More than any other X-man, Emma Frost was born to teach. Even in the 1980s, when she was a villain, one could make the argument that, had Charles Xavier turned the New Mutants over to Emma instead of Magneto when he left for one of his many space journeys, they would have ended up in better shape.
Unless they died alongside the rest of the Hellions in 1991. But honestly, the Hellions died because they were expendable. No one’s nerfing Cannonball. Just ask Sauron and Nimrod.
THE POINT IS, who better to put on a variant cover for Marvel’s new series about a mutant school than the X-Men’s best teacher, and Marvel Rivals‘ best Vanguard, Emma Grace Frost? And who better to draw Emma than Peach Momoko?
