Emma Frost on Matt Murdock
Spanning out of my post from last week, where I looked at how writers fare in the Marvel U, and then narcissistically wondered how I’d fare, I wanted to share a little idea I had for my favourite character, Daredevil.
I want Emma Frost to join the cast of Daredevil, preferably forever, but even for just one kick ass arc. I have my reason ready and thus shall lay them out for you.
-She’s an absolute stunner and Murdock has an uncanny habit of being able to tap all of the finest ladies of the Marvel U. Just image those porcelain blonde/red head relations. Clay Mann could draw the hell out of that.
-They could both tell when the other is lying. I mean, c’mon, you don’t think Murdock could always tell when Karen Page was faking it after being filled out like an application form by every cinematic stud on the west coast? This pairing of Murdock and Frost would be equal, though I do think Murdock could use some crazy ninja trick to fool her and get away with a bit of mischief.
-Emma Frost is a bloody strong female character and she’d be able to stand up to Murdock, she’d be able to acknowledge yet understand his past, and she’d be able to make heaps of jokes about things he had thought about his exes, or done with them. She’d know that Murdock hadn’t watched any of Karen Page’s films, and that one night he had punched out one of her heavy handed fans. She’d know just how much Elektra liked to talk post-coitus. She’d know that the Widow spoke Russian in the heat of the moment and loved it with costumes on. She’d know exactly what happened with Dakota North, and she’d know how to use that against her.
-Cyclops really needs to move on as a loner general who gripes at the world from behind his stubble. Think George C. Scott with optic blasts. Also, Murdock needs another destructive love to ruin his nights. He’s been through get-around gals and heavy hitters like Elektra and Black Widow so he’s ready for the top telepath, and I’d rather see Frost than Tigra or Maria Hill.
-Best reason. Imagine the interplay back and forth between Emma Frost and Dakota North. There is a series, or issue, I’d love to write the hell out of.
How do we get Frost onto the pages of DD? Have Murdock’s ninja clan come across a few wandering X-Men, or maybe just save a poor defenseless mutie, and then let the sparks write themselves.
Gold.

No way!
Matt ‘manwhore’ Murdock can find his one night stands elsewhere without dragging Emma down to his level.
I believe your description of Murdock only proves how perfect she would be for him, not to judge a book by its cover, by Frost doesn’t seem like the kind to slap her thighs together during a midnight screening, if you know what I mean B)
I started reading this thinking ‘no way!’, but I have to admit, you make a good case. If you could explain her reason for joining the title, I would read the hell out of it. (And you’re right about Scott. He needs to stop dating telepaths, is what.)
I assume Murdock would be sitting at the local Hand bar, sipping a gimlet, and then in would walk the one dame he couldn’t resist. He’d buy her a drink, she’d tell him her problems, their love would conquer all, haha.
What a great idea. She really ought to dump that Summers chump and get herself a man who’s really got something to whinge about.
Fun post. However, whilst I think Matt would like the idea of jumping Emma’s bones, I think Ms Frost would find our dear sweet Mr Murdock a little too whiny and needy for her tastes.
That said, with his new move to the Dark Side, perhaps she’d be tempted…
Robert – I can see your point, but I think if Emma can fall for the all new, all different broody Cyclops, then the dark stud of Hell’s Kitchen should be an obvious stepping stone. Maybe she starts off just to make Summers jealous, but then it develops. I mean, have you seen Murdock with the ladies, he’s always got the kvorka.
