Emma was created too long ago for her to be created as a replacement. She was originally an X-Men villain. Jean was replaced because her and Scott's marriage was pretty much all but over and Morrison shaked things up. Emma gave Scott a new dynamic and helped the character grow and develop more than Jean ever did IMO.

Emma's personality is that of a highly intelligent, cunning, classy yet in your face, b*tchy woman that knows she is strong and can stand on her own two feet because she had to. She also isn't afraid to play dirty when she has too. Underneath her tough, diamond-like exterior Emma is a very caring, loyal woman. She loves Cyclops and believes in Scott's dream to protect their race. The only thing that she arguably loves more is teaching her students.

she may not have been created as a replacement but that eventually became her purpose

I'm having the same discussion on an Italian forum XD I've been arguing to affirm that she wasn't made to replace Jean for more than tree days! I think that what Godspawn said is a good summary of my thoughts about this: Emma is too different from Jean to replace her

Yeah, she's Jean's replacement.

Come at me, Frostitutes.

BRO, YOU DON'T WANT NONE OF THIS.

Nobody cares what you think.

@Illuminatus: I once made a joke DH's opinions were like Jean Grey. Relevant for 30 seconds then nobody gives a crap for 10 years.

There's so much truth to this, it's not even funny.

Current Emma is like British-Betsy-Lite sometimes.

Absolutely hysterical.

And Emma was made during the Dark Phoenix saga, which was before a bunch of the X-Cast was even made. She wasn't made as a replacement.

That's what I thought WHen I fisrt heard or saw Emma.

@Hazlenaut said:

There was Madelyne Pryor for evidence. Now that Cyclops dating Storm who is not a red head, can read minds, or use the phoenix force I think stepping out of his problem. I think Storm may be open for puligamy. Now what to do with Emma. Is there anyone interested on a lady who is bitchy, has low self esteem, and has a very bad past

....What the fack are you talking about?

And have you been keeping up with X-Men? Like at all in recent time?

Cyclops isn't dating Storm, he is still with Emma as Storm is still married to T'Challa.

And there have been quite a few people interested in Emma. Namor right now for one which is apparent in UXM.

At first I think yes, just like Psylocke orginally was, but like Betsy she has created her own identity.

Agreed. I think Emma would still make an awesome nemesis for the X-Men, but she has definitely made her identity for herself in the x-world and MU as a whole.

Lol...true.

Storm is still married to T'Challa.

I can retract this statement now lol.

No, she was created to be a villain.

To Jean fans I'd say she's the ultimate villain, so in that regard they succeeded with flying colors

I could not agree more. Emma has been around since Uncanny X-Men #129. After years a villian she reformed and became part of the X-Men and later became involved with Cyclops. I would clasify Jean as Scott's highschool sweetheart while Emma is a mature woman that allows Scott to be himself and grow as a person and not have to live up to any childish notions of romance

I like that analysis. I've always seen Jean and Scott's romance to be very spiritual and they hold each other with a certain amount of reverence. But with Emma everything is much more organic and natural. I like the Emma and Scott romance because it is a much more of real love, rather than an idealistic one.

However lately while Scott's been allowed to grow while Emma has taken a back seat.
