Story Title: "Tell Joey I love him!" (or "Even with not-so-great power comes great responsibility!")
In this issue:
Alison, having been knocked unconscious in a battle with Dr, Doom, is nursed back to health in a hospital, where she begins to really like her doctor, at the dislike of a nurse.
She ultimately winds up helping an old lady in the hospital by helping her estranged son, who winds up being a new hero called the Blue Shield. She doesn't know they are the same person, and doesn't find out in this issue.
She gets some info from the Beast at Avengers headquarters and she and the Blue Shield wind up taking on a Terror Tank created by the Feds, but stolen by the gangsters that Blue Shield has sworn to bring down.
Ultimately, they succeed, thanks to Dazzler destroying the tank's visual capability with her powers. She then inadvertently delivers a message to the old lady's son by speaking of it to him as the Blue Shield. He later visits his mom in the hospital and Alison even gets a date from the doctor who showed her some attention.
But not without the same nurse deciding to do something about the blossoming relationship...
Continued in issue #6!
Personal Comments:
One of the things I like about Dazzler, is that she comes across as more normal, just like the rest of us. She wants to live her life on her own and be able to take care of herself, without involving herself in the broader Mutant struggle.
She tries to have a music career and pay for things herself. Many times, she spends all of her money and doesn't know what she is going to do. How many times in our lives have we been in a position of not being sure how we are going to get through all of our responsibilities in life?
But she strives and never gives up, and ultimately, everything seems to work out....
At least up until the next crisis. Sounds like most everyone's life.
