Dazzler: de disco superheldin van Marvel

In Marvel Superhelden 3 uit 1981 lees je de Nederlandstalige versie van Uncanny X-Men 130. Dat was de eerste verschijning van Dazzler. Maar wist je dat de creatie van het personage toen al lang bezig was? 👉

Donna Summer of Grace Jones als superheld?

Al in het begin van 1979 ontstond het idee voor Dazzler. Het zou een samenwerking worden tussen Marvel Comics en Casablanca Records (Universal Music Group), bekend van disco-successen zoals Donna Summer. Er bestaan verschillende versies over wie het initiatief nam: volgens Louise Simonson van Marvel benaderde Casablanca Marvel, maar Marvel-medewerker Jim Shooter beweerde dat het idee van Alice Donenfeld kwam. Neil Bogart van Casablanca was enthousiast en wilde zelfs een half uur durende animatiespecial met tal van Marvel-personages lanceren. Tom DeFalco, Roger Stern en John Romita Jr. gingen aan de slag met het vormgeven van Dazzler. Oorspronkelijk zou het personage 'Disco Queen' heten en in de eerste ontwerpen was ze een Afro-Amerikaanse vrouw, geïnspireerd op zangeres en actrice Grace Jones.

Productie perikelen

Dazzler's krachten waren aanvankelijk mensen de waarheid te laten spreken, maar dit werd veranderd naar licht-gebaseerde krachten die beter pasten bij haar naam. Casablanca had het laatste woord over het personage en verwierp sommige ideeën van Marvel. De vele vertragingen in het proces deden het team vrezen dat disco dood zou zijn tegen de tijd dat Dazzler verscheen.

Het multimedia-aspect van het project veranderde ook meerdere keren. Shooter produceerde een pitch voor de TV-special die Bogart wilde omzetten in een live-action special met beroemdheden zoals Cher, Donna Summer, Kiss, en Robin Williams als Marvel-personages. Na financiële problemen bij Casablanca en het vertrek van Bogart, toonde filmmaker John Derek dan weer interesse in Dazzler als een filmproject voor zijn vrouw Bo Derek. Hierdoor werd het stripfiguur opnieuw ontworpen om meer op Bo Derek te lijken, wat leidde tot ongenoegen bij kunstenaar Romita Jr.

Maar hoe zit het nu met de comics?

Oorspronkelijk zou de 34-pagina's tellende Dazzler-strip verschijnen als onderdeel van de 'Marvel Comics Super Special' serie. Na het terugtrekken van Casablanca en Filmworks zocht Marvel nog tevergeefs naar andere platenlabels en filmstudio's. In plaats van het voltooide werk te laten verloren gaan, besloot Shooter om de losstaande special om te vormen tot een doorlopende stripreeks. De eerste nummers van die reeks zijn ook in het Nederlands opgenomen in Marvel Special 3, 5 en 9. Let op, je leest die best in volgorde 3, 9, 5.

Intussen, nog voor haar eigen serie verscheen, was Dazzler al wel in andere titels te zien, zoals dus Uncanny X-Men 130, onze Marvel Superhelden 3. Maar bijvoorbeeld ook in Amazing Spider-Man 203, in het Nederlands uitgegeven in Spektakulaire Spiderman 12 of Marvel Team-Up 108, hier verschenen in Marvel Superhelden 9.

Mutant

Door de optredens in de X-Mannen kon je alvast wel raden dat al snel zou blijken dat Dazzler een mutant is. Dat had best nare gevolgen voor haar personage. In de limited serie 'Schoonheid en het Beest' wordt daar dieper op ingegaan. En jawel hoor, er ontstaat ook een romance tussen Dazzler en Beast.

Swifties

De link tussen de muziekwereld en Dazzler is er trouwens nog steeds. Wist je dat Taylor Swift onlangs werd benaderd om Dazzler te gaan vertolken in het MCU? 🎤
