Dazzler: X-Men's Weirdest Origin Story Explained - Behind the Panel | SYFY WIRE

She sings. She dances. She kicks ass.

Some characters are ahead of their time. Dazzler was always a step behind. With her jumpsuits and roller skates, Alison Blaire was outdated the moment she made her comics debut. But so what? That didn’t stop fans from loving her anyway (including Behind the Panel host, Mike Avila). During her 40 year history she’s been cancelled, killed (more than once), been sent into deep space by Galactus, joined the X-Men, quit the X-Men, become a comics industry punchline and even made her long-awaited film debut in Dark Phoenix - and didn’t get a word of dialogue. All these years later and she’s still not getting the respect she deserves. Let’s go Behind the Panel on DAZZLER.

Featuring interviews with…

John Romita JR - Artist, Uncanny X-Men
Tom Defalco - Writer, Dazzler
Chris Claremont - Writer, Uncanny X-Men
Alice Donenfeld - Former Marvel VP
Ralph Macchio - Editor, Dazzler
Danny Fingeroth - Writer, Dazzler
Ann Nocenti - Writer, Beauty and the Beast
