Biography

Early Years

Emma was born to a wealthy Boston family and raised in a life of apparent privilege. When her mutant ability of telepathy surfaced, she eventually used it as well as her natural intelligence to rise through college and the business world.

Emma secured a majority share in an electronics, ship building and aircraft manufacturing company at a very young age and took on the role of chair and CEO, renaming the company Frost Enterprises - but her personal acquisitive streak was not yet satisfied. The world of business offered all sorts of rewards, but it didn't convince Emma that she would really be leaving her mark on the world, so she took an interest in a private school, the Massachusetts Academy in Snow Valley, MA, where she eventually finagled her way into the role of headmistress. She used the Academy to shape the next generation of power players, including the next generation of mutants.

After a collaboration with Sebastian Shaw and his company to pitch the initial Sentinel project to the US government, the project was shifted to a more anti-mutant stance without Emma's knowledge and subsequently declined by the government. When Emma withdrew her company's funding, a vengeful employee named Donald Pierce took a prototype Sentinel and unleashed it on the Academy, killing most of the students, with Haroun al-Rashid and Emma being the only survivors.

Living At The X-Mansion

Emma was brought to the school after her secondary mutation emerged, the ability to transform her body into an impenetrable diamond shell. When she recovered, she became a staff member at the school, as well as resuming control of her business and her role as the White Queen of the Hellfire Club. While at Xavier's, Emma acted as a mentor to a number of students, including Sarah Morlocke, Jono Starsmore, and Manuel de la Rocha, the latter whom she met in Europe after having been abducted by Sebastian Shaw and imprisoned in a mental institution. In exchange for the cooperation of the young empath, Emma promised to take him with her to the school, collecting Shaw's son Shinobi along the way.

Further Information

Emma chose to leave Xavier's school in 2004, to focus more on her business ventures. While maintaining her role with the Hellfire Club, she was a part of Pete Wisdom's scheme to bring down the Inner Circle of the Hellfire Club by posing as the White King.

Since the fall of the Hellfire Club's Inner Circle, Emma has faded into the background to focus more on her business activities, while quietly funding X-Force from the shadows. However, the global financial crisis that began in late 2007 has led to difficulties in maintaining this funding in its current form and Emma has recently decided to take a more hands-on approach the the affairs of X-Force.
