Marvel

Emma Frost, also known as the White Queen, is a prominent character in Marvel Comics, particularly within the X-Men franchise. She's a powerful mutant possessing telepathic abilities of the highest order, rivaling even Professor X. She also has a secondary mutation: the ability to transform her body into organic diamond, granting her invulnerability and enhanced strength, but disabling her telepathy.

Initially introduced as an antagonist as part of the Hellfire Club, a secret society seeking power, Frost later reformed and joined the X-Men. She became a respected teacher and leader within the mutant community, often mentoring younger mutants and co-leading various X-Men teams.

During the "Avengers vs. X-Men" storyline, Frost became one of the Phoenix Five, empowered by a fraction of the Phoenix Force. This immense power amplified her existing abilities, making her exceptionally formidable. However, the corrupting influence of the Phoenix Force led her to make questionable decisions, ultimately causing conflict with the other X-Men and Avengers. This era highlights her complex character, showcasing both her potential for immense good and the dangers of unchecked power.
