Storm Week! Is Storm More Attractive Than Emma Frost?

[Seres]

The X-Offices have really been pushing Emma Frost recently. What with having feature roles in Uncanny and Astonishing X-Men, as well as Cable, she's been made into the main female character. Storm, on the other hand, keeps getting forgotten about, and none of the writers seem to have any big plans for her at all.

Is that because they think Emma is prettier?

Emma Frost is the typical male dream: a busty blonde with a past history of sexual whipping. And because of that, she's become the new headmistress of the X-Men, and gets to give all the orders. Also, it means that the writers are letting her have sex all the time with her boyfriend, and they show it on panel and everything which is pretty graphic really but that's their decision.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u234/segcell/Anime/emma_frost.jpg

Storm, meanwhile, barely ever gets to have sex on-panel. Doesn't that simply scream a double-standard? Storm is one hot momma, and yet she is barely objectified at all! Why do you think this is? Is it because the writers find Emma to be more attractive? Please tell me everything that you think is part of why Emma is more significant right now than Storm is.

Oh, and are they right? Who is more attractive - Storm, or Emma Frost? I literally await your answers.

[Christopher O]

I don't know. I think they're attractive in different ways. I think Storm is meant to be more beautiful than Emma, but Emma's meant to be sexier.

[Yogaflame]

Emma is the American dream: illusionary, plastic, chemically treated.

Storm is African Goddess incarnate: exotic, visceral and natural.

It's no wonder Emma is pushed to the fore as Storm recedes to window dressing. In fact, its incredible to think Claremont was able to push her to the forefront for all those years, even back in the '70's. It was a quirk, all things considered. A wonderful, amazing quirk.

[eurazn]

If Storm's very first appearance involved a bustier and BDSM-centric accessories, I think we'd have a very different Storm in this day and age. Old habits and sexcapades die hard, I suppose :tongue:

[x_goalkeeper]

Both are quite attractive... but Emma's just a little more attractive.

[marvell2100]

They're both hot and you can't lose with either one. I picke Storm because she has bigger boobs. But I'd still be all over Emma. But I'd live in Storms underwear. But Emma could never rest around me. But Storm would have to watch her back all the time. But Emma would be like a roller coaster. But Storm could never wear clothes.

[Shade101]

In my opinion no one can match Storm on looks. She has a timeless face with very exotic, but still very appealing looks. I do believe she is much more beautiful than Emma. But while Emma is beautiful herself, she is much more sexier than Storm. That's just the way Emma presents herself. As a big sex pot. Storm presents herself as a goddess. So they can each learn something from one another. But if Storm wanted to be a sex pot, God help the MU!:eek:

[Eye in the Sky]

Emma Frost is not the American Dream, she's the American Nightmare.

Eloquent and poignant, Marvel, thank you for your insight. :biggrin:

QFT. Storm is quite exceptional.

[Yogaflame]

Emma Frost is not the American Dream, she's the American Nightmare.

Well, this shows how I interpret American ideology.

In other words: exactly!

[Eye in the Sky]

Well, this shows how I interpret American ideology.

In other words: exactly incorrect!

Fixed that for you.

Interpret it correctly next time.

[eurazn]

Well, this shows how I interpret American ideology.

In other words: exactly!

This is how I interpret cultural centrism. Generalizing Emma Frost as the "American dream" is just as much a fallacy as someone calling the American Dream "plastic."

For the record, I voted for Storm. She was the first X-Woman I was ever introduced to, although I do think Emma has made many strides in characterization since I first saw her.

[That JonoGuy]

Since Emma has gone on record about her plastic surgery, I think it's pretty obvious who prevails here. Storm for the win.

[marvell2100]

But Emma just screams, "Spank me!" But Storm just screams,"Kneel Before Storm!" But Emma is so nasty. But Storm is like bootylicious. But Emma can throw down. But Storm can get down.

[Seres]

So.... is Storm more attractive than Jean Grey, also?

[Bingo!]

Emma Frost is not the American Dream, she's the American Nightmare.

Here's common ground we can work with! :wink:

Poor Emma. Ororo eclipses her in all aspects, but is too nice to bring any of that up even when confronted with Emma's bitchiness.

[Quinnhop]

Emma answered this question for us the moment she possessed Storm's body, no?

[Yogaflame]

Fixed that for you.

Interpret it correctly next time.

You are free to speak your mind as you wish, but no not missquote me again.

No the hell you won't betch!

[Eye in the Sky]

No the hell you won't betch!

Back off! Emma is not the American Dream, she is a nightmare, a creation that should have been lit on fire and scrapped off the operating table!

[Yogaflame]

The American nightmare made manifest!

Thank you for your unwavering illustration, Eye in the Sky.

For real? The artists have drawn them to both be beautiful. How can you say one is more beautiful than the other? Depending on the artist, Storm looks like a drag queen. Depending on the artist, Emma looks like the wicked witch of the west. This question is kinda pointless. "Storms features are timeless?" Her features aren't even consistent.

[Greg Anderson]

Where's the "I'll have them both" option? :confused:

[Novaya Havoc]

Emma has blonde hair.

That is all.

[Bingo!]

Emma has blonde hair.

That is all.

Bleached blonde, I think. Didn't her mini establish that she's naturally a brunette?

Why haven't more people picked the Cyclops and T'Challa should make out option? That is the real answer everyone should be picking.

That's a myth. We all know Ororo's clitoris is far larger than T'Challa's penis.

[david r]

Storm is much more attractive than Emma Frost. Besides, who wants to hear her scream "Scott" in your ear during sex? Ororo won't do that.

More food for thought... #5 Storm, #1 is Emma

[Stantheman23]

Storm is way hotter than Emma Frost. Emma Frost reminds me of Paris Hilton

[Lukecage]

Storm is way hotter than Emma Frost. Emma Frost reminds me of Paris Hilton

Storm reminds me of Rupaul.

[Shade101]

Here's a scenario. If both Emma and Storm walked into a room full of people, who would they all look at first?

[BBeeryan]

Ororo is SAVAGE sexy!!! When Storm rolls outta bed she's sexier than Emma on her best day. Imagine the Queen of Wakanda with bed head, that's what Emma aspires to be. Nuff said:tongue: :biggrin:

[Dagger]

Here's a scenario. If both Emma and Storm walked into a room full of people, who would they all look at first?
Depends on what they were wearing. But most likely Ororo because she's black with WHITE hair.

[Shade101]

Exactly what I think. Because Ororo's looks are so rare, everyone's attention would be attracted to her first.

[orkoni1]

T'Challa and Scott should make out : )

Then Emma and Ororo will show them how it's done lol.

[The Thunderbird]

I don't know who to pick between Emma or Storm. Jean Grey is so hot and lovely so I like her bett..... Wait, SCOTT AND T'CHALLA SHOULD MAKE OUT!?!?!?!?!?!? THAT'S A GREAT IDEA! Someone should pitch this to Marvel and then they would dump their current girlfriends and get married forever. They would become the biggest comic book couple since Lois and Clark.

Hmmm... the X-men ARE HQ-ed in San Fransico these days...

[Starleafgirl]

I think Ororo is more sexy than Emma.

*thinks*

...

*shrugs*

Why? Ororo's a natural beauty, Emma is attractive but fa...err, enhanced. Yes, "enhanced." Ororo's sexier when it comes to everything else besides pure physical looks, too. She's wise, has a strong moral compass, and I like her personality, too.

[psychic_therapy]

Emma is more attractive than Storm in my eyes. Emma did take first place in that "competition" of hottest comic book babe just a couple years ago or so, like somebody posted earlier. If I saw both Storm and Emma on the street I'd be scared of Storm actually, with her white hair and all.

[Kid Icarus]

racist.

white hair is gorgeous

So having something against hair color is racist how exactly? :confused:

[Kid Icarus]

race is defined by a group of people linked by common traits
such as the race of fierce white haired women

don't be a hater

[Anna]

Bianci's Storm is not attractive.

[tangentman]

If Emma is seen as sexier, I think it's because Storm tends to present herself as "The Goddess". As "The Goddess", Storm is paradoxically erotic--but often seems "above it all", particularly carnal matters. The fascinating part of the early Forge/Ororo relationship--no matter how much of an asshole he was--involved their meeting spurring Storm's awareness of herself as a sexual person.

Meanwhile, Emma has always been presented as the Femme Fatale. From her early "Ice Queen Dominatrix" days to stealing & bedding Scott Summers, there's never been a question that Emma wielded enormous sexual power. She's aware of that power and wields it like a finely-honed weapon. Emma definitely owns her sexuality, and doesn't apologize for not any self-presentation as "virginal". Although I'm sure Ororo & T'Challa fuck like rabbits.

That said, though--I voted for Storm. I think her beauty is rare and timeless. Yes, Emma is sexy and compelling, but I think there WAS something going on with Emma stealing Storm's body that went deeper than mere X-sabotage.

[x_goalkeeper]

Emma just seems more attractive than Storm to me...

[Aquarius74]

Although I'm sure Ororo & T'Challa fuck like rabbits.

They spend so little time together (Ororo is both seen in Uncanny and Asto), so when at last they're in bed (or somewhere else) they fuck like rabbits (or something else :smile: )
I think Emma is the most attractive when it comes to sexual matters ; but in pure beauty ("statuesque") Ororo is better.

But maybe the whole Uncanny plot is now to make Madelyne the sexual one and Emma the "poor" girlfriend who's losing her mate ? Nice vengeance (for Jean).

[Umbra]

Storm reminds me of Rupaul.

Yeah, that's why Halle Berry played Storm in the X-men live action films.
I guess you can pretend that Halle Berry is Rupaul if you wanted.:biggrin:
If that is your taste.

Storm >>>>>>>>>>Emma.

[DiamondQueen]

Storm is naturally beautiful while Emma is icy beautiful...does that make sense

[AcesX1X]

Storm is naturally beautiful while Emma is icy beautiful...does that make sense

what are you implying?

is "ice" code for "unnatural?"

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

what are you implying?

Both characters would be in the same category, if it were the same.

Anyway...

Am voting #4, but picking 'Ro if just for the insane!hot hair color. Oh well.

[thi84]

I think this is irrelevant, every comic female is attractive. So basically they're both beautiful, just like Rouge, Jean, Psylocke...but I guess that Emma is written in a way that you can say she has more sex appeal. I guess that's it, but as you can see ( look at my avatar) as a character I do prefer Emma, what can I say? I like bad girls! :tongue:

I have to disagree here. Back during the early Hellfire issues, I seriously thought Emma was some kind of transvestite, because she was utterly devoid of sex appeal and femininity. Storm had these really amazing curves, but Emma looked almost like a teenaged boy, even in a corset.

THANK YOU!!! I'm tryna remember where that scan is from, but Ororo had to change outfits and when she came out she asked all the fellas in the room how did she look. I'll eventually find the scan. But Ororo played coy about her savage beauty, all the while advertizing it. That showed me a woman with complete confidence in her sex appeal. She was more on a-you can look, but you can't touch-type of attitude. Emma can't compete with that. She was surgically inhanced to be what Queen Ororo is on her worst day. :eek: :biggrin: :wink:

[Monty_Cristo]

i can't decide so i'll just combine them.

I believe so. Just to answer your question. But with that scan alone Emma stands no chance. But I'm glad you knew what I was talkin about. Ororo, the BADDEST chick to ever touch a page in all of comics. I mean this goddess we speak about actually rivals WW and Enchantress in sheer beauty. Yet, you blasphemers dare compare her to that anatomically correct blow-up doll. Sheeesh!:eek: :rolleyes: :eek:

"Teenaged boy" is the LAST descriptor I would use for John Byrne's Emma. Like many of Byrne's women, Emma was curvy. Didn't you see how she looked in "civilian clothes" leaving the Pryde house? Kitty was the boyish one of the X-set--most of Byrne's women were blessed with curves. Even the "plain janes" like Heather Hudson!

She was not curvy, at all. She looked like a guy in civilian women's clothes at the Prydes' house. She looked like a guy in her corset when she'd captured a very curvy Storm. Look at her in comparison to Mrs. Pryde, Storm, and Jean. She had like zero figure.

Emma still showed a decent rack. Even on the cover, it's obvious her breasts are being held down by the corset. Look at the way they're bunched around the corset's top. She also showed great legs and curves, even when "frumping it" at the Pryde house. Claremont made a point of Wolverine admiring Emma's looks--but being (appropriately) creeped out by her iciness and secretiveness.

Racks don't mean a thing. They're too easily faked. Corsets are made to accentuate curves and it failed in this instance.
She also showed great legs and curves, even when "frumping it" at the Pryde house. Claremont made a point of Wolverine admiring Emma's looks--but being (appropriately) creeped out by her iciness and secretiveness.
No curves, whatsoever, and even guys have legs.

[psychic_therapy]

Emma in the White Queen days is a different person appearance-wise from today's Emma. I agree Storm had the edge looks-wise back in the 80s but present day Emma is the hottest in all of comicdom. Yes, that means her current look is more attractive than Storm.

I agree that Emma looks different -- better, even -- now than when she was the White Queen, but I'm still giving it to Ororo for the win.

[thi84]

Recent Emma is more attractive than Storm, but as I sad, they 're all attractive females.

[oneshyguy46]

Lol. True. I think Emma is one of the most attractive X-Men, but Storm is not ugly at all. I think Storm displays a more diffrent type of appeal. She is a very strong and confident woman, who is graceful and sincere. I think that's what makes Storm even more appealing to look at. Although Emma Forst is more of a "sex symbol" you can say, she has a confident personality that does not let anyone talk her down.

They are both great! Emma a little more though :tongue:

Emma's the one... she won the "real" competition on IGN.

And about this competition, it's tough to read the real results on this... having two bogus options (not answering the question) skews the voice of the people quite madly.

[marvell2100]

Storm has so much natural beauty without all of the artificial enhancements. Emma's beaity is the product of a good cosmetic surgeon, all man-made. Nothing wrong with that but Storm will continue to look beautiful while Emma continues to go under the knife.

I think the idea of Emma doing plastic surgeon is very interesting, cause all the other women are perfect by birth, hot by birth. Come on! That it's just not possible in real life, it's like one of the rules to be an x- women is to be hot. If you think about it, Emma is more real, she thought she could do better and went for it, besides she doesn't hides it. Have you ever asked yourself why Storm, the afro-american most prominent in the x-men, have to get blue eyes and straight white hair? In the time her character was created would she be accepted any other way? So I say, Emma is more real, and recently more beautiful too.

Just so you get it, I'm not been a racist, it's just that I've always questioned why Storm couldn't be a beautiful African looking real lady.For me it's like marvel was full of good intentions by having a powerful and beautiful black woman in the x-men, but they had to make some "adjustments" so she could get by. That sucks! It sounds hypocritical.

What a funny little logic you used here. Emma is more real because she dyes her hair blonde and gets plastic surgery to embody what she considers beauty, but Storm, who through her unique heritage has naturally striking features is seen as unreal. Absolutely fascinating!

Is Polaris any less European for having green hair? What of Professor's perpetually arched eyebrows? Pietro's(Quicksilver's) white hair even though he's like 28-33. These are comic book characters for one, and two, not all Africans have spiralled hair. The vast majority do, yes, but there are black Africans, especially in East Africa where Ororo's ppl come from, where they have straight hair. Blue eyes too occur naturally amoung Black Africans, again very rarely, but they do. White hair can happen to anyone at any age, and this is a factor of Storm's unique witch-priestess ancestry. So while I suppose I can see your point in questioning the reasons behind Storm's unique look, I do not think it takes away from her African heritage at all. And it certainly does not make Emma more attractive or less artificial!

I was comparing with real life and questioning Marvel’s choice on Storm's "unique heritage and naturally striking features"as you put it. But I do think Emma is more real than most people believe. She is the kind of person who says: "this is me, like me or live me cause I don't care one bit."

Emma's is more "realistic" is how I see it

Having surgery to "correct" what you feel are flaws doen't make it more real. As far as women being hot at birth, I guess it all depends on what you consider hot. There are many women out there that have natural beauty and I'm not talking about having perfect features either. And we know that women from all races have different features, some that may be common to other races.

Emma may have been a beautiful woman pre-surgery but I guess we wouldn't know that now. Has her surgery made her more attractive? Possibly, but what do we have to judge that by? Emma is an attractive woman but Storm has both an inner and outer beauty which makes her more attractive than Emma.

Well said Marvell2100. Emma's soul is corrupted with foul intentions, spite, and malice. If anything, Storm is the one who says "this is me, deal with it". If Emma's somehow more relatable or realistic, that is just a sad reflection of so many of this world's women, who feel they must be "blonde Barbie dolls in all the latest fashions" to be beautiful. Find the Goddess within, that is the only beauty which matters. Namaste!

[thi84]

"What of Professor's perpetually arched eyebrows"
[/I] That was great! Maybe I'm seen too much on comic books, the x-titles were created to discuss the racism in society, and the new species and new colors were made to discuss this theme more easily. I just wanted to give it a thought, cause it seems that even nowadays we have to use euphemisms to talk about races, this is really sad. Sorry for making this funny female competition on a serious matter ( no sarcasm, I promise).:smile:

I like Emma cause she, just like wolverine, is part of the grey on the mutant world. This kind of character is great to bring new perspectives to light. I do like Storm, and if you're implying that I'm a sad modern woman, sorry to disappoint you, but I'm no Barbie doll, believe me, and this is definitely NOT the reason why I think Emma is more real than most people get her for. You just have to look deeper

I think of Emma as an empowered woman who has taken control of her life and gets what she wants. There is attractiveness in that as well. Can it rub the wrong way? Sure it can as with anybody. But I also remember the gentler side of Emma that we saw in Gen X. We got to see more of her heart and I found that to be very appealing.

Never apologize for deepening the conversation beyond the superficial, that is welcome in my book. So on the real, there is but one race, the human race, and all variations fall from a single source. A black [African] source, which contains all others. Any discussion of race beyond that is foolishness.

I agree with you, and really wish that most people would think this way. This week, here in Brazil, we had the "Black conscious day" to celebrate the African culture and to discuss why, for example in the British company that I work for that are no black people (I'm sorry if I offended somebody, here in Brazil we say “black” don't know about other country's), they only get to be on the cleaning department, and you see, Brazil assumed, long time ago, to be a mixed races country. This is sad, but the fact that we can see and discuss the whys and how to start addressing the matter is an improvement. And we all know that, around the world, that are other kinds of prejudice. We’re human, we’re not perfect, but definitely came of one source. :tongue:

Err, and Beast got turned blue.

Mutants don't always look like humans, that's the reason I've always had for Storm looking the way she does.

But anyway, I agree with you that it's ridiculous that all X-women get drawn hot and it's nice to know that Emma's willing to admit she's had plastic surgery. It works for her character because she's vain enough to do it and because she knows being hot will help you get your way.

I think Storm is the exception to the ridiculousness of hot X-women. She's hot without going overboard; like, I could believe her being born with that level of hotness.

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

So beauty and unnatural hot attributes are part of her mutant gifts, eh? And she gets to lead the Morlocks? And yet we're a$$holes for bringing up the Dreamboat motif. Right.

Anyway, can't believe this is still going on.. And *Emma's* the vain one. Kinda funny.

I didn't get it, why it’s more believable and realistic that Storm is naturally beautiful and hot, and less believable that Jean is like that too ?or Psylocke, or Polaris, or Siryn...they’re all stunning women, graced since birth by God, mutation and artists. I think that depends entirely on personal opinion.

I didn't know Brazil had that(Black conscious Day), that's interesting. Yeah, 'race relations' are so silly its not funny. In America we also have a ridiculous concessionary gesture called 'Black history month', where the only history really mentioned is George Washington Carver's mastery of the peanut or some Civil War/Civil Rights types.

Nevermind the fact that Africans were casually trading cross-Atlantically with the Americas since at least Egyptian times, or that pretty much all idenitifyable human civilization aspects (from writing, mythology, medicine, architecture, etc) were developed in Africa and carried across the world by Africans, who form the basis of every subsequent human culture. No, we just stick to the slavery stuff, erasing thousands of years of cultural heritage from the collective psyche.

But hey, Europeans have their peculiar little ways which they like to export over the globe. It's really quite an interesting study in the variation apparent in the human condition.

Are you talking to me? Cos I don't see where I said any of that, lol. Except Emma being vain which, yes, I consider her to be. Also, considering that part of my post that you did quote, I suppose I should've actually said that mutants don't always conform to racially-influenced genetic norms. I have a feeling there's a shorter, better way to say it, but meh.

I find it funny that it's still going on, too, but I keep checking back to see what's new all the same. :rolleyes:

Hmm, I'm just pretty sure I've seen all of the main X-women drawn unbelievably hot at some point over the years, all of them except Storm. Her level of hotness, therefore, has always been at a believable level. With the possible exception of Greg Land tracing, but isn't that always the case with him? ;) And yes, of course it's my opinion. :biggrin:

I don't know about you, but it's always bothered me that "Black History Month" is the shortest month in the year. :rolleyes: Maybe I'm reading too much into it; is there a historical reason for it being in February...?
