I looked around and haven't seen a similar topic... and I'm just curious to know, what code name would people give her if given the chance? I mean...all the X-Men have a super name, why not Emma? White Queen doesn't really count since it was a Hellfire title, Perfection is nice...but...yeah... any ideas?
Emma Frost
Character » Emma Frost appears in 6154 issues.
Emma Frost is a fictional character originating from Marvel Comics. Originally starting off as a super villain and enemy of the X-Men, during which she was the White Queen of the Hellfire Club, Emma Frost is a powerful mutant telepath who can transform herself into organic diamond. She has become a prominent member of the X-Men. A gifted teacher, Emma is renowned for her beauty, wit, and sense of fashion.
What Super Hero name would you give Emma?
I don't think they should give her a codename, she's pretty much above them. It's the same reason we don't see her sporting an X-Men uniform.
**I recall someone doing this topic awhile back, so don't be surprised if a mod swoops in and locks this.
This is pretty funny but when I first heard of Emma Frost, I thought she was going to have ice powers like Iceman. Then I read about her and saw that she had diamond skin. I guess Diamond Queen sounds good to me.
"Paragon. "
As in 'Paragon of Virtue'? That's not really her style ;) Plus, Marvel already has at least two other (non-connected) Paragons.

"I like a mame she used in an alternative future in the Young X-Men, Diamondheart. "
I do kinda like that. However, it was more a reflection over her diamond powers. Wasn't she stuck in diamond form in that alternate future?
"Emma Frost the White Queen" was always very dramatic & regal. Connotations of being pure (white) yet better than the rest of us plebians (queen). They could just shorten her name to just Frost in the same way that Dani Moonstar was shortened to just Moonstar. "Frost" certainly fits her chosen colour-scheme & usual cold nature.
I must admit, I hate it when there's a big & influential character in a codenamed based book that doesn't have a codename. At least Illyana has gone back to Magik. Jubilee was technically a nickname abbreviated from Jubilation. We've all gotten used to Kitty Pryde just being Kitty instead of Shadowcat (I guess she outgrew it), but more than anything I still hate that Jean Grey didn't have a codename for SO long.
frost works. just sounds good. maybe her codename shouldn't apply to her powers. i think most people shouldn't, as it gives that little bit away to whoever's listening. if she were just i dunno codename: "soccer mom" or "george" no one would know what to expect. its always to tactical advantage to get info and bleed none.

@ Aegis: Jean also went as Phoenix for a while too after Marvel Girl...then again, I'm not sure if that was even her, I still can't get the whole Madelyne-Phoenix-Jean-Cocoon thing straight lol
" @xerox-kitty: Wasn't Jean Grey's codename Marvel Girl? Or am i thinking of a different character..? "She was Marvel Girl, then Phoenix, then Marvel Girl, then just Jean Grey, and Phoenix again after many years of being just plain old 'Jeeeeean!'. She was just 'Jean Grey' in the original Animated Series, which never made sense considering all the other experienced X-Men had codenames.

" Frostie,Snowflake, or Wicked White Witch. "Doesn't exactly strike the right tune of someone as powerful as Emma IMO.
LOL.
I did this thread a while back and most people either said she didn't need one or that she should keep White Queen as her super name.
Diamondheart is great IMO.
I always liked the idea of Flawless
it's a diamond reference and nice insight to her personal feelings about, well....herself
I also just like Frost
The White Queenis my favorite but it's too obviously a reference to the Hellfire Club so I'd like something like Majesty too
"Nice choices. Particularly the Flawless one.
