No disrespect Elflore but what are you chatting about! Emma is a sultry temptress. This is part of her character. She's a tease! That is exactly what this picture is showing. Would you see Kitty Pride in this get up? No because it's not who she is. This is a true reflection of the Emma Frost character depicted in the comic. Hate to tell you but in real life some women are actually like this and it doesn't remove from her strong or powerful image, in fact if anything it adds yet more dimension. By the way I see no lingerie, it's not like she is in her knickers for goodness sake.Actually you know what your right. Lets stick her in cagoule with ugg boots knitted gloves and a pilots hat. That's the Emma Frost we know and love. View Less

Appreciating beauty is one thing, but this is not the cover to a lingerie catalogue. It's an X-Men comic. Presumably it's meant to draw readers to a story about adventure, morality, and diversity. Tantalizing readers' hormones with a racy shot of Emma unlacing her underwear just encourages people to think of Emma not as a strong, powerful woman but an object of desire. Too many men think of women generally in this fashion as it is.A woman can be strong, powerful, and desirable, but objectifying her as this image does is wrong. It denies women power by reinforcing the stereotype that their chief if not only value is in their attractiveness to men.

Totally understand what you're saying but II still love it! I do often think that my admiration of artwork like this should be unhealthy BUT I also feel that a lot of PC values that we are supposed to have are unrealistic. If we are going to rid ourselves of images like this of women we should also think about images of men being more ordinary, skinny arms, belly paunch etc. I also LOVE Emma Frost, as a character (ever since Grant Morrisons new x-Men run), she is strong, resilient and enigmatic. She also is a georgeous female and I have always loved her figure, especially when Greg Land draws her and I LOVE the image on this cover.
