The Hellfire Club had numerous wealthy and influential
members like Sebastian
Shaw, but there was only one White Queen. Emma Frost was the former White Queen of the Hellfire Club
before joining the X-Men. A
powerful dominatrix with a high and mighty attitude living up to her name, Emma
can turn her body to diamond to deflect bullets and has telepathic powers capable
of rivaling the toughest of mutants.Emma started out as a rich kid from Snow Valley,
Massachusetts. She lived with her
father, mother, two sisters and her brother and surprisingly Emma cared the
least about her wealth and was a shy girl in school. She was not the A student her father constantly pressured
her to be, until she hit puberty and her telepathic powers began to
surface.Using her telepathic powers Emma not only got better
grades, but found out about her teacher’s secret crush on her. Returning his feelings she unthinkingly
kisses him. The next day the
teacher has left after being blackmailed by Emma’s father who filmed the entire
event. As revenge Emma found out several
secrets about her family: her father was cheating on her mother. Emma also accidentally found out her
brother was secretly in a relationship with another man. When her father finds out about her
tactic of using her families secrets to her advantage he is impressed and wants
to give part of his fortune to her, but she refuses when she finds out her
brother was put into a mental asylum by her father.Emma got away from her family and struck out on her
own. She became involved with Troy
Killkelly, whom she discovered was in the mob. They pretended to kidnap money to extort money from her
family, but then the mob decided to really kidnap and kill her. After Emma won a telepathic battle
against another telepath known as Astrid Bloom she left and later got a job at
the Hellfire Club.The Hellfire Club was a group run by mutants that considered
themselves better than other mutants.
The members of the group were named after chess pieces and Emma was
given the name White Queen. She
left the Club, not by her own choice. When she ended up in a coma after the Club was attacked by
Trevor Fitzroy, a time-traveling mutant, she was later revived in the Xavier
Institute. After the Generation X story arc when Emma helped
battle Phalanx with the other X-Men, Emma decided to teach on Genosha, an
island inhabited by mutants. She
was forced to leave when the island was wiped out during the Sentinel
Genocide. She was able to survive
when her second power surfaced: the ability to transform her body into diamond. When leaving Genosha Emma decided to go to the Xavier
Institute and teach there. She
began to have a telepathic affair with Cyclops. After Jean Grey, Cyclops’ girlfriend, died, Emma had an open
relationship with Cyclops. Despite
her close relationship with Cyclops, Emma was secretly still in contact with
the Hellfire club.She would go on to join Norman Osborn’s team, Cabal, on the
condition that any captured mutants would not be treated poorly. After joining Osborn in the Dark Reign
story arc, Emma fought with the Void in the next story arc, Utopia. She managed to defeat Void while in her
Diamond form, but a piece of him was trapped within her. After this event she was warned to
never transform back into her regular form again since the Void could return. The Void was removed for her body when
she and Cyclops traveled into her mind with the help of Xavier’s telepathic
abilities.The White Queen will be making an appearance in X-Men: First Class and be played by
January Jones (Mad Men).
