"You could never know what it's like..." The fall and rise of Alison Blaire - a.k.a. Dazzler - and the super hero who loved her! Marvel's most musical mutant hits the big time when she's slated to star in a major motion picture, but even tell-all Hollywood is taken aback when her mutant powers are revealed to the world in a lightshow seen from space. Fleeing the hatred and heartbreak, she reaches the Gladiators - fellow mutants and fighters for pay, no audience too big! Their arena is a place of blood, sweat and fear - and it offers everything she's lost: safety, camaraderie, a venue for performance and an audience's love. She and her comrades-in-arms learn to improve their powers and themselves - unaware they're being drugged, mesmerized and readied for war by a would-be conqueror! Enter Hank McCoy - X-Man, Avenger, Defender...the Beast! But he's unsure of himself among mutants who seek only the company of their own kind - whether in Flynn's arena or at the home for wayward heroes dubbed Heartbreak Hotel. Beast tries to rescue Dazzler from her new home - but she's torn between love for him and love of an audience, and the arena sets the couple against each other in a bitter battle. It all comes down to two against an army - and no matter who wins, Doom awaits them!
