Author notes: Once again, I am submitting a Marvel comics work for a challenge. This time, I had more time to write much more, and this time, I chose to write about Emma Frost, one of my favorites from Marvel. It seems barely anyone writes about her origin story from the early/mid 2000s, which is a shame considering how much it explains why she is the way she is. I decided to use feast or famine as in "if you don't play dirty or to their level, you will be forever controlled by them", which first well with the Frost family, hence the crabs in the bucket thing.
Summary: To be a Frost is to be a crab in a bucket—and Emma Frost is no different, no matter how much she tries to avoid ending up like her father and eldest sibling. (Or, how Emma Grace Frost went from being a plain ol' Jane to a wise and gifted woman with a brain as sharp as her heart is ice.)
