## Background

### 1978 - 1996: Emma Frost

Emma Frost was born to a Boston mercantile family, which arrived from England in the 1600's & took part in American Revolutionary War. The second of four, Emma had an older sister, younger brother & younger half sister. Unknown to their family or themselves, the three Frost sisters were mutants, whose telepathic abilities matured upon reaching their puberty. Deemed unfit in her father's eyes, Emma produced low-grade point averages and was a social outcast while attending the Snow Valley School for Girls.

As a result of her emerging powers, Emma began to experience severe migraines. Shortly after this, Emma made everyone in the school unconscious during a mental breakdown. Professor Charles Xavier detected her presence & took Dr. Moira MacTaggert with him to convince Emma to join their school but she & her father refused. After the emergence of her powers, Emma used them to excel in all aspects of her life.

After her brother's sexuality was revealed to the family, her father began to alienate Christian, resulting in his attempted suicide, further straining Emma's relationship with her father. When it came time for their father to choose a worthy heir to the family fortune, Christian was automatically dismissed due to his drug problem & sexuality. While the older sister Adrienne seemed the most obvious choice, their father chose Emma but she refused to be her father's heir.

### 1996 - 2000: Emma Frost

After taking a sum of her father's money, Emma dyed her hair blonde & enrolled into Empire State University. Here she met a fellow telepath, Astrid Bloom & she began to train Emma in the use of her abilities. When Emma's parents found out about her powers, they sent her to a mental institution where she was drugged. When she came to, she influenced a guard to beat everyone up & escaped the clinic.

Needing money for school, Emma ended up as a stripper for the Hellfire Club by making men see what they wanted to see. Tired of being mistreated for months, she finally snapped against Sebastian Shaw, an important member of the club, & threatened to kill him. To her surprise, he proceeded to invite her to rise in the ranks & rid the club of those who were a threat to mutants. After Shaw chose Emma over two other women and brutally murdered them in front of her, their union was official.

### 2000 - 2004: White Queen

Shaw eventually discovered the current White King, Edward Buckman & the White Queen, Paris Seville, were creating Sentinels to hunt mutants down behind his back. After surviving an encounter with one of these machines, Shaw had Emma mind-control Buckman to kill everyone in the room, including Paris. To complete their take of power, Shaw strangled Buckman & made Emma the new White Queen.

With the continuous growth of anti-mutant sentiment, Shaw believed his regular grunts were insufficient as guards and soldiers, so Emma convinced him to open a school & fulfill her life-long dream. He granted her wish, creating the modern Massachusetts Academy in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts. During this period, Emma also began a financial empire as the majority stockholder of her now deceased father's multi-billion dollar conglomerate. Despite her youth, Emma became a chairperson of the board & CEO of Frost International.

Together, she & Shaw proved to be a formidable opponent to the X-Men while the Hellions, the Massachusetts Academy team, caused trouble for the New Mutants. Despite being enemies for a long time, Emma Frost informed the X-Men that the Inner Circle was under attack by an unknown source, one that could potentially become a threat to them. As she discussed it with Xavier, the academy was attacked by Shaw's nephew Trevor Fitzroy & his Sentinels. After an intense battle, Frost was plunged into a coma & most of the Hellions met their untimely demise. During her unconscious state, Dr. John Sublime harvested over 1000 eggs from her to begin experimentation before she was placed under the care of the X-Men at the X-Mansion.

### 2004 - 2005: Emma Frost

Nearly a year later, Emma finally awoke from her coma. When she discovered the fate of her Hellions, she broke down & began to realize that her training had been insufficient & that her students would likely have been better off with the Xavier. He disagreed & offered her a teaching position at the Institute. As things became coming together for Emma, her company took a major hit on the stock market, placing the institute in financial jeopardy. Following Xavier's advice to set an example, she resisted using her telepathy & reluctantly asked her sister Adrienne for help. Adrienne was not keen on financially rescuing her sister but after discovering the students were secretly mutants, she decided to help.

For a few weeks, Adrienne hid her true intentions until she kidnapped some of the students & locked them in a mind prison. After Emma & the others released themselves, Adrienne revealed she had planned for the kids to die solely to see her suffer while standing powerless to save her students again. Unfortunately, Adrienne's bold revenge plan ended in Synch's death & Emma murdering her sister, which shook some of the students' trust in their teacher. The event also led to Emma manifesting a Secondary Mutation: the ability to transform her body into unbreakable diamond. After taking some months off, Emma returned to the Xavier Institute as Co-Headmistress as Moira had stepped down to focus on her research center.

### 2005 - 2010: Emma Frost

Back at the Xavier Institute to teach, Emma put the effort forward to become more friendly with its residents. She immediately took the quintuplet psychic sisters, the Stepford Cuckoos, under her wing. She also became close friends with Beast & developed an attraction for Cyclops despite his relationship with Jean Grey. However, there was a void growing between Scott & Jean so Emma offered telepathic counseling that eventually grew into a psychic affair. When Jean discovered the two together on the astral plane, she brutally tore through Emma's memories, forcing her to remember all the things she'd repressed in her past like her failure to keep the Hellions alive.

Shortly after her affair with Cyclops had been made public, Jean soon left the school & Emma was again seen in bad light by the students. Despite this, Cyclops & Emma later formalized their relationship though several of their teammates were none too happy with it. As a result, Wolverine flatly insulted & fought Scott while Beast stated that he no longer liked him. However, their feelings towards Cyclops had no effect on Emma as both stated that they still trusted her. In time, the other X-Men eventually came to accept the relationship as both Scott & Emma managed to reconcile with them in their own ways.

The relationship continued for nearly two years before Emma reluctantly ended it. Though she was sure Scott loved her & was loyal, she knew that his love for Jean would never cease to be. Her decision was proven to be the right one when Scott resumed his relationship with Jean. Emma spent the remainder of the year focusing her time on her students. With the help of Scott, she reorganized the educational & training program to incorporate training squads under teacher-advisers, so that the students could become prepared for the day they may need to defend themselves. Emma got her own squad, naming it the Hellions after her previous team.

	+ ***Superhuman Strength:*** At her peak, she is able to lift approximately 2 tons.
	+ ***Superhuman Stamina:*** While transformed, Frost's muscle tissue becomes infinitely more efficient than the organic musculature of normal humans. Her muscles produce almost no fatigue toxins during physical activity, granting her almost limitless superhuman stamina.
	+ ***Superhuman Durability:*** Frost's diamond form renders her highly resistant to most forms of physical injury. She is able to resist great impact forces, such as being repeatedly struck with superhuman force, without being injured. Her body is also resistant to temperature extremes. Frost is also self sustained while transformed, requiring no food, water or oxygen.
	+ ***Psychic Immunity:*** Emma has shown to be immune to other telepathic powers in this form.

* **Familial Immunity:** Emma's telepathic powers are unable to read or affect her siblings' minds. Adrienne would take advantage of this ability during their plots to manipulate Emma.
