Cassandra had planted a suggestion in her mind before being imprisoned in a cocoon, and simply took advantage of these doubts and fears.]]

Emma Frost is a Creator/MarvelComics character associated with the mutant superhero team, ComicBook/XMen. She's introduced in ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen Vol. 1 #129'' in 1980. She's created by Creator/ChrisClaremont and Creator/JohnByrne.
Emma began her role in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse as an X-Men supervillainess under the title of White Queen of Hellfire Club. She first appeared in the storyline ComicBook/TheDarkPhoenixSaga, and later becomes the primary villain in original run of ''ComicBook/NewMutants Vol. 1'' with her own team from her Massachussets Academy, Hellions.
After she's recovered from a coma and learns that her Hellions has been slaughtered by the [[KillerRobot Sentinels]] led by a supervillain Trevor Fitzroy during The Phalanx Covenant crossover. Her guilt over her students' deaths led to her eventual reform. Her first role as TheAtoner is in ''ComicBook/GenerationX'' (1994) where she, along with Sean Cassidy a.k.a. Banshee, becomes the mentor for the team. She's also one of main characters in ''ComicBook/NewXMen'' where her infamous affair with ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} happened. In ''New X-Men: Academy X'' (2004), she becomes the leader of new Hellions Squad, this time associated with Xavier Institute. Her team is also the rival of second New Mutants team, echoing the rivalry between the two original groups of the similar names. During the [[ComicBook/HouseOfM M-Day]], most of her team members retain their powers, with the exception of Tag (Brian Cruz) and Specter (Dallas Gibson). Later in ''ComicBook/AstonishingXMen Vol. 3'' (2004-2013), she co-leads X-Men alongside Cyclops after Jean Grey's death. In this series, she also has antagonistic relationship with Kitty Pryde who is reluctant to accept Emma as a leader and teacher.
During the miniseries ''X-Men: Phoenix - Warsong'', it's revealed that during her comatose, her egg cells are used as genetic template to clone several of identical telepath mutant girls, five of which would later known as the Stepford Cuckoos. The clones refer Emma as their "mother", title whose usage she later accepts. She also personally acts as their tutor.
After ComicBook/SecretInvasion and during ComicBook/DarkReign, she's introduced as a member of ComicBook/NormanOsborn's Cabal and X-Men (''Dark X-Men''), only to later betray the team during a confrontation with ComicBook/XForce. She took [[ComicBook/SubMariner Namor]], [[ComicBook/CloakAndDagger Cloak, and Dagger]] along with her to rejoined the rest of the mutants. An enraged Osborn sent ComicBook/DarkAvengers and Dark X-Men to kill her and Namor, but failed spectacularly.
In ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen, she's one of five mutants who are possessed by the Phoenix Force and becomes one of Phoenix Five. Under its influence, she does several terrible things which she later regrets. She lost her portion of Phoenix Force power after Cyclops, who becomes more corrupted by the Phoenix Force, forcibly took it from her. She's later in custody of ComicBook/NewAvengers members [[ComicBook/LukeCageHeroForHire Luke Cage]], ComicBook/{{Mockingbird}}, ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}, and [[ComicBook/FantasticFour the Thing]]. There, she survives an assassination attempt by the Purifiers.
She's later freed from her custody by Cyclops, SelfDemonstrating/{{Magneto}}, and ComicBook/{{Magik}}. Although she was still furious with Cyclops for what happened in the climax of Avengers vs X-Men above, she agreed to join with Cyclops and Magneto once more and along with Magik, began searching for new Mutants. She becomes one of leader in Cyclops’ new X-Men team and she’s present when Cyclops freed several mutants from their human captors. New Charles Xavier School for Mutants is founded.
Later, when [[ComicBook/AllNewXMen the timely-displaced original five X-Men]] come to join the school, she becomes the tutor for teen Jean Grey in the use of her power. Again, they began with restrained relationship, but to everyone’s surprise, they eventually reconcile their differences and begin to bond, after a fashion.

* ColdBloodedTorture: One of her favorite psionic experiences is inducing extreme levels of pain, often in people already held captive. She has continued to violate and traumatise people over the years, frequently in combination with SmugSuper {{One Liner}}s.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: She will make you do some really weird things using telepathy: for example, 48 hours of uncontrollable vomiting upon hearing the word "parsley".
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: At one point, she was in the Hellfire Club.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Her father was cold, uncaring, sadistic and physically abusive, her mother was a neglectful drug user, her older sister was identical to their father, and her younger sister couldn't care less about her. The only family member who cared about her became a drug addict (thanks to his father's horrible treatment to him), and when she thought things would be better to her, her friend was killed in front of her, another friend was a bitch who manipulated her, and her LoveInterest dumped her because she was a mutant. She also used to enjoy torture, mind-rape, followed by setting hunting dogs on the nightly victims (yes, really), corporate corruption, manipulation, deceit, and forcing opponents to kill themselves during her villain years. Shaw required her to help killing her two best friends to become White Queen.
* DeadpanSnarker: It makes her appear even colder at some points.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Scott Lobdell's version had almost nothing in common with the CorruptCorporateExecutive supremacist MindRape ColdBloodedTorture fetishist that she used to be. Instead, she became a excellent teacher doing genuinely good actions while [[GoodFeelsGood feeling good about it]]. However, later in ''ComicBook/GenerationX'', she was strongly hinted to have murdered a police officer looking into her sister's death (at Emma's hands). GrantMorrison and some other writers returned her closer to her roots again, according to some it made her more interesting, but played her as a complete [[TheHedonist hedonistic]] JerkAss, which sat badly with those who were introduced to her through ''Generation X'', because it put all the CharacterDevelopment she had during seven years in a trash bin. Later other writers attempted to either return her to the less extreme portrayal or attempt to integrate the two.
* DefrostingIceQueen: She is in no danger of defrosting completely anytime soon. Since she was already defrosting in the ''Generation X'', but then Morrison reverted her into even more of an ice queen than when she was a villain, any defrosting now still seems like a regression. However, in some chapters, she seems to be [[{{Chickification}} melting]].
* DependingOnTheWriter: A BrokenBird with a SugarAndIcePersonality, [[TheAtoner trying to atone for her past sins]] and [[IJustWantToBeLoved just wanting to be loved]], or an amoral JerkSue SadistTeacher with no sense of ethics who [[MoralMyopia is praised for]] being a textbook extreme [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] serial-rapist, torture-fetishist, supremacist, and otherwise all-around BastardGirlfriend? Basically, the answer seems to be that she has been portrayed as two (three, four...) entirely different types of people over the years.
* DyeHard: InUniverse example. Her natural hair color is brown.
* EvilFeelsGood: More intensely during the Hellfire Club days, but DependingOnTheWriter, still maintains similar patterns.
* EvilMentor: Sebastian Shaw
* EvilPaysBetter: Hellfire Club days.
* EvilTeacher: Hellfire Club days.
* FireWaterJuxtaposition: Used to contrast her with Jean when she first enters Scott's life. Emma is constantly associated with ice and the cold because of her surname "Frost", her [[WomanInWhite all-white attire]] and her cool temperament, and she resembles an ice sculpture when in her organic diamond form; Jean is constantly associated with fire and warmth because of her red hair, her codename "Phoenix" and her unpredictable temper, and her psionic powers frequently manifest as flames.
* FreakyFridayFlip: Pulled off one with Storm in her Hellfire Club days, in an attempt to destroy the X-Men from within.
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Her father had her compete with her sisters for the right to be his heir (her brother had the good sense to stay out of it. Consequently, he was the sibling she was closest to). Her rivalry with her eldest sister, Adrienne, became so bad that it eventually went [[CainAndAbel fatal]].
* GoodFeelsGood: In a number of occasions, she had expressed how much she was trying to be a good person and liked to do "the right things". She does have a bad conscience though, enjoys earning approval from Scott, and has been praised for a number of good deeds, although recurrently [[ShootTheDog a bit extreme]]. However, she seems to enjoy earning approval from Scott, and some of her teammates or students.
* GuiltComplex: As explicitly stated on ''Astonishing X-Men'' #18.
* GrandTheftMe: Happened once involuntarily with Iceman. Back then Iceman really wasn't living up to the potential of his powers. The minute Emma entered his body, she used his abilities in ways he couldn't imagine, which eventually left Iceman more than a little envious.
* TheHedonist: DependingOnTheWriter.
* [[HeroWithAnFInGood Heroine With An F In Good]]: Occasionally improves.
* HeelFaceTurn: After a fashion. It's kind of funny, she just sort of "fell into" hanging with the X-Men. She was comatose for a long while and in their care, and revived right in the middle of the big Phalanx mega-crossover. She escaped with the rest of the X-Men and, having nowhere else to go, just wound up helping them.
* HotTeacher: fits this trope to a T.
* JerkJustifications: Emma was originally presented as a textbook sociopath, somebody extremely inclined towards being very bad, who has no illusions about the "severe warts on her soul", on-off trying to learn how to be good, and stumbling along the way a lot.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite her aloof behavior and extreme methods, she genuinely cares about the mutant race and her students.
* KarmaHoudini: She used to torture captive people to death for sexual gratification. Yet isn't serving multiple life-sentences. She ''pays'' in occasional bad conscience for some of the many horrible things she does, and the tragedies of losing her students, but it's never enough to make her stop doing very morally objectionable things.
* KindheartedCatLover: Maybe not exactly kindhearted, but she's a cat lover.
* KnightTemplar: She's incredibly ruthless, brutal, and uncompromising, but she's fiercely protective of her students and allies and is greatly invested in helping mutantkind advance and have a better tomorrow. She's just FAR less touchy about using extreme force to achieve her goals and deal with anyone who tries to harm her or those she has sworn to protect.
* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: Invoked. She always wears a white costume whereas Selene, the Black queen, usually wears a black verion of it.
* MamaBear: Seriously, do NOT threaten her students. ...On the other hand, originally (as per the ''Firestar'' miniseries) she regularly tortured them when dissatisfied with their progress or wanted to get a point across. She is currently trying to be a better teacher, however, but is still not above occasionally violating them if she deems it necessary, such as the Elixir case. In her defense, Elixir had just attacked Colossus, one of her [[http://i45.tinypic.com/xdi0zs.jpg best friends]], and others X-Men had done worst threats to their own students.
** She can even becomes this for teen Jean Grey if she wants to despite she dislikes the younger girl. Granted, at the time teen Jean is among those who have been psychically attacked by Lady Xorn, a.k.a. older Jean Grey from yet another future timeline. But it's quite impressive Emma would like to stand up for her despite she strongly opposed modern Cyclops' decision for allowing Past X-Men to join Cyclops' X-Men. That being said, Emma, along with the Cuckoos, are still curb-stomped by Lady Xorn, and teen Jean has to be the one who ultimately defeat her older self.
-->'''Emma''': No one said anything about a metal-masked Jean Grey from the future and no one said anything about '''you beating the hell out of yourself'''. You want to psychically battle someone, pick on someone who absolutely despises you.
* ManipulativeBitch: Even after the HeelFaceTurn
* MeaningfulName: In her villain days, she wasn't really evil in an "ice queen" manner, and in fact outwardly played the role of a benevolent friendly and somewhat nerdy headmaster, so "Frost" didn't really mean anything until Morrison decided it did. Post-Morrison, her surname also serves to highlight the OppositesAttract nature of her relationship with Scott ("'''Frost'''" and "'''Summer'''s"--get it?).
* MindRape: [[MoralMyopia She thoroughly loves this trope.]]
* MostCommonSuperpower: Frost is one of the very few superheroines known to have breast implants.
* MsFanservice: Emma Frost gets quite a few scenes where she's wearing even less than usual.
* MyGreatestFailure: She did not take the deaths of the original Hellions well. In fact, this is partly what precipitated her HeelFaceTurn.
* NighInvulnerable: She eventually gained a "secondary mutation" that lets her shapeshift into a form that is living diamond. This makes her extremely difficult to hurt, but disables her PsychicPowers until she reverts to her fleshy form.
* OddFriendship: with Wolverine. Also a FanPreferredCouple. In an ironic twist, out of all the ComicBook/NewMutants, she has the most relaxed friendship with Sam Guthrie.
** In ''ComicBook/AllNewXMen'', she befriends teen Jean Grey! Everyone on the X-Men were more than a little freaked out by this.
* OfCorsetsSexy: Hellfire Club days.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: Takes this attitude towards many things.
** DisproportionateRetribution: Towards plenty of regular people who have simply somewhat annoyed her.
* PetTheDog: She has turned very loyal to her students, genuinely loved Cyclops; and although she started out heavily into rape, torture, bondage, brainwashing, and slavery, [[MoralMyopia she was later shown as extremely opposed to the real-world variants]].
* {{Pride}}: Even post HeelFaceTurn she's rather arrogant.
* ProgressivelyPrettier: In-universe example: she was HollywoodHomely in her teenage years (her origin mini-series had her shown and treated as 'girl next door' pretty) but has made several plastic surgeries to look beautiful. She's also one of the few comic book characters to [[MostCommonSuperPower admit that she's had breast implants.
* PsychicPowers: which she can't use when in her NighInvulnerable mode.
* RichBitch: Even post HeelFaceTurn.
* SecondLove: She was Cyclops's second longest lasting girlfriend after Jean Grey, but alas, it didn't work out in the end.
* SmugSuper: Her problem is that she's good and she knows it.
* SoProudOfYou: To Kitty in ''Giant Size Astonishing X-Men'' #1 and Hisako in the anime.
* SpotlightStealingSquad (seems to get more attention in the comics now, than women who've been in the team far longer).
* {{Stripperific}}: She does it on purpose as a way of making it easier to distract and manipulate men; as far as she's concerned, it's just another way of automatically putting the ball in her court.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: During ''ComicBook/GenerationX'', beneath her aloof and apathetic behavior, Emma was a tortured soul who [[IJustWantToBeLoved just wanted to be loved]] and [[IJustWantToHaveFriends trusted by her teammates]]. This was carried over by some writers in later X-Books.
* SurvivorGuilt: Due to being the sole survivor of the Genosha massacre.
* TeamMom: To her students at least.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Subverted or played straight, DependingOnTheWriter.
* VillainBallMagnet: Emma struggles to fight her darker urges, and on a few occasions she gives in.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Her relationship with certain other X-women. In the mini-series that reintroduced Nova (the flaming Herald of Galactus, not the other guy), she's this to quite a few superheroines in the Marvel Universe given the number that showed up to her birthday party. They might not like the way she does things, but respect what she can do and she's nothing if not interesting to the more straight-laced heroines.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: She genuinely seeks to help mutantkind and protect her students, but has some serious flaws in the way she goes about it.
* WomanInWhite: Her defining visual characteristic, in contrast to Selene's WomanInBlack. In New Charles Xavier School for Mutants, however, she becomes WomanInBlack.
* WorkingWithTheEx: Keeps being a part of the Cyclops-led faction of the X-Men even after they broke up.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Type A.

Emma began her role in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse as an X-Men supervillainess under the title of White Queen of Hellfire Club. She first appeared in the storyline ComicBook/TheDarkPhoenixSaga, and later becomes the primary villain in original run of ''ComicBook/NewMutants Vol. 1'' with her own team from her Massachussets Academy, Hellions.
After she's recovered from a coma and learns that her Hellions has been slaughtered by the [[KillerRobot Sentinels]] led by a supervillain Trevor Fitzroy during The Phalanx Covenant crossover. Her guilt over her students' deaths led to her eventual reform. Her first role as TheAtoner is in ''ComicBook/GenerationX'' (1994) where she, along with Sean Cassidy a.k.a. Banshee, becomes the mentor for the team. She's also one of main characters in ''ComicBook/NewXMen'' where her infamous affair with ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} happened. In ''New X-Men: Academy X'' (2004), she becomes the leader of new Hellions Squad, this time associated with Xavier Institute. Her team is also the rival of second New Mutants team, echoing the rivalry between the two original groups of the similar names. During the [[ComicBook/HouseOfM M-Day]], most of her team members retain their powers, with the exception of Tag (Brian Cruz) and Specter (Dallas Gibson). Later in ''ComicBook/AstonishingXMen Vol. 3'' (2004-2013), she co-leads X-Men alongside Cyclops after Jean Grey's death. In this series, she also has antagonistic relationship with Kitty Pryde who is reluctant to accept Emma as a leader and teacher.
During the miniseries ''X-Men: Phoenix - Warsong'', it's revealed that during her comatose, her egg cells are used as genetic template to clone several of identical telepath mutant girls, five of which would later known as the Stepford Cuckoos. The clones refer Emma as their "mother", title whose usage she later accepts. She also personally acts as their tutor.
After ComicBook/SecretInvasion and during ComicBook/DarkReign, she's introduced as a member of ComicBook/NormanOsborn's Cabal and X-Men (''Dark X-Men''), only to later betray the team during a confrontation with ComicBook/XForce. She took [[ComicBook/SubMariner Namor]], [[ComicBook/CloakAndDagger Cloak, and Dagger]] along with her to rejoined the rest of the mutants. An enraged Osborn sent ComicBook/DarkAvengers and Dark X-Men to kill her and Namor, but failed spectacularly.
In ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen, she's one of five mutants who are possessed by the Phoenix Force and becomes one of Phoenix Five. Under its influence, she does several terrible things which she later regrets. She lost her portion of Phoenix Force power after Cyclops, who becomes more corrupted by the Phoenix Force, forcibly took it from her. She's later in custody of ComicBook/NewAvengers members [[ComicBook/LukeCageHeroForHire Luke Cage]], ComicBook/{{Mockingbird}}, ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}, and [[ComicBook/FantasticFour the Thing]]. There, she survives an assassination attempt by the Purifiers.
She's later freed from her custody by Cyclops, SelfDemonstrating/{{Magneto}}, and ComicBook/{{Magik}}. Although she was still furious with Cyclops for what happened in the climax of Avengers vs X-Men above, she agreed to join with Cyclops and Magneto once more and along with Magik, began searching for new Mutants. She becomes one of leader in Cyclops’ new X-Men team and she’s present when Cyclops freed several mutants from their human captors. New Charles Xavier School for Mutants is founded.
Later, when [[ComicBook/AllNewXMen the timely-displaced original five X-Men]] come to join the school, she becomes the tutor for teen Jean Grey in the use of her power. Again, they began with restrained relationship, but to everyone’s surprise, they eventually reconcile their differences and begin to bond, after a fashion.

* BreakoutCharacter: Easily the most prominent and popular 21st century addition to the X-Men.

* [[ByronicHero Byronic Heroine]]: Rare female example, but DependingOnTheWriter, it can be well done or extremely disturbing.
* CainAndAbel: She and her sister, Adrienne.
* ColdBloodedTorture: One of her favorite psionic experiences is inducing extreme levels of pain, often in people already held captive. She has continued to violate and traumatise people over the years, frequently in combination with SmugSuper {{One Liner}}s.

She also used to enjoy torture, mind-rape, followed by setting hunting dogs on the nightly victims (yes, really), corporate corruption, manipulation, deceit, and forcing opponents to kill themselves during her villain years. Shaw required her to help killing her two best friends to become White Queen.
* DeadpanSnarker: It makes her appear even colder at some points.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Scott Lobdell's version had almost nothing in common with the CorruptCorporateExecutive supremacist MindRape ColdBloodedTorture fetishist that she used to be. Instead, she became a excellent teacher doing genuinely good actions while [[GoodFeelsGood feeling good about it]]. However, later in ''ComicBook/GenerationX'', she was strongly hinted to have murdered a police officer looking into her sister's death (at Emma's hands).

However, in some chapters, she seems to be [[{{Chickification}} melting]].
* DependingOnTheWriter: A BrokenBird with a SugarAndIcePersonality, [[TheAtoner trying to atone for her past sins]] and [[IJustWantToBeLoved just wanting to be loved]], or an amoral JerkSue SadistTeacher with no sense of ethics who [[MoralMyopia is praised for]] being a textbook extreme [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] serial-rapist, torture-fetishist, supremacist, and otherwise all-around BastardGirlfriend? Basically, the answer seems to be that she has been portrayed as two (three, four...) entirely different types of people over the years.

* FreakyFridayFlip: Pulled off one with Storm in her Hellfire Club days, in an attempt to destroy the X-Men from within.
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Her father had her compete with her sisters for the right to be his heir (her brother had the good sense to stay out of it.

* [[HeroWithAnFInGood Heroine With An F In Good]]: Occasionally improves.
* HeelFaceTurn: After a fashion. It's kind of funny, she just sort of "fell into" hanging with the X-Men. She was comatose for a long while and in their care, and revived right in the middle of the big Phalanx mega-crossover. She escaped with the rest of the X-Men and, having nowhere else to go, just wound up helping them.
