Yes, it's one of those threads again and please DO NOT make this into an a Emma Frost versus Jean Grey thread... I think there may be 5 on the battle forums alone...
I believe that Jean Grey may be viewed as boring and uninteresting by some but I believe her character was necessary in Scott's life...
Jean Grey: Cyclops initially started out as the leader of the X-Men, but was shy, boring, quiet and a "Boy Scout"... Jean was attractive and popular... Unlikely pair but she had something called the "Phoenix" inside of her, which made emotions stronger than before, especially negative ones so when Jean and Scott were together, it was good...
Jean helped Scott go from shy and quiet to the confident leader of the X-Men, a very important foundation in order for Scott to become the general of mutant kind as some may say...
Scott helped Jean control the Phoenix, he reminded her and maybe each other their humanity, something very crucial in order to control the Phoenix, as displayed in AvX...
Emma Frost: The lovely Ms Frost, what can I say about you... Emma was initially the White Queen of the Hellfire Club until she quit, started teaching a couple of kids on her own of which some of them died, survived an army of Sentinels and triggered her diamond mutation... She decided to go full time with the X-Men... While doing so, she decided to help Scott with his marriage issues with Jean, which resulted in a telepathic affair and the rest is history but how did she help him...
Emma helped Scott to become the leader of ALL mutants, X-Men or non X-Men and helped him to see that in a world which is seemingly Black and White, there are some greys... She gave him the confidence, abilities and skills in order to make sure even Magneto step downed to him....
Scott helped Emma by helping her with her insecurities regarding her position as an X-Women... Being a former villain in a gang of superheroes raises a lot of question in someone's mind and when Emma felt she wasn't good enough for the X-Men, Scott reminded her she was and when Scott thought that he wasn't good enough to lead mutants, Emma reminded him that he was..
In conclusion: Both women were needed and essential...
There you go folks my arguments for the purpose of Emma and Jean in Scott's life.
HOWEVER, having said that there were other events in Scott's life which made him the badass he is today... Becoming the host of Apocalypse, House of M, Decimation etc...
BUT, of the purpose of the thread, we are discussing Emma and Jean's influences so can Scott's other life instances not be discussed in detail please...
Discuss Away!!!
