I think Emma is great, because she makes us attempt to assess what is good and evil, and confronts us, depending on how deeply you want to look at it, on whether there is actually a good and evil.
I think she could be considered evil, she is smarter and more intelligent than your average person, she can demonstrate bias, and has the means and ability to make life better for some people, at the expense of making it worse for others, and occasionally revel in what she has done. Like what she did to Kimura. In that case Kimura arguable deserved something bad to happen to her, as punishment and maybe imprisonment, since she would have continued to do harm, and she wished to kill X-23, but Emma took it upon herself to be judge, jury and executioner and wow, her punishment was... she could have used her telepathic powers to setting Kimura to getting an education, and try and better herself, seek psychological help, so maybe one day she could be considered a good guy, but Emma potentially made her an even bigger and more dangerous monster, and although Emma had some honorable intent there (X-23's safety) but I felt she was a bit evil there with what she done, and her emotional state she seemed in when she did it. Plus, in that instance, her honorable intent didn't matter since Kimura returned anyway and ended up hurting X-23.
Then again, I do think her mind and heart are in the right place and I don't buy in too good or evil, just good or evil intent, and good or evil actions, and I find Emma, has some of the best and most honorable intentions around even among the X-Men. Her actions in paving the way for her long term goals, will stray the line between being good and being evil in the mean time.
