Warning: contains light spoilers for the Sins of Sinister eventAs Marvel's upcoming Sins of Sinister event looms over the horizon, a stunning new variant cover for Immoral X-Men #1 by the talented Mark Brooks gives Emma Frost of the X-Men a truly iconic new look, as the former White Queen is turned into a Sinister.

The villainous Mister Sinister has been plotting his takeover of the Marvel Universe for years now - at least since he was invited to join Krakoa's Quiet Council - and these machinations are now finally coming to fruition, although perhaps not in the way he intended. Emma Frost, along with other Council psychics like Charles Xavier, Hope Summers, and Exodus, have all been resurrected as secret Sinister clones. Sharing the gorgeous variant cover for Immoral X-Men #1 - written by Kieron Gillen with art by Paco Medina - on Twitter, Mark Brooks called it his "Sinister Frost" cover, and Emma Frost has never looked so awesome.

Brooks' stellar costume redesign for Emma almost makes her "Sinisterization" worth it.

Emma Frost Wears Sinister's Look Better Than He Ever Did

Emma Frost Immoral X-Men

Emma Frost has been a beloved X-Men character since her debut in 1980's Uncanny X-Men #129, starting out as a serious villain of mutantkind as the White Queen of the Hellfire Club alongside Sebastian Shaw. She then made a truly miraculous shift into an iconic superhero during the '90s Generation X era. The powerful telepath is known for her posh attitude, obsession with looks, long time romance with Scott Summers, and her incredibly salacious all-white outfits. As opposed to many X-Men heroes who often wear matching team suits, Emma is known for literally never adhering to X-Teams dress codes, instead almost always opting for some variation of her white skin tight catsuit, white fur, and white cape look that makes her the beloved icon she is. While Emma has had some costume changes over the hears, like her time as Black King of the Hellfire Club, she hasn't had any major costume updates in a long time, but Mark Brooks' art may hint that will soon change.

Besides Emma's manipulative telepathic powers and iconic all-white outfits, she is perhaps best known for her secondary mutation - introduced in Grant Morrison's run of New X-Men - that allows her to instantaneously turn her into body into near-unbreakable diamond. Emma's diamond form has become synonymous with the character, and yet Brooks' all-silver costume he designed for "Sinister Frost" might be an even cooler update to her aesthetic. Rocking a near identical outfit to Mister Sinister, except glimmering with an incandescent silver metal, Emma Frost's Sinister form blows Sinister's fashion out of the water, and makes it clear who should really be rocking a cape and epaulette as badass as Sinister's. Interior art from Immoral X-Men #1 has Emma with a red diamond on her forehead indicating she is indeed a Sinister, in her standard all-white look, so there is no way to know yet if Brooks' all-silver Sinister Frost design will appear, but it definitely should. In addition to donning a Frost-version of Sinister's standard costume, Emma is also wearing a diamond-like crown floating above her head, a wonderful nod by Mark Brooks to her former status as the White Queen.

It will certainly be tough to see Emma Frost acting as a full-fledged villain once again in Sins of Sinister, after spending so many years becoming a respected hero, teacher, and leader of the X-Men, but if she ends up donning the "Sinister Frost" look from Mark Brooks' cover, it might all be worth it.
