Not reading X-Men comics from roughly 2004 to 2017 means I almost completely skipped Jubilee’s vampire phase, save for the tail end of it in the Christina Strain/Amilcar Pinna Generation X series.

In the early to mid-1980s, Marvel very much saw Dazzler as her own thing. Originally planned as a multimedia IP tied to actress Bo Derek, those plans fizzled with the death of disco, but didn’t keep Alison Blaire from starring in her own comic book for 40-some issues before she was folded back into the…
