Uncanny X-Men #260

« Star 90 »: Alison shrugs off Freddie’s push to release Dazzler: The Movie, but a sniper attack from Eric Beale while she’s surfing convinces her to draw him out by getting it made. In New York, Peter comes to the mysterious woman’s aid against a masked « X-Men » gang, but she flees again before Jenny can introduce them. Alison and Freddie strike a deal with a studio as chance repeatedly foils Beale’s attacks. On Kírinos, Forge and Banshee’s flight plans change after spotting Alison in a magazine, sparing them from a sabotaged plane that kills their pilot. Later, Beale finally captures Alison to kill her, but her calming light powers overwhelm his drug-fueled rage, and she finds new purpose in bringing people joy.
