Powers & History: The White Queen is a high-order telepath, but she may also be a telekinetic (see Gen X #19). Recently she has manifested a secondary mutation that turns her skin into organic diamond.
When Emma's powers first manifested, she could not control them, and couldn't block out the thoughts of others. Her parents, unable to deal with a girl who heard voices, put Emma in a mental institution, which was very traumatic. Finally, Emma realized that if she could hear the voices, she might be able to talk back, and took control of a guard, forcing him to release her and take her away. Emma came to New York, and enrolled in Empire State University.
One night, Emma was in the process of telepathically gleaning insider information from businessmen when she was approached by Harry Leland, who eventually would invite her to join the Hellfire Club. That same night, Emma ran into Dark Beast, fresh from the "Age of Apocalypse", and helped him start to straighten out his disoriented mind. This led to a quasi-partnership, the details of which are still unknown. Emma actually started at the club as a dancer, and used her powers to rob patrons once she got them into the VIP rooms. One night she was approached by Professor Xavier and Moira MacTaggert, who tried to convince her to join them. However, the lure of power was too strong and Emma resisted, forcing Xavier to wipe her mind of the encounter. Emma rose in importance due to her mutant abilities, until she came to the attention of Sebastian Shaw, probably through his associate Leland. At Shaw's side, Emma was instrumental in effecting his coup and takeover of the club's Inner Circle. Emma was given the title of White Queen as her reward.
As the White Queen of the Hellfire Club, Emma was instrumental in the conversion of Phoenix to Dark Phoenix, as she was the designer of the device that gave Mastermind the ability to project his illusions at long range. She later tried to subvert the X-Men by switching bodies with Storm and kidnapping Kitty but the plan was thwarted by Storm, though using Emma's body. Emma also ran the young super-team known as the Hellions, and for a time was even able to brainwash their rivals, the New Mutants into serving her as well. Early in the Hellions' existence, she made a "special project" out of Firestar, whom she was grooming to assassinate Selene, the second Black Queen and her main rival for power. Emma ran the Hellions until they were killed by Trevor Fitzroy. In that same attack Frost herself was gravely injured, and presumed to be dead, given that Phoenix transferred her own mind into Emma's body.
Professor Xavier, however, believed that Frost had survived, because he didn't feel her death, so her body was kept in stasis in the Mansion. During an escape attempt by Sabretooth, an electrical discharge from an overloaded machine caught Frost and Iceman, waking Frost up and placing her mind in Iceman's body. She used his powers in fantastic ways to gain access to her Manhattan office, where she learned of her students' murders. Distraught to the point of "suicide by cop," Emma was finally tracked down by Xavier and Banshee and brought back to the Mansion, where her mind was put back in her body. When the Phalanx took over the Mansion and kidnapped the X-Men and assumed their forms, hunting for the next generation of mutants, Frost was freed from being their captive by Banshee and, with Sabretooth and Jubilee found and saved the neo-mutants. As personal penance for failing her students, she agreed to turn her Massachussetts Academy into an affiliate of the Xavier Institute, and became the headmistress of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, home base of Generation X.
Recently, when her investments took a big hit in the stock market, Emma was forced to ask her sister Adrienne for help, and wound up giving her the position of headmistress. However, Adrienne soon revealed herself to be a villain by trying to kill the Gen X kids in order to torture Emma, and then left the school to assume the mantle of White Queen II. Emma remained the headmistress through Adrienne's return, but after Adrienne set a bomb that killed Synch, Emma shot her sister and retreated back into alcohol. She funded many projects for the Gen X kids, but became increasingly cold and borderline psychotic, to the point where she violently mindwiped a cop who was asking about Adrienne. Following that, the Gen X kids all left the school, and Emma was recalled by Professor X, though she somehow ended up teaching in Genosha. When Cassandra Nova unleashed her Wild Sentinels and destroyed the mutant haven, Emma's class was killed with the rest of the mutants, but Emma manifested a new power: turning her skin to organic diamond. She was rescued by the X-Men, and though she initially disdained their motives, soon joined their cause.
Emma became mentor to the Stepford Cuckoos, but they rejected her influence when one of their member, Sophie, died to stop Kid Omega. She also began to seduce Cyclops into a telepathic affair, which Jean eventually discovered. Then Emma's diamond body was found shattered. Though initally Jean was suspected, it turned out to be Esme (one of the Cuckoos), acting through Beak and Angel IV (Emma's new pet project). Beast and Phoenix managed to piece Emma back together, and she returned to duty. The true mastermind of the attempted murder, however, was Xorn, who later revealed himself as Magneto IV.
Following M-Day, Emma effectively expelled all of the de-powered students and staff, and set the remaining students against each other in order to determine who would become the New X-Men. She had a particular grudge against X-23, but was unable to stop Cyclops from adding her to the list. More disturbingly, Emma has been meeting, telepathically or in person, with Shaw, Cassandra Nova and others who aim to form a new Hellfire Club. She appears to be a mole inside the X-Men, but exactly where her loyalties lie is unclear, as her love for Cyclops appears genuine, and she may in fact be trying to protect her team...
SAMPLE RP:
"There is no way, NO WAY that you are leaving!" Emma Exlaimed harshley reprimanding the student before her. The student had just requested a transfer to Xavier's institute. Frost wasn't about to let one of her students switch over to her rival school.
"But..Professor Frost.." The student trailed off as if he had forgotten what he was about to say. Emma smiled deviilishly inside. The child hadn't forgotten on his own..
"Now, why dont you go and get us both some tea..?" Emma asked briskly, smilling at the now oblivious youngster. The child nodded, a distant look in his eyes, and began to walk away..
