After going through a secondary mutation that allowed her to cover her body in diamond, she joined the Xavier School and the X-Men, at various points leading the team and dating its other leader, Cyclops.<\/p>\n<p>Related Video<\/p>\n<p>Frost has appeared in live action before, most\u00a0prominently by January Jones in\u00a0<em>X-Men: First Class<\/em>. <em>X-Men Origins: Wolverine\u00a0<\/em>also featured a bit character named Emma with diamond skin, played by Tahyna Tozzi.<\/p>\n<p>Weaving, meanwhile, is coming off\u00a0<em>Ready or Not 2: Here I Come<\/em> and Jorma Taccone\u2019s\u00a0<em>Over Your Dead Body<\/em>.
