“Showtime”

In "Showtime," Dazzler and Beast navigate a tense new chapter as their growing bond is tested by her participation in the arena fights. When Beast uncovers a dangerous secret about the lab behind the spectacle, he’s forced to confront the consequences—both physical and emotional—when he’s injected with a power-altering potion. The issue’s striking cover by Bill Sienkiewicz captures the raw intensity of the moment, while Ann Nocenti’s writing and Don Perlin’s art bring a grounded, emotional weight to the escalating stakes.

Beast and Dazzler begin to spend a little more time together, even though Hank strongly disapproves of her fighting in the arena. Beast once again tries and talk her out of participating but she refuses. Beast investigates a lab in the complex and discovers that Flynn and Longride have been giving Dazzler a potion that makes her powers go out of control. He is caught and injected with a potion himself. In the arena, Dazzler finds herself facing a feral Beast and they wage a brutal battle. The pair snap out of it but the audience still wants blood. Flynn accommodates them by killing Longride.
