Dazzler #41 1985 Marvel Comics: Paul Chadwick and Jackson Guice Newsstand Cover

"Dust has called in Stomper of the Outriders to account for the groups failure in capturing Dazzler. He explains to Stomper that he and Silence were scientists that developed a powerful drug for the CIA; however, it was used on them and caused horrible results, with Silence developing sound muting powers while Dust's body crumbled, causing his need to transfer his mind into new bodies. The other test subjects soon spawned offspring that would have the drug in their system. This "New Wave" had latent super-human abilities that were awakened by Dazzler's light powers when she publicly revealed her mutant powers. Gathering the New Wave as a cult under Dust and Silence's lead, the group hoped to capture Dazzler and force her to use her light powers to unlock the full effect of the drugs in their systems so that they could be free from it's more lethal aspects. With his body rapidly crumbling, Dust then takes control of Stompers' body and reports back to Silence. The two decide it's time to call in all the New Wave members and capture Dazzler before it's too late."
