I don't hate Emma as a character. In fact I really enjoy her as a snarky foil, she's really fun to read but I just never felt her switch from villainy to working with the Xmen and (to a lesser extent) dating Scott ever felt truly justified. It was always felt like a clunky leap of character. Magneto I kinda get, Rogue makes sense but Emma---as much as I enjoy her presence I have trouble realistically wrapping my brain around that one.
Morrison tried, a bunch of writers tried I'm just not convinced. I just kind of have to ignore half of her history and enjoy her as she is now because otherwise she makes less and less sense to me.

I pointed that out two pages ago. Thanks for finding the pic; it's better.
But what if the ANAD writers are actually crazy/stupid enough to go for it? Will it work?
Wasn't this case won against the gun manufacturing company in the film version of "Runaway Jury"? Or was it merely Artistic License of the Law at work?
Maybe the D'Bari thing was was just "circumstances beyond anybody's control".

Can't for the life of me see how. The Hellfire Bratz turned the HFC into the mother of all bad jokes. For anyone - not just Emma - to genuinely want to have anything to do with this wretched circus act would be beyond embarrassing. Don't even get me started on that Sentinels business of late. It wouldn't make any sense for Emma to go anywhere near these clowns without committing mass murder. It wouldn't make any sense either for the HFC to want Emma anywhere near them.
Thus why I assumed it was Ex!Supervillain humor.
Um, Emma and Sebastian financed Sentinel production back in the day too. In fact, the Sentinels that Fitzroy unleashed on the Hellfire Club, that killed the Hellions(and almost Jean and Emma herself), were HER OWN creations.
That's right. "Mama" Frost profited on mutant-death machines.

Yeah, but Wolverine can have an epic body count, even of his own children, be a total jerk to other X-Men, even have stabbed a few (like Rachel and Jean-Paul) in the heart (one died, both got better), attack allies (even cute little Pixie!), and regularly denigrate his allies and teammates, without being considered to be a 'bitch.'
'Cause he's a dude.
Emma's not a dude, so even though she hasn't killed nearly as many people as Wolverine, hasn't attacked and tried to kill nearly as many X-Men, and has as her worst crime of the last decade or so the poor taste of sleeping with Tony Stark, and a surfeit of epic put-downs (generally handed out to people who achingly deserved them...), she gets to be called a 'bitch,' because she's a woman.
Don't try this new wave feminism with me. Emma let Sebastian rape Ororo. She's a fucking bitch. She messed with Phoenix and got 5 billion sentient beings killed. I don't care how many ninjas or horribly conceived kids Wolverine hacked, it simply doesn't compare. Not to mention Logan's constantly remorseful while Emma continues to be the same materialistic snob she started off as.

She's also the Trope Page image for Psychic-Assisted Suicide.
Despite the fact that she is NOT listed in the list of examples for that trope. Kinda like a metaphor for her character.

Go back and read the original post. I didn't say anything about Emma being a paragon of morality. This isn't about right or wrong. This is about what Emma might do to the people responsible for recent Sentinel attacks on mutants. Maybe she'll let it slide, maybe she won't. Her recent track record seems to suggest she'd go for the latter. Violently so, to boot. If the HFC folks are smart, they wouldn't take their chances.
Of course they didn't. That's the whole point. They didn't lobotomize/torture anyone. Emma might, though.
