For every Wonder Woman, there's a Storm prepared to electrocute her. 

For every Captain Marvel, there's a goddess-like Selene able to suck the spiritual viscera out of her. 

Emma Frost. Rogue. Psylocke. All great mutants for a solo movie. All ready to dash Ike Perlmutter's sexist confirmation bias. Movie studios can even walk the road less trodden and bring to the big screen a mutant relatively unknown, someone underutilized. Someone who was supposed to have a movie that for some reason was shelved. Someone perhaps like...Dazzler? 

As you may know, Dazzler a.k.a. Alison Blaire is Marvel's Madonna, the mutant Queen of Pop. (Incidentally, Madonna had her own comic book.) She was literally born for the concert stage. She is a walking light show, able to convert sonic vibrations into various forms of light, ranging from blinding strobes to lethal laser beams. 

Sired on the pages of The Uncanny X-Men, Dazzler was jointly conceived by Marvel and Casablanca Records with the ultimate goal of a movie tie-in, with no less than Bo Derek in the lead role. Marvel EIC Jim Shooter even proposed a treatment that cast Casablanca stablemates Cher and Donna Summer as the bickering Witch Queen and Queen of Fire. That film could have been the diva showdown for the ages.

Dazzler was nonetheless given her own series that lasted from 1981 through 1985. She did pop up for a one-shot in 2010, presumably at the height of the Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj mania.

Now the (pop) stars have aligned to bring a Dazzler movie closer to fruition. Think about it. Pop culture has never been more female-centric, with the likes of Ariana Grande, Beyoncé, Iggy Azalea, Rihanna, and Taylor Swift occupying the charts. 

It's not only in Billboard; it's also in the box office charts. Music-heavy movies like Frozen and Pitch Perfect have become the stuff of blockbusters. Even Jennifer Lawrence was persuaded to sing in The Hunger Games.
