Cerebra's Files
White Queen II
Affiliation: None
Previous Affiliations: Generation X (Headmistress)
Relatives: Emma (White Queen I, sister), Cordelia (sister), Steven (husband, deceased)
Status: Deceased (Emma Frost)
Powers: Psychometry, the ability to read an object's past, and by extension,
its owner's, simply by touching it. For years, she has run her own company, and
had not spoken to her sister in years. Recently, however, Frost Enterprises took
a major hit in the stock market, and Emma was forced to turn to Adrienne for financial
backing. Adrienne agreed, but only on the condition that she be made one of the
headmasters. Adrienne seemed to be great with thekids, even providing them with
new costumes,but in the end she revealed her true self by trapping the Gen X kids'
minds in a psychic recreation of the Hellions'
deaths, hoping to torture her sister by making her watch her student die again.
Fortunately, the team broke the illusion, and Adrienne revealed herself as the
new White Queen before she teleported away. Whether she created the illusion with
her own psychic power or with technology is still unknown. Her assumption of the
White Queen name was a ruse with which she stole over a million dollars from the
London Hellfire Club. She then fled to America
and forced Emma to re-admit her back into the school. If not, she would have released
information to the public that the school was a secret training ground for mutants.
Secretly, she was already instigating anti-mutant incidents around the school,
so the threat appeared even more real. She then revealed to already concerned
parents the fact that the Academy was a school for mutants, and set a bomb that
led to Synch's death. Following that, Emma confronted
Adrienne and shot her, then assumed control of her estate. Adrienne was a really
cold witch, so uncaring that she killed her own husband years ago because he crossed
her somehow. She was not to be underestimated.
