And who’s to say it needs to be forward-looking? Couldn’t it be on the shoulder?

Doesn’t anyone else think that’s weird?

Emma and Namor are more grey. They’re willing to do certain things to protect their people, but also aren’t necessarily interested in power for its own sake and aren’t looking to lord over the world.

Namor, especially, is really more of a hero. His more “villainous” moments come when Atlantean interests conflict with surface interests. He can usually be reasoned with and talked down from his full on rages. If a peaceful coexistence can be maintained, he can be agreeable. If things were equal (and they’re not right now), he’d side with the real heroes.

Emma’s different because we’ve never been 100% sure where her true loyalties lie. She was originally with the Hellfire club and trained young mutants to be their eventual servants. However, the Hellfire Club’s goals have never been clearly defined. They seem more interested in financial power than the whole mutant vs. human conflict. Shaw had no problems manufacturing Sentinels, for example. The only things I’m fairly sure of is that Emma truly loves Scott and does want to protect mutantkind. She really was affected by the deaths of the original Hellions. However, even moreso than Namor, she’s willing to cross lines to achieve success. She doesn’t have the sense of honor that Namor does.

I want to see Norman trying to manipulate the White Queen (the queen of manipulation). You know it is coming. There just hasn’t been enough to explain why Emma is doing this. Part of me things that she might be working against Norman, but then I thought that when she joined the X-men.
