Real Name: UnknownIn their first public appearance, the New Mutants were attacked by Sentinels, and Dazzler did not even get to use her power, thanks to the X-Men's intervention. Following the attack and Beast's death, Dazzler and the rest of the mutants joined the Xavier student body, with the approval of General Fury. Dazzler tends to drink a lot and blow off her academics, and her powers are as yet untested in the field. She also maintains that her band is named Dazzler, and that's not her codename.
Ali didn't really seem to fit in with the rest of the X-Men, but when she saw footage of convicted murderer Longshot on a reality hunting show, she assumed he was framed and convinced Angel, Colossus and Nightcrawler to accompany her on an unauthorized rescue. When the mission became a fiasco and Angel was captured, and then Longshot turned out to have been guilty, Ali was about to be expelled, but Angel covered for her and convinced Xavier it was his idea. Ali was so turned on by his actions that she dragged him to her room.
Some time afterwards, Ali and Warren were out on the town when they heard that the X-Men were confronting the Ultimates over the incarceration of Polaris, both trying to stop Havok from freeing his girlfriend. Ali convinced Angel to join her in breaching the Triskelion, and they passed by Deathstrike's cell just as the power went off. Deathstrike discovered they were Storm's friends, and she impaled Ali on a finger talon. Angel managed to get Ali out to safety, but she was in a coma.
Because Angel was expelled and sent to the Academy of Tomorrow, he was unable to maintain his relationship with Ali, and instead, Kurt (Nightcrawler) became fixated on her, especially after finding out that his friend Colossus was gay. When Ali eventually woke up from her coma, Kurt was there, pining for her, but she didn't realize the depth of his feelings and brushed him off. Then Kurt convinced Ali that they had to escape the hospital, and he teleported her into a sealed cave, where he hoped she would stay until she came to love him. The X-Men found out about this, and confronted Kurt, eventually freeing Ali. Having had enough craziness in her life, she left the Mansion soon afterwards.
