In your mind, did Scott and Emma commit adultery?

The way I saw it was that Jean and Scott had become remote. For me, the great emotional moment for Scott and Jean was when they ran out to die together on the moon during the Phoenix Saga. After Jean died, Scott ended up with a lot of other women. Scott was very attractive to women even though he didn't know it and I wanted to play around with that. Since he was becoming emotionally remote from Jean, because she was becoming more and more godlike, it just seemed he would naturally fall into the arms of someone more emotionally connected, which Emma actually was. Yes, it was a kind of adultery, but at the same time Jean wasn't being his wife anymore. I just felt that the spark between them had died out and it was time to give Scott someone else.

 COMIC URBAN LEGEND: Grant Morrison got the idea to use Emma Frost in his New X-Men run from an online fan.

STATUS: True.

 
The other week, in a previous Comic Book Urban Legends Revealed installment, I discussed how Colossus was replaced by Emma Frost during Grant Morrison’s New X-Men run – despite his initial writing of Colossus into the comic proposal, Morrison was denied use by Marvel, who had just killed off Colossus. 
 
 

But amazingly, we have a record of where Morrison got the IDEA to pick Emma to be his choice to replace Colossus!

A few years back, on Grant Morrison’s website (which you can find here), there was this one cool section called Digital Ink, where people could then send in questions to Morrison and he would reply.

While fans were waiting for Morrison’s New X-Men run to begin, reader Ken Kneisel sent Morrison the following question:

I’ve been pissing myself wondering if you’ll be using Emma (White Queen) Frost during your run.

Since GenX is being cancelled, we’ve got this horribly powerful telepathic leather fetishist Daddy’s (poor little rich) girl who straddles the fence between right and wrong just lying around, begging for a certain Scottish genius writer to snatch her up. Please make my day and tell me you’ve got big plans for her.

Morrison replied to this with:

I had no plans at all for Emma Frost but now that you mention it, man…

Soon after that, though, he had to change his plans, so he decided that he WOULD add Emma to his cast (and she worked well), and on his website a couple of weeks after Ken’s original post, Ken wrote in again, and Morrison replied :

I do have you to thank for the fact that Emma is a major part of my new X-MEN team, however. Wait till you see what I’ve done with her.

 
So to all those Emma fans out there, Ken is who you want to thank!

Its slightly sad that so many fans will need to read that to get what Morrison was trying to do. Thats why he is such a good writer, and considered that by so many, you can read what he just wrote in that paragraph in that actual story if you look hard enough. Not everything needs pages and pages of exposition. Morrison, smart writer.

Why did you get that impression reading this?
 
 It was not "give Scott to someone else", it was simply "give Scott someone else". So if anything the "someone else" he got was the piece of meat. (Not that I read it that way, but it would be closer). "

Why is the emphasis on Jean not being his wife anymore... she reached out to Scott.  It was Scott who wasn't being a husband anymore.

And as strained at the time, a telepathic affair is just as bad (if not worse) than the real thing when you're already married to a telepath. 

really we're back on this? i still cant belive its a question in anyone's mind that scott had an affair. im not mad at morrison for having scott do this, its a brilliant and (sadly) realistic move but that really dosnt make Scott any less of a douche. as a husband was Scott's job to stand by Jean NO MATTER WHAT and for someone who had already given up so much for her including a previous wife and child he gave up on her pretty easily. 

Jean's no saint either. 

Morrisons writing invites discussion. Thats meant to be a good thing, instead of writers trying to shoehorn in what characters actions are, in terms of good and bad. Wolverine takes a shower, this makes him good, Beast drinks milk from the container, Beast is doing a bad thing. He doesn't try to justify whether a characters actions are good or bad, he justifies why and how they may have done what they did, and its up to the reader to apply things such as good or bad, understandable or not, fair or not fair and so on. 

While I do believe that Jean becoming more "godlike" as he puts it did impede on her character's ability to remained stationed amongst the X-men and I have always believed Jean's return should absolutely, 100% exclude the Phoenix Force, Scott's shortcomings also drove a dagger into the relationship. 
 

Jean: I can't stand you being so distant all the time. It's driving me mad...
 
Scott: I can't make it feel like it used to..it's not...what's the point of it all coming out wrong? Read my mind, Jean.
 
Jean: No. Read my lips, nothing will break the bond between us. We both know that. But we've barely touched for months and right now this marriage seems very strange and cold, Scott.

" Jean's no saint either.  "

Yeah, still a dick move to cheat on your wife. Most husbands would, y'know, not be little girls and talk that kind of thing out, rather then getting Emma to dress up like his wife.

Jean had been eye-****ing Logan for years though, Scott mind-****ed Emma and he's Satan.

I'm not saying Jean was any better, and Scott probably should have called her out on that bullsh!t years ago. But if you're going to go bone someone else, have the good decency to either talk, or get a divorce.  "

" @FadeToBlackBolt: IMO, defending any of the three is like defending Hitler, Mao, and Stalin in a "who was less morally reprehensible" contest. You don't win, you just find out which one was less of a dick then the other two.  "

Jean was holding Scott back, Emma pushes him more and he's become an even better leader because of it.

This make me want to re-read my New X-Men Omnibus

" @The Dark Huntress: he wrote things right, good find huntress "

" This make me want to re-read my New X-Men Omnibus "

LOL :'D
But I think there's an Emma/Namor telepathic affair waiting to happen!

well, it's nice to hear that directly from the horses mouth 
but Jean fans will probably always call Emma a slut, whore, homewrecker, whatever 
 

haters gonna hate... we can do nothing about it.
for me, just personally, emma + scott >>>jeannie + scottie, and emma&scott is one of my favorite pairings.

I vouch for this. Best X-Men run ever. "
