Through working at the Hellfire Club as a dancer, Emma caught the attention of the Hellfire Club elite, who knew she was a mutant. She eventually worked her way to become a prominent figure in corporate society.
She earned money from stock ownership at an electronic and transportation company and eventually became a majority stockholder. At this time, she was headmistress of the Massachusetts Academy, a preparatory school for grades seventh through twelfth. Her rise in society gained her an invite to the upper ranks of the Hellfire Club.
To avenge his wife, Shaw killed Buckman with the help of Emma Frost. She manipulated the Black King into killing his own wife, Paris, and then himself. She visited Atlantis to seduce Namor into joining the circle, but Shaw sent Sentinels to attack the city after not hearing from Emma in weeks. Namor was angry at Emma, but she told him that the Black King cared only about power, while she cared about the rights of mutantkind.
And she did not plan the Sentinel attack. Namor believed her, and they both traveled to the Hellfire Club to talk to Shaw, but Shaw defeated Namor by absorbing his power, and Selene erased Emma's memories of Namor and the whole fiasco. The Massachusetts Academy ran a regular school, along with an underground school for the select mutants - who were known as the Hellions. During these years, the year-old mutant Kitty Pryde caught Emma's attention as a new recruit. Emma introduced herself to the Pryde family and offered Kitty a chance to be enrolled in the Massachusetts Academy.
Kitty's parents felt comfortable with the offer, but Kitty did not. After Emma left the Pryde's home with the offer open, the X-Men arrived and seemed friendlier to Kitty. She went to an ice cream shop with Storm and Wolverine, where the White Queen would ambush them.
Emma captured the X-Men in the ice cream shop, but Kitty got away and managed to contact the other X-Men. When the X-Men arrived at Emma's place, she engaged in a telepathic battle with Jean Grey, who was undergoing power transformations due to the Phoenix.
Jean defeated Emma and left her in a comatose state. After Emma Frost recovered from her comatose state, she recollected the memories that Selene erased during her bout with Namor.
Kitty's parents requested that Kitty to withdraw from Xavier's and transfer to Massachusetts Academy. However, their plan failed when Kitty helped the X-Men get away. Both Emma and Storm returned to their regular bodies, and she promised to never interfere with the X-Men again. Emma Frost continued to train the Hellions, who were under rigorous training schedules. She frequently searched for new mutants using the Multivac, a mutant searching system similar to Cerebro.
She discovered Angelica Jones, who would later be known as Firestar. Emma was angry at her father, but also learned more of his deceptive methods. Emma finally graduated high school at an early age of , and the Frosts went on a post-graduation, family vacation. So, Emma exposed their secrets to the family. Although angry at Emma, her father admired her for sneaky, manipulative tactics and seriously considered her as an heir to the Frost family fortune.
After all, Cordelia was a rebellious underachiever into drugs, tattoos, and goth clothing; Adrienne was always one step behind the Frost family manipulations; and Christian was gay. Christian moved out of the Frost household and lived with his boyfriend to avoid his father's discrimination.
Emma supported her brother and often visited him for movie and popcorn nights, but she became increasingly concerned with his drug addictions. Their mother and Cordelia were already lost to drugs, and she didn't want to lose another one. Christian once attempted suicide, and Emma believed he needed serious help, so she informed their father. Her father praised her for the information she gave him and promised Christian would be sent to a rehabilitation center.
During an important family meeting, Winston chose Emma as the heir of his inheritance, and not Adrienne, the oldest and most competitive towards Emma. He then sent Christian to a mental institution for the insane, and not a rehab center, like he promised to Emma.
Disgusted, she rejected her father's inheritance and told her father she would make it her own way without his help. With only dollars she took from her savings account, Emma was poor and lived on the streets, but she used her telepathy to gain valuable stock information at prestigious galas she sneaked into.
She learned of the Hellfire Club and its members and even met Harry Leland, Dark Beast, and Banshee -- people she would interact in a greater capacity later in her life. In fact, her father offered his inheritance to her. Emma worked a few jobs but was fired for her clumsiness and inexperience.
As a dishwasher, she met Troy Killkelly, and the two developed a romantic relationship. He owed money to a Boston gang, and Emma became entangled in his affair. She helped Troy raise money through gambling and using her telepathy to win games, but they irresponsibly spent the money and had none by the deadline, so the gang kidnapped the couple.
Aware of Emma's rich family, Troy suggested the gang hold her for pretend ransom and demand money from her father. They filmed the extortion and sent the tape to Winston, but the plan backfired when Winston said Emma was not worth the money. The gang held Emma for ransom for real this time and killed Troy to demonstrate that they were not bluffing. When the Phoenix , forced to return to life prematurely, came to Earth to use Cyclops' powers to replenish itself, Emma and the X-Men tried to stop it.
As part of a desperate plan, Emma convinced the Phoenix to possess her, briefly making her a host of the Phoenix Force. A resurrected Jean Grey forced the Phoenix to leave Emma, and the X-Men were able to diffuse the situation by projecting all the X-Men's feelings of love towards Jean directly into her mind, preventing her from losing control and becoming Dark Phoenix. In the House of M reality, created by the Scarlet Witch by making every hero's most desired wishes come true, Emma was married to Cyclops and worked as a child psychologist.
With the help of other "awakened" heroes, they commenced an assault on Magneto's Genoshan headquarters and tried to find the missing Professor Xavier. After what came to be known as M-Day , Emma was among the relatively few mutants to retain her powers. Not long afterwards, however, Emma's world would change even more. After following the Stepford Sisters to The World , Emma Frost finally learned the origin of the Cuckoos: they were her daughters, bred from her eggs alongside hundreds of others, harvested by Sublime years before.
Later, the question of Emma's "true loyalties" was brought into focus again, as Emma abandoned the team during a fight to confer with a shadowy figure, revealed to be one of a group of four individuals watching from the shadows. The group consisted of Sebastian Shaw, Negasonic Teenage Warhead a girl who had apparently died in Genosha , Cassandra Nova and a cloaked figure called Perfection, who discussed among themselves Emma's impending betrayal of the team.
In reality, Emma Frost's trick on Cassandra Nova months before had created nefarious consequences: Cassandra had implanted a mental suggestion into Emma's mind, creating a delusion wherein she believed that she had only joined the X-Men to free Cassandra.
The "new Hellfire Club" was, in fact, no more than a mental projection created by Emma. Under Cassandra's influence, Frost telepathically tormented the X-Men with a series of illusions and coerced Kitty into freeing Cassandra, but, before she could break free from Stuff's body, S.
Brand, in need of super-heroes, explained that Lord Kruun , the leader of Breakworld , intended to eliminate Earth due to a prophecy that claimed Colossus would destroy Breakworld. Upon reaching the planet, the X-Men were relentlessly attacked, being scattered all over the alien planet. Danger , the physical manifestation of the Danger Room 's software, had also been brought by Brand and attacked Cyclops and Frost.
Cyclops, Wolverine and Armor deceived Kruun's forces by being intentionally captured. With Kruun accounted for, Kitty phased into the missile in order to disable it, only to discover it was actually a giant bullet, which was ultimately fired at Earth with Kitty trapped inside. She was ultimately killed by her own rage, failing to destroy Breakworld, but the bullet was already on its way to the Solar System and the heroes on Earth were failing to stop it.
At the last moment, Kitty Pryde used her powers to phase the entire bullet through Earth, effectively preventing the planet's destruction. However, with no obstacles to oppose it, the bullet kept moving in a straight line, leaving Kitty to forever wander through outer space.
During a vacation in the Savage Land, Emma and Scott were called to San Francisco when Warren realized someone was telepathically making everyone think they were in the s. Emma was able to break through the mental barriers and expose Martinique , but she escaped before they could get to her. Emma called every "X-Man" any powered and depowered mutants, friends or foes in the world using her telepathy, to ask them to rally in SF. When Xavier attempted to warn Cyclops about his recent encounter with Sinister, Frost managed to enter the Professor's mind undetected.
During the course of their encounter, Frost forced Xavier to relive each of his mistakes and morally ambiguous decisions made under altruistic pretenses. It was also revealed that while Frost was just as angry with Xavier as Cyclops was, she also wanted to help him move on with his life. Frost pointed the Professor in a new direction by forcing him to relive the supposed death of Moira MacTaggert and reminding him of her last words.
Emma fought the Skrulls in San Francisco during the invasion. There, the Skrulls set up a telepathy-blocking "wall" throughout the globe. Emma channeled the Cuckoos' telepathy into her own using Cerebra in an attempt to locate the source of the psi-blockade but was left comatose.
The Cuckoos told Cyclops that Emma was dead, unaware that Emma's telepathic mind was continuing to battle the psychic team of Skrulls. Setting a series of traps through misdirection, Emma managed to break free and shut down the psi-blockade.
After Norman Osborn was appointed as the USA 's top cop, he immediately convened a group of supposedly like-minded individuals later dubbed the Cabal to consolidate his grip on power.
Following a series of pro versus anti-mutant protests and riots instigated by Simon Trask in San Francisco, Emma was asked by Norman Osborn to lead a civil peacekeeping group of X-Men sanctioned by himself. Emma accepted but decided to add Namor to the roster, as they had recently become close allies.
Emma's first mission with the team occurred when she arrested a group of mutant vandals led by her own former star student, Hellion. Even at that early stage, there was already tension between teammates, particularly when Daken a member of Osborn's X-Men almost perpetrated a lethal attack on a mutant rioter.
Emma prevented any fatalities, however, and the prisoners were brought in. While tensions rose between the Dark Avengers and the new X-Men team, enhanced by the aggression of Daken and Hawkeye , Emma put emphasis on the fact that she would only continue to be a party to this strategy of Osborn's if all the mutants were treated humanely, insisting on touring the facility to see how the prisoners were being treated.
She was then contacted by Professor X, who informed her that he and Hank were being kept prisoner there. He also told her that the Omega Chair developed by the Dark Beast had horrible side effects and that Osborn wasn't telling her everything. Emma then discovered that the presence of Hank and Professor X was being kept secret from her using hologram projectors. Remaining in her diamond form for protection, and unable to speak telepathically, she verbally reassured the Professor that she believed him and that she would make sure everything would be all right.
Over the next several days, she then took her team of X-Men around San Francisco, not only stopping Trask and his human-conversion bio sentinels, but also clearing up the residual riots and rounding up the remaining mutants from the streets. Her motives came into even greater doubt when she and Namor stood idly by when Dark Beast was using his Omega Machine to torture and power drain the captives, while Cloak and Dagger could barely look on.
However, Emma's true motivations and interests behind her recent actions were revealed when, after another session draining Henry McCoy with the Omega Machine, Dark Beast and Weapon Omega discovered that all the mutant captives had disappeared.
Mindee had allowed herself to get arrested so she could lead X-Force there, using Magik's portals. With his Cabal crippled due to the loss of two key members, an enraged Osborn ordered the Dark Avengers and remaining Dark X-Men to bring him "Namor's head" and "Frost's heart". While Cyclops' X-Men battled Norman's teams, Emma telepathically accessed the "white room" she had stored in the Sentry 's mind, so that she could contain the Void while he made his escape.
Unfortunately, the Void proved too strong for Emma and broke free, chasing after the Sentry. Worse, a small sliver of the Void was trapped in her forehead, forcing Emma to remain in diamond form so it wouldn't control her and access her telepathic abilities. Though free from Osborn, a new menace soon arrived in the form of Selene. Frost, in particular, was targeted for attempting to betray her years before. Using the techno-organic virus, Selene managed to resurrect countless dead mutants, including Emma's old students, the Hellions, who she sent to Utopia to attack and taunt Frost.
Their appearance was enough to leave Frost in a horrified state of shock, but Scott stepped in and kept her safe in this low moment. However, after Selene's inner circle succeeded in capturing Warpath , leaving a great deal of carnage behind, Frost recognized that the threat would not end until Selene and her inner circle were permanently stopped. Thus, she ordered X-Force to travel to Necrosha and kill them all, even Wither.
After things calmed down, the time came to remove the Void sliver from Emma, given that the X-Men needed a telepath in place of the Stepford Cuckoos, who were rendered unconscious when the Phoenix fragments escaped from their bodies. Cyclops attempted to go into her mind to extract the sliver. Unfortunately, the Void changed tactics and attempted to take control of him.
Luckily, Cyclops was able to seal the Void within the black box in his mind, [] where he previously kept tactical secrets that could result in innocent deaths. After having convinced Namor that she'd killed Shaw for crimes against mutantkind, [52] Emma was growing worried that Namor would find out he was actually being held in Utopia's Brig.
When Emma was acting as a psi-link between Colossus and a newly-returned Kitty Pryde, who was stuck in her intangible form and unable to speak, Pryde sensed a "leaking thought" of Emma's desire to finally get rid of Shaw, and insisted on helping her deal with the issue. Kitty got a special suit from X-Club to cancel out her intangibility and accompanied Emma and Fantomex to China to make sure they wouldn't kill him.
There, Shaw broke free and tried to kill Emma. After multiple failed attempts at subduing the Black King, Emma made him think he'd managed to kill her, which gave her enough to break through his mental blocks and wipe his memory clean. After that, they left him there to live his life away from them. During the Serpent's Invasion , San Francisco was strangely spared for a time.
Namor tried to seduce Emma once more but she refused him; however, Namor taunted her about her romantic relationship with Cyclops, saying that "he married the redhead". This allowed the Serpent 's worldwide fear effect into Emma's mind, heightening her insecurities. She was nearly compelled to kill Hope, who was hospitalized after fighting the Serpent's agent Juggernaut , but Namor snapped Emma out of her trance.
After the super-sentinel attack on Utopia, Emma considered going with Wolverine to the school in order to pursue her love of teaching. Cyclops begged her to stay however and she relented. She then joined the Extinction Team.
On their first big mission against a resurrected Mister Sinister, she lost her arm in diamond form, forcing her to stay that way until it was reattached. Emma Frost sided with her fellow X-Men against the Avengers. She took Hope away, deeper into Utopia to keep her safe and joined the fight, which began when Cyclops blasted Captain America with his optic power.
During the battle, Emma's telepathic abilities were blocked by a nanocloud created by Iron Man , forcing her to rely on her diamond form. After the Avengers appeared to have won the battle of Utopia after Cyclops surrendered, it was revealed to be a ruse allowing Cyclops, Emma and several other mutants to escape and begin the search for Hope, who had left Utopia after defeating the Lights , Wolverine and Spider-Man.
After Wolverine was approached by Hope and betrayed her location to Captain America, Emma used her telepathy to find out where Hope was; and together with Colossus, Namor, Magik and Cyclops, she journeyed to the Moon in order to stop the Avengers from getting her. Before a battle could break out, the two teams were interrupted by Thor who fell from the skies badly injured. He was swiftly followed by the Phoenix. A fight broke out between the X-Men and the Avengers as the Phoenix was making Hope into its new host; while Iron Man built a weapon to fight the Phoenix.
Cyclops and the rest of the avatars took Hope back to Earth in order to prepare her. The Phoenix five destroyed almost all Sentinels on Earth, Emma went to the Avengers Academy to destroy Juston Seyfert 's Sentinel even if its programming preventing it from hurting mutants. After seeing that Juston saw the Sentinel as a friend the other members of the Academy tried to help him only to be defeated by the incredible power of Phoenix.
Once Emma destroyed the Sentinel and left the place, Pietro revealed that he saved the control unit, so they could rebuild it. Emma and her fellow Phoenixes began using their powers to make the world a better place by eliminating wars and providing water, food and energy to the entire world for free.
The Avengers continued to oppose them however and kidnapped Hope, causing Cyclops to declare "No more Avengers". Cyclops insisted on not using lethal force however. Emma found out the Avengers were hiding in Wakanda and told this to her fellow Phoenix Namor, but neglected to mention it to anyone else. Namor stormed Wakanda, [] but was narrowly defeated by the Avengers. After receiving Namor's portion of the Phoenix, Emma's power increased and she found out where the Avengers had taken Hope.
The increased power also became more than she could handle and she began worrying over what she would do next. With her increased telepathic powers, she was able to know the secrets of everyone in the world and began losing control of herself by killing people who had harmed mutants like a pilot who accidentally killed a young mutant and neglected to report it.
When Colossus and Magik fought each other and knocked each other out, their portions of the Phoenix went to Emma and Cyclops. Magneto attempted to reason with her but Emma refused to listen and threatened him. After being defeated by Hope, Cyclops realized that he needed more power and traveled to Utopia to find Emma. Cyclops could not find himself to take the Phoenix from Emma, despite some taunting on her part. She tested Scott by tempting him to burn the entire world and start again from nothing, but Cyclops refused.
Their conversation was interrupted when they were attacked by the combined might of the Avengers and the X-Men. Professor X used his telepathy to try and shut them down long enough for the Avengers and X-Men to take them down. Cyclops finally gave in and brutally took Emma's portion of the Phoenix, becoming the sole wielder of the Phoenix Force. After Xavier tried to shut him down again, Scott killed him and completely lost control of himself, becoming the Dark Phoenix. Shortly after, Emma was freed by Cyclops and Magneto as she was being transferred, but both her rescuers realized they were no longer in full control of their powers.
While she was grateful for the spring, she was still furious at Cyclops and wanted to get as far away from him as she could, even revealing that she could no longer read people's minds, and that anyone touched by the Phoenix had their powers altered in some way. After a moment of deliberation and realizing more police were on their way, Emma agreed to join with Scott and Magneto once more and, along with Magik, began searching for new mutants. Emma was present during several of Cyclops' skirmishes in freeing several Mutants from their human captors, but was not present for the meeting with the original five X-Men , displaced in time, and was displeased to hear of Jean Grey once more among the living and running around in their time.
During a mission to San Diego , Emma, along with the rest of her team, donned new outfits, sporting a completely black wardrobe this time around, in the same vein as her teammates. She poked fun at Magneto being unable to control metal as he used to when battling the Sentinels, but Cyclops saved the day during a counterattack. She was also in utter shock at seeing what level of destruction the alterations to his powers created in its wake.
Emma later accused Tony Stark of being responsible for the Phoenix Five's creation, [] convinced Scott to go along with Magneto's double agent status, recruited time-displaced Angel and the Stepford Cuckoos, [] fought the forces of Limbo , [] and assisted in teaching Benjamin Deeds how to use his powers cleverly.
Her telepathic powers later returned through unknown means shortly before Cyclops disbanded his school. When Emma Frost and the X-Men received a distress call from Muir Island , they discovered the clouds formed by the Terrigen Mist released into the atmosphere by the Inhuman king Black Bolt were toxic to mutants and one of them had swept over the island and killed everyone there. While investigating the facility, Cyclops was almost instantaneously affected by the mists and died.
Struck by grief, Emma resolved to give Cyclops a more fitting death and created a mental projection of him. Using this mental projection, she put together a plot to destroy the Terrigen Clouds. She was successful in destroying one of them, but was confronted by the Inhumans. As part of her plan to turn Cyclops into a martyr, Emma had the mental projection confront Black Bolt, and "die" by his hand.
