Marvel.com: TGIF Fabulous Females
Marvel.com’s TGIF column provided a list of “fabulous females” noted by Marvel’s creative team. Emma Frost makes the lists of three creators!
PAUL CORNELL (writer of CAPTAIN BRITAIN AND MI13): I really love my two, Spitfire and Faiza, but then I would say that, wouldn’t I? Otherwise, I’m a great fan of Emma Frost, who is secretly British, and thus a member of MI13, only she’s had that information wiped from her brain. It’s that combination of haughty banter and joie de vivre that makes her so compelling. If only she dressed better. But she wears those clothes because she can.
SEBASTIAN GIRNER (Marvel assistant editor): The X-Women always strike a chord with me, especially Rogue, who seemed to have all the best superpowers, despite that pesky “never being able to touch anyone” thing. But it’s hard to feel sorry for someone who can fly and punch a hole through an aircraft carrier.
PHIL JIMENEZ (upcoming artist of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN): Almost all of my favorite characters at Marvel are female, although my favorite incarnations of them tend to be older ones—Storm, Emma Frost, Jean Grey, the Invisible Woman, the Scarlet Witch, Magik, Magma, Mirage, Rogue, Mystique, the Black Widow, Spiral, the Black Queen, Aurora, Snowbird—these are fantastic characters when used properly; they are powerful, regal, demanding, haughty, sexy as hell—played properly, these women command a room when they walk in the door. They could literally destroy the planet with their powers or turn it into a life-giving Eden. Marvel boys can keep Captain America, Wolverine, or the Human Torch—and give me these ladies—in their most vibrant incarnations—on a team any day, and watch them kick ass without even breaking a sweat—or a heel.
