Rare Breed
A Marvel Fan Film
A short non profit fan film about Alison Blaire aka the Dazzler fighting her way through sentinels and Luke Cage to get important data to Professor X.
Written & Directed by Dustin Hawkins.
​
​
This short 10 minute film is about the Dazzler! Professor X has a plan to cease the violent enforcement of the Mutant Registration Act. But in order to do that, they first need to discover why Trask Industries has partnered with S.H.I.E.L.D. Follow Alison Blaire aka the Dazzler as she encounters Sentinels, assassins, and other foes in a daring mission to return stolen tactical data to Charles Xavier.
For those unfamiliar with Alison Blaire(The Dazzler), she has the unique ability to turn sound into light and lasers. She's a very old character in the Marvel universe and we are very happy to honor her character in this short.
