>>107832910I've always felt that the Hellfire Club worked better divorced from all the X-Shit. As for a singular character, Emma Frost. She's got an interesting powerset and backstory, that with a few tweaks here and there she could be completely divorced from the X-Men, survive, and thrive, as a character. Honestly, I think that she did grow as a character Post-Morrison, but also lost a whole lot of "edge". Nevertheless, I think she could carry her book without Summers or any X-Shenanigans. I'd love an AU where she says "fuck the Muties" and just goes for the Avengers.
