He considered Emma and offered her the opportunity to shine with the rebellious girl refusing as she intended to make her own way. She left home with only $400 in her savings account with her deciding to start from the bottom. (New X-Men v1 #139) At the age of sixteen, she was disinherited and homeless but managed to steal a dress for herself in order to enter a club in order to use her powers to take stock information from peoples minds. Whilst there, she met Harry Leland but he came across too strong to her and she ended up running away. She was kidnapped behind the Club where she also encountered the Dark Beast. During this time, Sean Cassidy arrived on the scene with his NYPD partner where they battled the Dark Beast whilst Leland followed them. With so many present, Frost decided to use her powers to wipe the incident from all three peoples mind and made them forget encountering her. (Generation X v1 #-1)
She later went as a dancer at the Hellfire Club where she used her telepathic powers to make people see what they wanted to see. (New X-Men v1 #139)
Shaw decided to use Emma as part of a wager against the elusive Club member Elias Bogan through his minion Oliver Ryland. If Sebastian won, he would gain Elias's fortune but if Shaw lost than Bogan would get Emma Frost as the prize. However, Shaw's aide Tessa helped him cheat in the game allowing him to win with Bogan honouring the bet. (X-Treme X-Men v1 #41)

She later recruited the aid of Iceman to help her brother Christian who remained trapped at the family home due to her father. Emma came to learn that her father had died years ago when Christian's telepathic powers manifested as a cruel version of Winston Frost who masqueraded as the real one. Together with Bobby Drake, they managed to help Christian come to terms with himself whereupon she agreed to go alongside him in managing the family business of Frost Technologies. (Iceman v4 #2) Emma then arranged an elaborate ploy to steal the fortune from Sebastian Shaw in the Hellfire Club in order to place herself as the group's new Black King.

To secure the Hellfire Trading Company's activities, Frost managed to convince Kitty Pryde to head a mobile ocean-going crew that would deliver Krakoan medicinals to locations whilst smuggling Mutants out of countries that were persecuting them. (Marauders v1 #1) She learnt of Sebastian Shaw's own machinations that involved using mercenaries to divert Krakoa's pharmaceuticals shipments to Africa and instead sell them to wealthy clients in first world nations.
