Emma Frost is anything but a stereotype, under the pen of Morrison and Whedon she's become a key member of the X-Men.
If memory serves Jean was originally meant to be headmistress before she died, and when she died Charles looked for the next best thing, which happened to be Emma. Her relationship with Scott had very little to do with the decision. She was a teacher on Genosha before it was destroyed.
She is more than qualified for the job.
These terms like "playboy bunny" and so on... who says she's promiscuous? Just because she dresses the way she does doesn't make her a whore. Has she cheated on Scott? Not that i recall...
The Scott/Emma/dead-Jean love triangle is interesting... for those who have been reading Astonishing they're setting up for a big Emma-central story which could change everything. Anyhoo, you might remember it was the Pheonix that made them fall in love in the whole Dark Beast storyline, so it's a good setup. Stuff will happen.
I completly agree with you! Emma and Scott just make a horrible couple, point blank. I mean, look at how they hooked up? While he was with Jean, cheating, sneaking around. Is that really how a sucessful healthy relationship should start? I don't think so. I can't stand these two.

Whether you like it or not, but it's not the circumstances of the start of a relationship that define it and make it work. It's how you keep up the relationship, the love and the trust, that is important!!!
Even Jean, the "Phoenix who burns away all lies", acknowledged the sincerity of Emma's love for Scott and pushed it after her death. Even Rachel, who hates Emma, had to accept, that Scott knows darker and nastier secrets of Emma's soul than anyone could imagine, but loves her nonetheless.
Even though there is no such thing as a guarantee for a relationship, could there be a better base for it than this?!

Jean knew about Scott's and Emma's affair before she died. And even after her "death" it was she who gave Scott the push to start an open relationship with Emma, so...

yes and she was mad about it....and she gave scoot a push into being wit emma cause she knew that she couldn't be there for him ....and she didn't want him to live in despair and alone .....and rather have him be with emma who ....loved him.......
jeans better for scott since she can sacrifice for him........whereas emma always jus says to scott.........jeans dead.......to stop tinkin about her........
Perhaps a girlfriend who's not accepted as such by almost any other X-Men, is constantly compared to Jean, has constantly to deal with a lover who loves her in return but still keeps thinking about his ex?! Just a thought!
Do you really think a women who is either allmighty, evil, dead or any combination of these feats and is unable to bring Scott to open himself to her is truly better for him?
Btw...lately Emma even came to an acceptance of Scott's thinking about Jean (see Endsong) even during their sex, because she realized the futility of trying to suppress such thoughts. Scott admitted, that Jean would simply have walked away in fury instead of confronting him and talking about it to achieve a mutual understanding, like Emma did.
