The X-Men are a superhero team of mutants founded by Professor Charles Xavier. They are dedicated to helping fellow mutants and sworn to protect a world that fears and hates them.
The subservient Emma is my least favorite Emma. Without the pseudo-class, sass, and self-confidence she's nothing but typical Frank Cho-esque objectification.
Scott Lobdell was the first writer to make me like Emma when she was in The Uncanny X-Men and Generation X, back in '94, so I guess I think of him as the writer who made her interesting in the first place. I never cared much for Claremont's version of the character.
I like Morrison's version, but I like Whedon's better.
Bendis doesn't use the character much, but I actually generally like it when he does.
The writers that made me really like Emma as a character are Morrison and Whedon. Currently I'm sad she's underused by Bendis. And worst, I'd say Fraction (sad since I generally really like Fraction).
Whedon. He gave her back alot of the heart she lost under Morrisons pen.
Idk if even Bendis or Fraction did that bad...since idk if a lack of use of a specific character is necessarily a bad use of the character. And considering how Fraction left the majority of the X-men to drown in the background idk if Emma was even that bad in general.
Best : Morrison and Whedon, even though I can't stand Morrison, he did write the best Emma Frost.
Worst : Fraction & Gillian. Emma Frost lived in Cyclops shadows, became nothing more than a sex toy for Cyclops and followed in the same footsteps as Jean Grey.
I actually like Bendis version of Emma, she not his priority, but she had some cool moments.
