Diamond Sculpted Seductress
Powers and Abilities:
Emma Frost possesses various telepathic talents, including the ability to read minds and influence the thoughts of others. As a consequence of continued mutation, Emma Frost can now assume a diamond-hard, nearly indestructible form. Whilst in her diamond form, Emma's telepathic abilities are suppressed.
Emma Frost is a leading member of an old Boston mercantile family that arrived from England in the 1600s. She inherited a good deal of wealth, but most of her large fortune resulted from her professional success. She ascended rapidly to the upper echelon of the business world on the strength of her intelligence, drive and personal charm... and the secret use of her psionic abilities.
Eventually, Frost became majority stockholder of a multibillion-dollar conglomerate principally involved in electronics and transportation - both the building of ships and aircraft, and their use for freight and passenger conveyance. Despite her relative youth, she was named chairwoman of the board and chief executive officer of the rechristened Frost International. She also became headmistress and chairwoman of the board of trustees of the Massachusetts Academy - a college preparatory school for students in grades seven through twelve located in the Berkshire Mountains in Snow Valley, Massachusetts.
Frost's beauty and talent earned her an invitation to join the Hellfire Club, an elite social organization of the world's wealthiest and most powerful figures. Frost became an ally of Sebastian Shaw - a member of the club's Council of the Chosen, secretly conspiring to achieve world domination through economic and political means. At the time, the leaders of the club and council - its foremost Lords Cardinal, whose titles corresponded to the names of chess pieces - were White King Edward Buckman and White Queen Paris Seville.
Buckman threw the council's support behind Project Armageddon, scientist Steven Lang's program to construct mutant-hunting Sentinel robots. Aware of Shaw's genetic disposition, Buckman told him the initiative's intent was to capture mutants as a means of helping the council attain power. But Frost learned using her psionic powers that the project's actual purpose was the annihilation of all genetic deviants. Together, Shaw and Frost staged a coup that saw them seize control of the Council of the Chosen, which they renamed the Inner Circle. Shaw took the title of Black King, and Frost became the new White Queen.
Under Shaw and Frost, mutants dominated the Inner Circle. To strengthen the club's power base, Frost recruited genetically gifted youngsters and helped them hone their abilities at her school. Most of these students were members of the Hellions, Frost's first mutant super-team. Frost initially encountered the outlaw band of heroic mutant adventurers known as the X-Men when she unsuccessfully attempted to recruit young Kitty Pryde, the phase-shifting mutant known as Shadowcat. Subsequently, Frost crossed paths with the X-Men - and their proteges, the New Mutants - on a number of occasions, often as their adversary. Later, the X-Men joined with the Hellions to protect the White Queen from the time-traveling terrorist named Trevor Fitzroy. However, the madman's brutal assault plunged Frost into a deep coma and brought about the Hellions' untimely demise.
With Frost's consciousness still active on the material plane, and her body was kept in the med-lab at the X-Men's mansion. Seeking to ensure her students' welfare and the school's future, Frost had willed responsibility for the Massachusetts Academy to the telepathic, telekinetic Professor Charles Xavier, founder of the X-Men. During her psychic incapacitation, the school was added to the rapidly expanding Xavier Institute. While Frost's corporeal form was in stasis, an accident caused her psyche to possess the irrepressible Iceman; likewise, his mind was transferred into her body.
Coerced by Professor X, Frost eventually reclaimed her own form. After making a full recovery, she resumed her role as headmistress of the academy. Ably assisted by Sean Cassidy, the sonically empowered former X-Man known as Banshee, she set out to train a new crop of young mutants: Generation X. When the sinking stock market dealt Frost International a major blow, she swallowed her pride and sought the help of older sister. Adrienne Frost agreed to support her sibling's flagging financial interests only if she were named co-headmaster. But Adrienne's power play did not wind down when Emma acceded to her request, nor did it end when she supplanted her sister as the Hellfire Club's White Queen. Only after Adrienne telepathically incited a riot at the school did Emma find a way to upset her ascension: the way of the gun. Emma shot and killed her sister, thereby laying claim to Adrienne's inheritance.
Following the dissolution of Generation X and the closure of the Massachusetts Academy, Emma Frost joined the X-Men and began teaching mutant children in Genosha before a Sentinel attack wiped out the population of the tiny island nation. Following this incident, Emma teaches at the Xavier Institute, and had a special group of students. The telepathic quintuplets known as the Stepford Cuckoos.
Emma would later counsel Scott Summers from when he was possessed by Apocalypse. This later turned into a telepathic affair between the two of them which was short-lived after Summers' wife, Jean Grey, discovered what was happening.
During the riot at the Xavier Institute, Sophie of the Stepford Cuckoos died. The remaining sisters blamed Emma Frost for this and told Jean Grey-Summers of Emma's affair with her husband. When Emma was confronted by Jean, she was forced to relive various moments of her past. Following this confrontation, Emma was shot with a diamond bullet by the student Angel Salvadore, who was being mind-controlled by the Cuckoo Esme. She turned to diamond as she was hit, but the bullet hit her flaw, causing her to shatter. Though she was believed to be dead at first, Emma's consciousness was trapped in her shattered remains. Phoenix discovered this and telekinetically fused Emma's body back together. Upon being reassembled, Emma identified Esme as the culprit behind her recent condition.
After Jean’s death Emma and Cyclops got together and became the co-headmasters of the school. She’s also the student advisor of the training squad called the Hellions and part of Cyclops’s team of X-Men.
