Marvel Comics/Dazzler

**Dazzler** (Alison "Ali" Blaire) is a mutant from *Marvel Comics*.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

**Energy Conversion:** Dazzler has the ability to transduce sonic vibrations which reach her body into various types of light. This ability seems to operate over a great range of frequencies, including the audible spectrum and a great variation of sound pressure levels regardless of the complexity, dissonance, or randomness of the sound. For example, a car crash and a symphonic passage of equal duration will both produce usable acoustic vibrations. Dazzler, however, does prefer the sound of music, particularly that which is rhythmically sustained. Not only is this music more pleasant to her ears, but the steady beat of popular music provides a more constant source of sound to convert. She cannot utilize any sounds produced by her own body.

* **Sonic Blasts:** She can release the absorbed sound in a single concussive burst.
* **Echolocation:** Dazzler can use her conversion ability to act as a crude form of echolocation. After singing through an amplifier for a minute, she has displayed the ability to see humanoid shapes through a brick wall.
* **Sonic Resistance:** Her ability to transduce sound protects her from being deafened by loud noises.

**Light Manipulation:** Dazzler possesses a body-wide energy field that controls the energy levels of the outer electron shells of her body in such a way so as to cause the cascaded release of photons. Left undirected, Dazzler's light will radiate from her body in all directions, producing regular flashes of white light. By conscious control over the light she produces, she can control its direction, color, intensity, duration, and shape.

She can manipulate her light in a variety of ways, including producing a bright glow to illuminate a dark area, a pulsating strobe-like effect, a fog-like mist that obscures her environment, and omnidirectional waves of ultraviolet light that can damage matter.

* **Laser Generation:** By concentrating, Dazzler can generate a coherent beam of light, approximating a laser beam, with which she can cut through virtually anything.
* **Energy Blasts:** She can generate blasts of concussive light.
* **Blindness Inducement:** She can induce temporary blindness in others by producing a flash of light on the order of several thousand watts.
* **Equilibrium Disruption:** She can severely upset another person's equilibrium by releasing a chaotic cascade of sparkling lights and colors.
* **Hologram Manipulation:** With effort, she can create holograms of human beings and objects.
* **Energy Propulsion:** She can gain vertical altitude by directing a quick column fo light beneath her.
* **Force Field Generation:** Dazzler can create a destructive shield of light around herself with laser light that vaporizes small projectiles.
* **Light Resistance:** Her body, namely her eyes, shields itself from any injurious effects of her light-based powers and against those of bright lights in general.

**Enhanced Hearing:** She has highly developed ears that enable her to detect sounds that others cannot register.

**Genetic Immunity:** She has been shown to be immune to powers of her half-sister Mortis, which ordinarily kills living beings instantly.
