    I always thought she was from Mass. 
     
    I know in cartoons" Wolverine and X-men" and in the Gen X TV movie she was.
     
    I often see peoples comments about First Class complaining "Why wasn't Emma british" She never was,.....unless I missed something

    She's an American who speaks with a British accent for the fun of it. There's obviously more psychological reasons behind it, but that's the gist.

    I always though she was. When every I read her in comics I pictured her talking with an accent, but I know the movie didn't give her an accent. So, I don't know.

    She's just one of those with pretensions to class, and believes that talking with a British Accent conveys that... I'm sure you know the type.

    You are correct in thinking she is not British, she does however speak with a fake British accent but I have no idea why she does. She's just weird I guess.

    She's from NEW England, not old England.
     
    She speaks with an accent because she's stuck up.

    Another thing people speculate about her accent was her college friend. She had a British accent and who was Emma's first "teacher", in terms of her TP. IN a fallout of their's they got in a psychic battle, Emma being the victor. So it's a possiblity she psychically absorbed the accent. Just a possibility.

    She is not English, she is American, she picked up a British accent after having a telepathic battle with her British roommate that has influenced her speech patterns, she could probably correct it, but its in Emma's personality to probably just go with it. Emma's all about subversion of image and image modification. So yes, she should sound somewhat more British than ordinarily.

    It isn't that people thought because she spoke well that she was British it has been referenced in the comic that she speaks with an accent. And she did have a British accent in Wolverine and the X-Men. Or at least what was supposed to be a British accent lol.

    How come only some writers and creators acknowledge this??  
     
    I mean in The Astonishing X-Men motion comic, she has an "american accent" If you've ever played X-Men Legends 1 or 2, same thing....you could say that the creators of the game were responsible, but everyone else who has an accent is spot on.
     
    So what is it, Just random?

    @cattlebattle:  Its random sorta more inconsistent sorta because not that many people really care. I mean, there are probably bigger inconsistencies. Also the explanation we gave you is sorta weird. I doubt they could sell such an idea in the First Class movie for example.  
     
    @Vortex13:  Possibly... I am not sure I see Nightcrawler have that problem much? Then again, he is dead and Master Splinter looked pretty happy and full the same day Kurt died...

    I am surprised that he is still alive. Any moment you'd expect X-Force to burst in and kill him. He did after all eat Nightcrawler. He is worse than Bastion and all Sentinels combined. X-Men must fear the Turtles.

    You know what's interesting about the Boston area/the Boston accent? A lot of people associate it with Irish immigrants and deem it rather "street" but in actuality it was the lower class' attempt at sounding more waspy and British (we're talking waaay back, beginning of the 20'th century). It's most notable in the lack of pronunciation when it comes to "hard R's". For example a Brit trying to say "Harvard" would phonetically say "Havaad" and a Bostonian would say "Havaahd"- neither pronounces the R.  I'm from New England/Masschusetts and I've heard older people speak a bit more Brit-like.
     
    I think Emma's accent is appropriated from Astrid Bloom but it's not completely British. Emma, Charles, and even Magneto seem to have what we would call MID-ATLANTIC accents- An inflection & pronunciation somewhere between English & east coast American.

    Another fun fact, Astrid Bloom is ACTUALLY Stacey Dash from Clueless...

    She likes how it sounds, so she uses a fake accent. Cyclops mentions that it is fake on a number of occassions, and I'm pretty sure Morrison did, as well (he was pretty open about her plastic surgery and general snobbery). See panel #3.

    Hmmm, yea, she is.

    She killed her older sister Adrienne, who planted bombs around the school, and one of them exploded in front of Synch killing him.

    She killed a man who ran over a mutant kid and didn't report it 25 years ago, under the influence of the PF.
