Real Name: Alison Blaire Recently, Dazzler reappeared on Earth, fleeing from X-baby versions of Apocalypse and his AOA henchmen, who had taken over the Mojoverse. Ali didn't even know what happened to Longshot, but she joined Phoenix's mission to rescue Professor X from Magneto. In the first salvo of the battle against Magnus, Dazzler unleashed a huge laser blast, which Magneto bent back at her, apparently disintegrating her. However, this was only an illusion created by Phoenix, allowing Ali to free Xavier and take his place by projecting a holographic image of him around herself. Following the X-Men's return to the Mansion, Ali left. Whether and how she returned to Mojoworld is unknown.
Following M-Day, Alison retained her powers, but anti-mutant bias conditions forced her to play low-rent clubs in London to make a living. She had dyed her hair pink, but tended to wear her old disco costume and a wig when onstage. After one such performance, she witnessed an ersatz Archangel attacking a civilian and got involved in a melee with dark-side X-Men, ending in her heart being stopped by the evil Jean Grey. Fortunately, Pete Wisdom had called upon Captain Britain and five visiting X-Men, and Marvel Girl III and Shadowcat were able to save Ali's life. She was taken to a hospital and attacked again, but managed to help in the battle before being bumped out a window by Juggernaut. While falling, Dazzler used her photon bursts to propel herself upwards, enabling her to fly. She was then captured by the evil X-Men, but rescued by Captain Britain and the others. Together they re-formed Excalibur and fought the Warwolves, Albion and Lionheart and saved England from the anti-technology spell cast by Albion and his Sword Corps. During these missions Dazzler appeared to die and return a number of times, and no one as yet knew why.
Then, Dazzler met Longshot again when Excalibur brought a wounded Captain Britain to the Crystal Palace, but it was as if he didn't know her, throwing Dazzler off balance, especially since she had just been about to hook up with Pete Wisdom. However, after being attacked by Merlyn's assassin Rougemort, Longshot remembered more about his past with Dazzler, and after the day was won, they both returned to Earth with Excalibur.
