Emma Frost joins Iron Man cast in April

Ah.....even with that explanation, I don't understand what he means by, "I despise this farmhouse fantasy being shoved down my throat outside of the X-books." Is Frost treated as a stereotypical dumb blonde outside the x-books?

I don't really see it. Tony is very new money and Frost is so old money I half expect her to start talking about how she can trace her ancestry to the Mayflower whenever she shows up.

This doesn't make sense since they're both second generation rich kids.

Maybe to him she is? I saw her as more of a snooty but devious woman with power outside of the X-books.

I meant "Frat house fantasy." I really do wish she would go away. one of the worst things to happen to the Marvel U in the last 2 decades.

At least she isn't in the MCU yet. Disney/Marvel still hasn't launched many X-titles.

But Mutants are the hot new thing again .

I think it's more like whoever is in charge of Marvel is trying to do to X-books, what Quesada and Bendis did with the Avengers in that those two wanted Avengers and Avengers ajacent stuff to steer the direction of the entire Marvel line including X-books with stuff like House of M dictating a decade long status quo to the X-books through what was basically a Avengers helmed crossover. You are kind of seeing this with Dark Web and I guess Iron Man where you have former x-writers parachuting in and bringing in elements/characters from the X-books like Emma and Madelyne.

Thanks be to God. Funny enough, before the editors let plastic Barbie eat the X-verse I use to enjoy when those characters crossed over. Storm, Rogue and Jean Grey have all interacted with Tony and the other Avengers in ways I enjoyed.

These are some great points. I hope that Emma doesn’t take over the book. I knew about the crossover as Duggan already talked about it. So there’s that.

[Shadowcat]

Duggan’s Emma from Marauders was developed a lot better than a lot of the cast, so I’m interested in seeing what will happen with this.

I'm interested too. Although I'm always trepidatious when other characters are coming into a book and take very big roles in them.
