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
Emma Frost
Character » Emma Frost appears in 6125 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.
Is Emma Frost British??
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.Madonna?
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.As a man of reason I of course cannot make such a claim...but yeah ;-) All those auto asphyxiated politicians with apples in their mouths...sorry, got distracted, yeah, Emma Frost, true brit...
@Stuka69: Did you just say all Brits are pervs? lol.
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.
Are you sure this isn't just a case of dumb kids mistaking speaking English properly as a British accent ?
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.Are you sure this isn't just a case of dumb kids mistaking speaking English properly as a British accent ?
Fairly certain the accent comes from pretty much assimilating Astrid Bloom..
*Nods*

Now for the next round question to see if Dark Huntress wins a lovely 2 week vacation in Hawaii, Nocturne from Exiles, she has a retractable tail. Why?
@SC:
@EmmaGrace:
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?

@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...
@SC V_V I don't remember.
Oh thats okay, you don't need to win a Vacation since you win at life and in general! *smile*
@Vortex13:
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.
@SC: Well both groups are mutants. Sooooooo Brotherhood of Evil Teenage Mutant Turtles anyone?
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.

Ugh, I don't know why some people use that hack who did all the Emma covers as avatars. He's a Land-caliber plagiarist.

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.
@PhoenixoftheTides: Hey, do you happen to remember what story arc you got that scan from?Pretty sure that was from Xenogenesis

@Harryman said:
She's a cold-blooded murderer...
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.
