I'm not too familiar with the history of the Hellfire Club, and all this talk of White Knights, Queens, Bishops and shit is throwing me off. Does every member have to represent some kind of chess piece or some shit like that?

OMG, where have you been for the last 30 years.
Yeah, the Hellfire Club always did the Chess analogy for it's members.
American Branch is White and Black
British Branch is Red and Black
The Lord Imperial is usually the Black King, but it has been the White King prior to Shaw taking down the Langs.

Just ignore the past existence of the Warrior White Princess title.

I was trying to do too much and not doing any of it as well as I could. But I've had a change of mind... though not everyone shall enjoy it. I will.

This is probably the one book I am most excited about (with New Mutants and Excalibur the other tops.) I love this cast and consider for the most part, these are my favorite X characters (I'm only sad that Rachel and Nightcrawler aren't here!!) But of course if there's going to be a pirate themed X book, Kitty would be front and center (her fairy tale to young Illyanna way back when in Uncanny 153 I think has always been a favorite.)

I also dont think I mind if she even drops the Shadowcat alter ego (if she is even still using it at all) and goes full in on the Red King (didn't Storm share the White King mantle with Magneto for a bit?) The one thing I have missed most about Kitty's character has been her feisty, volcanic, but always optimistic personality. That's been rare.
The only thing I am not on board with is Pyro being the older one. I quite liked the new younger Pyro and the dynamic that could have been between him and Iceman.
Speaking of Iceman, he always looks best in his speedos or booty shorts, but I would never decry a nude Iceman either.
My favourite thing about Emma and Kitty is that Emma has actually succeeded in what she always wanted, Kitty is joining the Hellfire Club! Yay, it's a win for Emma! I think the irony of it is hilarious calling all the way back to Kitty's first appearance and Emma trying to recruit her to the Hellions.

You make it sound like Kitty will be in Emma's pocket, that she will blindly follow Emma's lead and be a reliable vote for whatever wants. I just don't see that. How is Kitty being on the council a benefit to Emma if Kitty is 100% independent? I think you are overestimating Kitty's influence with respect to being on the council, I don't thnk it matters in the grand scheme of things.
No I don't think she'll be in Emma's pocket. I just mean that Emma will feel that she finally got something she always wanted, Kitty is joining her team. I am sure Kitty will take this opportunity to argue with Emma all the time, I just think there is a certain amount of satisfaction Emma could take from the fact that she successfully recruited Kate Pryde to the Hellfire Club, even if Kitty gives her a headache every day.

I am going to make a prediction about Emma's motives.
Emma knows that when she and Sebastian are in the Hellfire Club and vying for control that they tend to go down pretty dark paths and they stop worrying about the collateral damage.
Emma decides she needs someone to join the Hellfire Club that will prevent it from becoming a war zone between Emma and Sebastian. Someone with a strong voice that neither of them would ever be able to buy or control. So she asks Kate, the one person who is always skeptical of Emma and Sebastian. Kate will be the ethical voice that the Hellfire Club needs to keep it reasonably honest. Emma probably hopes that Kate will be very vocal with her opinions at meetings and that Kate will challenge both Emma and Sebastian on a regular basis.
I don't think Emma intends for Katherine to be in her pocket at all, her expectation is that Katherine won't be in her pocket and she won't be in Sebastian's pocket either. Kate will always be a strong 3rd voice that keeps the Hellfire Club from descending into a war between Emma and Sebastian.
That is my feelings about it.
