Complete Guide To Every X-Men Character Who Returned After Death

6. Emma Frost

Marvel Comics

How Did She Die?

Emma was shot in her diamond form and shattered into a thousand tiny pieces. It was a pretty cool death from writer Grant Morrison, who then orchestrated the story into a murder mystery set within the grounds of the X-Mansion. Turns out one of her wayward proteges, Esme Cuckoo, had brainwashed a student named Angel Salvadore into murdering Emma, because she had been figuring out that Esme was selling mutant drug enhancers on school premises.

How Did She Come Back?

Hank literally put all the pieces of Emma back together like a puzzle, at which point Jean Grey stepped in and used her Phoenix powers to seal the deal and bring her back to life. Although she probably wouldn't have done that if she had known about the psychic affair Emma was about to have with her husband.
