Hey! I’ve been a huge huge fan of Jean, Storm and Rogue for forever and ever, and I keep seeing people reblogging Emma Frost stuff. I don’t know too much about her other than just her powers and her getting with Scott after Jean died. What can you tell me about her that’s awesome? I want to be a fan of her, I just don’t know much

I’m going to post this publicly for our followers to chime in, because I know we have a lot of Emma loving followers.

Emma’s always at her best when she’s written in shades of grey. Through her villain to hero arc she always remains Emma. What’s always been interesting to me about her is how she’s driven by love. Even when she was a villain, she loved her students. She has a certain pragmatism that eludes most of the X-Men. She’s a great teacher and a great leader. She’s a survivor.

What I’ve always loved about Emma is her unapologetic confidence, her bluntness, the way she cuts through bullshit. I liked her with Scott a lot because she always knew how to keep him in check. 

If you’re looking for Emma stories to read I recommend Grant Morrison’s New X-Men. I loved her in Astonishing X-Men, too.
