She eventually took a job to dance at the Hellfire Club, which was where she met Shaw, a mutant like herself. Imagine the cast of Atlas Shrugged dressed up in Revolutionary War cosplay and that’s more or less the comics’ Hellfire Club. While she won the first round against the X-Men, Emma subsequently came out second best in a telepathic duel against Phoenix, and was briefly assumed to have died. That came to an abrupt end when the Hellfire Club came under attack from the time-traveler Trevor Fitzroy, who killed most of the Hellions. That makes Emma Frost into an effective wild card for the MCU.
