  • Emma's backstory was tragic but her brothers... Dude that is so fuck up what he went through!
  • @rashrasha921
    Emma is my favorite comic book character by far. Her drive to keep her students safe, and her ability to do whatever she personally thinks is good rather than what the collective group wants is awesome to see. She’s just so ambitious.
  • @jimkirk4357
    I remember always rooting for her when reading the X-Men. She wasn't evil in her heart, just morally ambiguous. A bad girl with potential for being good who when shown love and friendship, turned her back on evil doer's. Her redemption arc was the MOST compelling story in the entire X-Men saga.
  • @MsTeo91
    I love Emma Frost she’s one of my favourite X - Men characters
  • @wandagrey2528
    I can clearly see emma Frost story as 9 episodes disney plus show
  • @xrey83
    So many great characters in the x-men universe with interesting stories... but just like Batman and Superman, they want to keep using Wolverine for solo x-men movies.
  • @jdjjdjd2667
    Emma is a complex character. When she's got your back she's a true ally. When she's against U LOOK OUT
  • @JasonAlredge
    It is good to finally learn the origin of Emma Frost. It was so awesome and fascinating.
  • @thunderbear9418
    Emma Frost is my favorite character. She has been ever since I was a little boy. Her story is amazing, her personality is rich and interesting. She's just delightful to read
  • @antwan1357
    One thing they never mention with Emma is if she allowed her nails to go to fine points and then she transformed to diamond hardness . She would have dangerous cutting edges. She never uses this though.
  • @SpiderDan2099
    I would love if the MCU made the character Whitney Frost from Agent Carter the ancestor of Emma as they slowly bring X-Men in the mix.
  • @lorensims4846
    Thank you for this. I've seen Emma pop in and out of stories since the mid-'80s but she always seemed like trouble. This backstory really helps.
  • @wandagrey2528
    Love Emma Frost and jean grey and rouge and scylops and scarlet witch my favourite x-men characters of all time
  • @evohumans
    Emma Frost is one of my favorite characters, she's portrayed as a supervillain, and she is, but she's not at the same time, she's intriguing.
  • @sgpoet47
    Great EMMA FROST spotlight... I wish the HELLIONS got more shine! They were an interesting group especially in the NECROSHA arc
