Honestly I love Emma frost from Generation x to her reboot on New Xmen and the Joss Wheadon version... she is poorly written now... you make good observations about Scott and Jean and Scott and Emma... but I was never a fan of Scott until he got with emma... he had a edge to him.. just like if jean got with logan.. she wouldve have a edginess to her because those are the type of people to bring it out of them.. as for the Emma stealing Jeans shine, I
totally believe she was Psylocke replacement who I love both.. they made
the telepathy cool to me compared to jean and prof x.. Psylocke died and then they brought Emma in... bristish psylocke was the prim rich model chick coming from a high society family when she joined the Xmen people felt uneasy around her didn't trust her becuz she was always just goin into people's minds making decisions for them the misuse of her abilities. Sounds like Emma to me but a different but similar story, did people forget the xmen didnt even trust her when she first got the asian body, and Cyclops was slowly fantasizing about her when she was on the blue team and gold team started. But the writers messed it up, and blamed that pyslocke was psychically seducing him (sounds familiar) as time past they made Psylocke a non factor with one liners with the wrong writer not paying attention to her or just not liking her ( I remember a writer sayin that in a wizard magazine) after onslaught came thru jean grey became the "it" girl again no more blue or gold teams.. psylocke had the crimson dawn no one knew what to do with that.. which I thought fit her and threw her away after she fought the shadow
king and lost the use of her telepathy (sounds like emma now) Emma may not switch bodies but she had a upgrade of boobs and a nose job. She
Snuck her way into the hellfire club while psylockes family was part of the British hellfire club.. now emma is dealing with what all past "it" girls deal with, bad writers or writers who hate her.. like Psylocke is back.now the writer writing her good is the all female xmen she sneaky, using different pyshic weapons instead of the knife, I loved when emma psychic lightning M in Gen X. These women use their abilites in a manipulative and physical ways. When it comes to jean, seeing her fight sabretooth and watchin her throw him around is the jean I like to see.. if anybody had anything handed to her is and always be is jean, she the first lady. Think about it she Phoenix, (thats another issue I have with jean or the writers let jean have the Phoenix stop giving it to her and then takin it back, shes the perfect host let her keep it, like Rachel)after charles or now that hes is dead she is the most powerful mutant, shes a omega.. emma isnt a omega mutant neither is psylocke and she has the same powers as jean
