her, claiming she was indoctrinating children with her mutant sonic and light powers. She attracted Federal attention and became the poster child for anti-mutant propaganda.<br/><br/>Depressed, Alison returned to Long Island, only to find a wide rift between herself and her father that couldn’t seem to be overcome by either of them. In the end, she went to the Xavier School in secret, admitting to Charles Xavier that she had been wrong those years before. The Mutant cause was her concern, and she was ready to join the X-Men, if they’d still have her.<br/><br/><strong>OTHER NOTES</strong>:<br/><br/>Face claim:  Indiana Evans<br/><br/><div style="text-align: right;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 24pt;">Played By: Red Huntress</span></div>
