A GIF and some images from this week's episode of X-Men '97 have found their way online, and they reveal that a fan-favorite character will be making their debut in "Remember it."

Though this will likely be revealed in today's promo clip, anyway, if you'd rather not know who it's going to be beforehand, best to stop reading now.

As you'll see below, the fifth episode of the animated revival series will feature Alison Blair, aka Dazzler, who can be seen performing onstage while several other characters, including Rogue and Boom Boom, look on from the crowd. 

The musical mutant did appear in the original '90s series (voiced by Catherine Disher), but wasn't heavily featured.

Rumors that Taylor Swift might play a live-action take on Dazzler in Deadpool and Wolverine did the rounds last year, but there doesn't appear to be any truth to them - although the pop megastar may still appear in some capacity.

UPDATE: The images were taken from this now officially-released teaser, so we're not actually sure if Dazzler will make her debut in tomorrow's episode, as these shots could be from later in the season.

The voice cast for X-Men '97 includes Ray Chase as Cyclops, Jennifer Hale as Jean Grey, Alison Sealy-Smith as Storm, Cal Dodd as Wolverine, JP Karliak as Morph, Lenore Zann as Rogue, George Buza as Beast, AJ LoCascio as Gambit, Holly Chou as Jubilee, Isaac Robinson-Smith as Bishop, Matthew Waterson as Magneto and Adrian Hough as Nightcrawler.

Beau DeMayo, who was recently fired, serves as head writer of X-Men ’97, while episodes are directed by Jake Castorena, Chase Conley and Emi Yonemura. Brad Winderbaum, Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso and DeMayo executive produce.

The titles for all 10 episodes were recently revealed.

While the titles don't appear to give too much away at first glance, some of them definitely offer hints at what the episodes in question could focus on, and those familiar with the X-Men's comic book history are sure to pick up on a few things.

For that reason, potential spoilers follow.

E1: To Me, My X-Men

E2: Mutant Liberation Begins

E3: Fire Made Flesh

E4: Motendo

E5: Remember It

E6: Bright Eyes

E7: Shine With Strength Reborn

E8: Tolerance is Extinction - Part 1

E9: Tolerance is Extinction - Part 2

E10: Tolerance is Extinction - Part 3

I dont get the hype for Dazzler

Selfishly, I want Dazzler to get more popular because I'm sitting on a really nice copy of X-Men 130.

But do Disco Dazzler. With the roller skates and shit.

Just caught up with this a few days ago.

I didn't really have opinions until Ep. 3, and then I had two. One positive one negative.

Episode 3 is where the series kicks into high gear. It's awesome, it's sexy, it's bloody, it's genuinely horrific, all of which is a great direction to take the show in. I doubt there are many if any actual kids watching the show, so I encourage them to move in this direction. It kicks all kinds of ass.

But this same episode also shows that this is not the same show as the original. If the original show had done Inferno, it would have done a multi-part arc, faithfully adapting the main arc in the comics and it would have had some montage sequences showing how this affected the rest of the Marvel Universe (such as Daredevil and Typhoid Mary fighting in a hellish New York City). Rushing through it all in one episode is more of an '80s cartoon thing rather than a '90s cartoon thing (unless you count things like the Bane episode of BTAS, but that was done on purpose and with disdain).

So I'm here and there with it. I'm enjoying it and all the geeky candy, I loved seeing Savage Land Rogue and Magneto for example, but it is not what the original was.

@litobirdy - maaaan... future Jubilee was kicking all kinds of ass

@litobirdy - I like Jubilee, but Dazzler feels a bit derivative and I never cared for her outside of a background character.

@Vigor - She was also fully preying on underaged ass. Jubilee is a pedo.

Man, episode 4 was very clunky. Especially the Storm/Forge stuff which was just rushed and a bit silly overall.

@MarkCassidy - I agree. Felt like Storm was with him for maybe two days and he’s already saying he loves her. Motendo was kind of fun but could have been a short and the Storm-Forge plot could have been more fleshed out.

@MarkCassidy - It's nowhere near as good as the two issues it was based on but I thought it was better than Montendo.

Wasn't Dazzler in X-Men Dark Phoenix?

Fan favourite? Her first appearance is increasing in value because of the rumour that she is in Deadpool And Wolverine but that is all, I don't think she's as popular as the rest of The X-Men.

I gave up on this after one episode as anything from the 90s belongs in the past but reading all the positive feedback here has me reconsidering. I'm loving Invincible, is this series likely to get anywhere close?
