Most of that I actually didn't know.
Brings a tear to my eye to be reminded of the worlds ginger hatred though.
Jean and Banshee remain two of the few dead characters to stay dead :(

I really enjoy the 3-Minute Expert segments. Not only is it interesting information, but the video effects (like seeing G-Man in the windows of the mansion) make them fun to watch. I also love seeing the different way characters have been drawn and evolved over time.  Great video!

So glad people are digging this one. I was a little hesitant thinking everything was already known about Emma.
 
@JHags: Joey refers to it as the "Where's Waldo" effect. How many times do I appear hidden in panels, etc.

@G-Man: 
Even as an Emma fan. I loved that "darker roots" joke. Nice touch as well, adding the porno-esque music playing during the affair issue. That was pretty funny. These are always so well edited together.
 
Thank you, for leaving out the whole Fraction-Namor issue he added.
 
I also like the artwork selected. Most of it is really from some of my favorite images of Emma. I like the Ramos work the most. GREAT WORK!!

I always liked Emma somewhat, but knew little-to-nothing about her. Now I'm a comic-vine expert! Thanks, G-man!

That was pretty cool, but about 2/3 of that is not the way I think of Emma Frost.
She is not an X-Man she is one of the most evil women they have ever met, one of the leaders of the Hellfire Club and started her own school of self-serving mutants. Unlike say Magneto who differs from Xavier and the X-Men when it comes to methods, but has (arguably) noble goals, Emma subscribes to no higher ideals than helping herself.
That's the Emma Frost I know and love - and all that backstory pre-Hellfire club - yeah, we don't need to know that stuff - some of these characters are just better off remaining mysterious instead of having their origins explained to the finest detail (ugh.. Wolverine).
Love the 3 minute expert concept though.

Wow, this was great! 
Emma, along with Wolverine, is one of my favorite X-Men and I can say you did a great job summarizing her story. 
Congratulations!

Her Emma Frost mini, written by Karl Bollers was Fantastic. It chronicles her life before becoming the White Queen.

It's also really expensive when it goes up for auction on eBay, especially when it's a complete series.  I've given up trying ;p

I don't think you'll ever have to worry about that. I'm sure there'll be very few people who can say they know everything about the subjects you do each week. As long as it's not Spiderman, Batman, Superman or Wolverine of course.
 
If I had a Waldo hat I'd mail it to you in seconds. Where's Waldo-Tony in each video would be epic on many levels.

I hope "sparkly" was in reference to Frost's diamond form and not a hint at next week being Edward Cullen.

LOL she was always on my team. It was indeed hard to play her 'cause you had to keep using her diamond form over and over, as the AI would forget to do it sometimes. Other than that she was ok IMO.
