Emma Grace Frost , also known under the name of the White Queen , is a character of fiction, an unpleasant and current ex super mutant heroin of comics of the Marvel universe. Formerly it fought the X-Men as a member of the Club of Damnés, but left the group and became a member of the team of super hero. She was created by Chris Claremont and John Byrne. She appeared for the first time in Uncanny X-Men #129 (January 1980).

Its History

The Club of Damnés and Massachusetts Academy

Emma Frost appeared for the first time as White Reine of the Club of Damnés, a group of mutants, equipped way 18th century and projecting the domination of the world. Frost and the agents of the Club captured many members of X-Men. Frost engaged Phoenix in a psychic duel from where it left losing and in a very bad condition. But it went back from there.

Although it was White Reine of the Club, it also directed Massachusetts Academy, a school for mutant which was used as counterpoint has that of Xavier. The trainees of Frost became the team of supervilains: the Helium nuclei, and fought the young students of Xavier: the New Mutants.

The death of the Helium nuclei

In Uncanny X-Men #281 (1991), transferring it temporal traveller Trevor Fitzroy released the robots hunter of mutants called the Sentinelles on Frost and the Helium nuclei. Frost fell into the coma following the attack and its students were killed.

X-Men are occupérent of comatose Emma Frost in their general headquarter. She woke up later and taken possession of the body of X-man Iceberg. She escaped X-Men, but she was completely devastated by learning death from her students and Xavier was able to encourage it to take again possession of his body. It was combined shortly after in X-Men to counter the attacks of the Phalange against of young mutants which will form shortly after the group Generation X.

Generation X

Emma Frost became the Co-director of the young team of Generation X with Sean Cassidy alias Hurleur. If it inspired initially the mistrust of its protected, it managed little by little to be humanized and to approach them, by making the mourning of the Helium nuclei. However, it had to associate her Adrienne sister with the direction of the School. Adrienne Frost did this one a true private school in which worked of young human students, unconscious of the capacities that their school-fellows had. It then made run the rumor that some of the pupils were mutant, thus déclanchant panic among the students, and posed several bombs in the establishment. One of it killed Everett says Synch. Emma abbatit her sister of a ball in the belly. This event was the beginning of the end for Generation X, from which the members separated shortly after. Emma then joined Genosha in the capacity as professor until the attack perpetrated by Cassandra Nova.

Astonishing X-men

Now, Emma Frost belongs to Astonishing X-Men, a team composed by Cyclops, Shadowcat, impossible to circumvent and omnipresent the Wolverine, the Deer and Colossus, recently ressuscity.

Moreover it maintains an love affair with Cyclops, since the death of the woman of this last Jean Grey, with which it is besides the new Co-director of the Xavier Institute (since Charles Xavier itself left on Génosha, to try to rebuild the island, shouldered by its friend-enemy Magnéto).

The relation between Cyclops and Emma Frost is not besides to give pleasure with the young person Rachel Summers, alias Marvel Girl (second of the name), since the latter is the girl of Cyclops and Jean Grey in an alternative future ( Days off the Futur Past ).

It also supervises the young mutant team, the Hellions, within the Xavier institute.

Its honesty with respect to the X-Men is a recurring question. In fact, its survival with the extermination of the mutants on the island of Génosha is due to Cassandra Nova just like its secondary change. Nova uses it as member infiltrated of the Club of damnés the and handles, indeed, X-Men since one moment.

However the question of the evolution of its behavior and its relation with Cyclops remains posed.

Its level is such as it is completely able to control Cerebro, an apparatus that only telepathic the most gifted can use. She often makes use of her telepathy to deal with the psychological problems of her patients, because Emma is before all a fine psychiatrist.

Diamond skin

Emma recently acquired a new capacity: she can transform her skin into diamond and thus be quasi indestructible, with the manner of Colossus. However, in this form, it cannot use its telepathy any more, but its diamond skin confers an important psychic protection all the same to him. Its nails become sharp and the only thing able to destroy it is a diamond ball (what causes to break it in thousand pieces). It is in this form that it with the practice to fight from now on.
