HISTORY
The Frost family does not reward weaklings. Emma Frost’s father raised strong-willed and ruthless daughters, but a disappointingly fragile son.
Seeing the brother she loved cruelly used as yet another of her father’s object lessons, Emma finally walked away from her family, determined to make her way alone. On her own she learned hard lessons about life that honed her native aggression and ruthlessness even further and landed her in jail.
It was there that Professor X found her and offered to take her in at his school where she became one of his original X-Men alongside Angel, Beast, Cyclops and Marvel Girl.
Emma never got along with Marvel Girl and always seemed to be the center of drama amongst the original students and some of the later X-Men. In fact, she views one of her greatest accomplishments was stealing Scott Summers away from Jean and keeping his affections focused on her.
After graduation, Emma returned home and deposed her father as head of his company and the family, before returning to Xavier’s school with her younger brother. After occasional stints with the X-Men both old and new, and some solo adventures, she left again to marry Summers. After five years, she came back with her husband, but this time, they came back as teachers.
PERSONALITY
Emma Frost is not a nice person. She is domineering, manipulative, ruthless, sometimes cruel, and far less encumbered by the moral scruples she perceives as hampering her teammates. One thing she always is though, is honest. About herself and her own motivations and desires.
While she has come a lot closer to the side of the angels while working with the X-Men, she retains most of the ice queen persona that helped her survive in her life before Xavier’s school. She is still trying to find a stable equilibrium between her own nature and the role she’s chosen to play in her new environment, and there have been a few stumbles along the way.
ABILITIES & RESOURCES
Emma has the power to project cold and ice from any part of her body. She can use this power to hurl blasts of cold, encase her body in a protective layer of ice, and even create shapes and objects from ice. She is proficient in creating ice slides which allow her to “skate” along the ground at high speeds as well.
Even without her mutant abilities, Emma is a master manipulator. She’s fully aware of her beauty and is shameless about exploiting it and any emotional weaknesses her insight into human psychology might reveal. She is also very proficient with electronics and capable businesswoman.
