Lights, camera, mind control!

Dazzler sacrificed herself with the rest of the X-men, but she finally returned from the Siege Perilous as... well, Alison Blaire... also known as the Dazzler.

This didn't exactly help her get rid of old enemies, as Uncanny X-men # 260 proved. Alison was assaulted by Eric Beale, a Hollywood producer who took a chance on her and invested in Dazzler: The Movie. But once it came public knowledge Dazzler was a mutant, the movie tanked... which bankrupted Beale. Luckily, he took the news lightly...


He finally got his chance in this issue, tracking Allison down and knocking her out, ready for some payback. And here's where Claremont's supposed fetish really shows.

Suppose you are so mad with a person you're ready to commit murder... Hey, it happens... But, after you've knocked her out, would you go to the trouble of dressing her in the exact same outfit she wore when she inadvertently hurt you...

And would you cover her head with a tight bag? It just screams SM fetishist... Especially the end of the issue where Dazzler manages to use her light powers to... ow read it yourself...she uses light to calm him down and he drops to the floor, crying and worshipping her bound and gagged female form...

...Hey kids, comics!
