Uncanny X-Men Cosplay: Emma Frost – The White Queen (Nicole)

Posted In: Comic Cosplay, Fanboy Stuff

Emma Frost, once the White Queen and part of the infamous Hellfire Club, has since moved on from being one of the X-Men’s most dangerous foes to being one of their most central members. Cosplayer Nicole has taken it upon herself to don the necessary skimpy white attire and bring to life this powerful mutant telepath!

Created by Chris Claremont and John Byrne back in 1980 and first appearing in Uncanny X-Men #129, Emma Frost started out as a dangerous mutant telepath associated with Sebastian Shaw’s Hellfire Club under the moniker the White Queen. Over the years however this powerful telepath has gradually switched alliances, becoming somewhat of a hero in the process. Sophisticated, elegant and with quite a dry wit, Emma Frost has since become one of the most popular female characters in the entire Marvel stable.

Her abilities include of course her powerful telepathy which allows her such feats as broadcasting and receiving thoughts, mind-control, altering perceptions and memories, psychic shielding, astral projection, mind switching, mental sedation and even the ability to inflict mental pain via touch. She can also activate or boost other mutants’ abilities as well. Outside of her psionic abilities, Emma also has the ability to transform into her diamond form, which comes at the price of her psychic abilities but delivers to her an indestructible body and increased strength.

Comic Book Art: Emma Frost (White Queen) by Aly Fell

by Craig Lotter on Tuesday, September 6, 2011 at 06:00
Posted In: Comic Books, Fanboy Stuff

Aly Fell (Alastair Fell to his mum) is a Manchester, England based illustrator and concept artist with well over 20 years of experience in both the animation and games industry, having previously worked as an animator at Cosgrove Hall Films. Currently a freelance illustrator and seemingly doing quite well for himself, Aly is best known for his female form art, more of which can be found on his blog here.

Today’s featured piece of comic art depicts a fantastically rendered Emma Frost, a.k.a The White Queen, a mutant from the X-Men franchise commanding powerful psychic abilities and who more often than not finds herself siding with the villains rather than the heroes, though with her you never quite know where she really stands!

Kaare Andrews: Astonishing X-Men: Xenogenesis #4 Cover (2011)

by Craig Lotter on Thursday, July 14, 2011 at 06:00

Something is causing the children of an African village to be born mutated. Something in the woodland outside the village. Something they don’t talk about. But now, whatever it is, it’s being hunted, and the X-Men are trapped between the hunters and the hunted.

Of course, Warren Ellis’ story needs to be complemented by an artist, and although I’m not a particularly huge fan of Kaare Andrews’ internal pencils, the man does whip up some pretty awesome covers, and ignoring his hip-hop nods through the various covers for this short miniseries, his completed art for issue 4 is actually pretty attention grabbing.

Besides, it features Wolverine clutching a baby, claws extended, dark, foreboding tree, and of course Emma Frost for some or other reason draped around his calf.

Sheer awesomeness.
