Powers & History: Emma seems to have had a part of her brain removed. This was likely done to remove her telepathic powers, leaving her powerless.

Despite Emma Frost being born a mutant, she appears to have removed or altered her brain to eliminate her telepathy. This might have been done to prevent Apocalypse from removing her brain and using it for his brain trust, or as a condition of her joining the human resistance. Eventually, Emma Frost became a member of the Human High Council in Europe, determined to end the tyranny of Apocalypse or die trying. Out of the Human High Council members, Emma seemed to care the most for Brian Braddock.

When Brian began acting strangely, she accompanied him, Weapon X and Gateway on the armada attack on America. There she discovered that Brian betrayed them to Pierce (due to a brain-modifying chip). She was fully prepared to fight and kill both Brian and Pierce with an axe before letting them stop the attack. Brian managed to overcome the chip’s influence and shot Pierce off the plane only to be run through the chest by Pierce’s extendable arms. Using the axe, Emma severed Pierce's arm and then held Brian’s body as he died. It is assumed she survived.
