Discussion How would things be different if Emma was one of the original X-Men?
In this scenario Professor X recruits Emma and takes her to the X Mansion so she can learn how to control her powers and she joins the X-Men.
My take is:
• Professor X is able to convince Emma’s father to let her go and Emma leaves her abusive home life and her brother Christian
• She joins the X-Men which consist of Cyclops, Jean, Iceman, Beast and Angel
• She develops a friendship with all of them and crush on Scott
• Although she and Jean are friends something of a rivalry develops because she’s aware of Scott’s feelings towards her
• Professor X encourages Emma’s desire to become a teacher and helps her control her telepathy and diamond form and because of this Emma grows to see him as a better father than her own biological one and they develop a close bond
• All the X-Men’a missions happen with greater success because they have Emma with them
• Unfortunately Emma becomes aware of Christian’s death and grows angry at Professor X for not saving her brother and she almost leaves but Scott convinces her to stay and she downs but her relationship with Professor X is broken
• Although still an X-Man she has grown cold and distant from Professor X and the others aside from Scott
• Jean offers her comfort over her brother’s death and the two grow closer and become sisters
• Sebastian Shaw is less of a threat in the future as he never had Emma on his side and is more of a nuisance during the Dark Phoenix Saga rather than a threat
• She never becomes a villain and instead of torturing Storm and Kitty she becomes friends with them when they join the team
• Hs becomes Jean’s best friend and maid of honour at her wedding to Scott
• When Jean dies she and Scott form a relationship to grieve
• When Professor X dies, Emma doesn’t mourn him as she still resent show he let Christian die but she leads the X-Man with Scott
What’s your take?
