HISTORY: The months leading up to Apocalypse’s first strike against America were the happiest of young Allison Blair’s life. She had released her first album and had become a pop sensation. During Apocalypse’s first strike, Allison’s father paid to have her taken to a safe location. He did not realize the woman he paid to take his daughter out of the country was actually the shape-shifting Mystique in disguise. Mystique intended to dump her human cargo in some small backwoods town until she discovered Allison was actually a mutant with the ability to transform sound into light. Mystique delivered Alison to Magneto and she became part of his new crop of mutants training to become X-Men.

While Magneto and the rest of the X-Men were off on a mission, Nemsis came to the X-Men headquarters in an attempt to destroy all that Magneto had built. The Scarlet Witch gave her life to prevent Nemesis from harming any of the younger mutants in her care. Witnessing the sacrifice of the Scarlet Witch, Allison decided to focus completely on becoming an X-Man and honoring the memory of Wanda Maximoff.

Before the final battle to defeat Apocalypse, Dazzler, accompanying an X-Men team led by Quicksilver, helped mutant-hunting Sentinels evacuate humans across the ocean to Europe. The team’s mission was a success, despite being attacked by a small group of Apocalypse’s elite shock troops, and they returned to the X-Men’s Westchester base. Months later, Dazzler’s boyfriend and fellow X-Man, Exodus was sent on a secret mission along with his fellow X-Men, Wild Child, Iceman, and Morph. They have not been heard from since. Dazzler has tried to move on with her life but she secretly waits for Exodus’ return, hoping he is somehow still alive.
