X-Treme X-Men # 1 2012 NM-

X-Treme X-Men #1 (2012) kicks off a multiverse-spanning adventure for an ad-hoc team of X-Men, focusing on their mission to hunt down evil, alternate-reality versions of Professor Charles Xavier. The issue introduces Dazzler from the main continuity into a dimension-hopping team. 

Story Synopsis: "Xavier Must Die!: Part 1"

The issue begins on a parallel Earth where a makeshift team of X-Men has just saved the population of a dying world using a device powered by the severed heads of one hundred alternate-universe Charles Xaviers. This act, however, creates a cosmic ripple effect, manifesting ten highly dangerous versions of Xavier across the multiverse and opening rifts in space. 

Back in the main Marvel continuity, Dazzler is recruited by the X-Club to help power a "Ghost Box," a device that can travel between dimensions. When the X-Treme X-Men suddenly arrive from one of the rifts, fighting a colossal telepathic octopus (that world's version of Charles Xavier), Dazzler is pulled into their mission. The team, led by an alternate version of Wolverine called "Captain Howlett," accepts the responsibility of tracking down and neutralizing the other dangerous Xaviers before they cause more harm.
