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.

Women of Marvel: Emma Frost / White Queen
That’s how I survived. Time and time again. That’s my secret. I survived because I willed it to be. How did I survive apocalyptic fire? I simply refused to feel the flames.

The former White Queen of the Hellfire Club, EMMA FROST is a powerful mutant telepath who can transform herself into organic diamond. She has become an prominent member among the X-Men. A gifted teacher, Emma is renowned for her beauty, wit, and revealing attire.
Took a stab at updating the Hellfire White Queen look. Ditch the dated corset and thong thing.
Superpowers, a scintillating wit and the best body money can buy and I still rate below a corpse.

Been told by several people that if I was an X-men character I would be White Queen so…
