Favourite comic book ladies: Emma Frost
↳ You thought you could write the future, didn’t you? You thought you had the magic formula. The secret recipe. But the future doesn’t have a formula. It’s all ad lib. All desperate improvisation in front of a dying audience in a room where the ceiling is about to fall in.

Gambit #12 (2000)
The eXecutors
executor, n. one who
carries out or follows through on a duty, job, mission, or task; one who
executes. in colloquial terms, someone who gets @#!& doneWhen flying around in spandex
becomes inefficient and reactionary, the world needs a new type of hero. The
Executors are a small task force dedicated to making real change through
targeted actions. The process is simple. First, Gambit picks a target, a person, corporation, or entity with the
power to do real harm to mutantkind. Then, Karma
runs recon, being the team’s eyes, ears, and mind inside, while Cat uses her technological know-how to scout
out the target’s security system. Once Cat and the King of Thieves have devised
a plan, Psylocke and M charm, bribe, punch, or stab their
way to the goal. Hidden in the shadows and above the law, this is the team that
gets things done. Ready, set, eXecute.
Love me some classic Rogue
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.
