39. Emma Frost (Black Delegation) – Racial Draft Season 2
Emma Frost’s new “blackstory” — as per Randy Smith — is as follows:EMMA FROST, THE WHITE QUEEN:
Strong willed, sharp witted socialite Emma Frost burst onto the high society scene seemingly out of nowhere. Who was this charming Black woman whose beauty was so stunning, who had such discriminating taste in leisure and luxury, who was just so well-spoken, and whose strategic prowess could not be denied?
No one would ever guess that she started out in life as Emma Franklin, whose librarian mother and plumber father feared their kids would never get much further in life than their home neighborhood.
So many in Emma’s community feared mutants, saw them as monsters. Yet when her father learned she could read minds and sway thoughts in a more favorable direction, all he saw was dollar signs. And he made sure to let his daughter Emma know it. She always had smarts, but when she fell short for, say, a crucial test, maybe she could pick the teacher’s brain, for a little hand-up. And of course, her work ethic was never a problem, but when time came to seek internships or job promotions, or rub elbows with the illustrious and secretive Hellfire Club…a mental ‘nudge’ in the right direction never hurt.
By the time she met the X-Men, Emma Franklin had now changed her surname to Frost, to suit not only her luxurious new diamond-studded lifestyle, but her iced-out newfound secondary mutation. For years, the mutant heroes’ pursuit of harmony with humans just didn’t sit right with Emma. And too often, they interfered in her plans to make money moves. Though, over time, she had to admit, the way they operated wasn’t as bad as she first thought. They helped her see that she had more than just an uncompromising business mind; she had a fiercely loyal and nurturing heart toward her fellow mutants.
Eventually, circumstances would make her put differences aside and aid the X-Men. Their first alliance was reluctant, yet Emma Frost soon proved herself invaluable, for her firm hand with young students and her unrelenting strategic talent for taking enemies to school.
The Black delegation has also provided a fancast: Megan Thee Stallion

16. Krakoa (Black Delegation) – Racial Draft Season 2
Krakoa’s new “blackstory” — as per Randy Smith — is as follows:
A few short millennia after the world’s one land became many, a man dwelled in a place that would eventually be called Africa.
To his people, he was only Kwame, yet his status was far more. They knew some born with power were dangerous and frightening, but Kwame connected with earth, coaxed forth its bounty. He was only ever a divine gift. For a time.
No one knew what happened, what the gods desired, that made Kwame change. All they knew, the earth quaked in anger; if there was any saving to be done, Kwame would do it. Not by force of will or entreating the gods. After much giving, it seemed the gods now demanded a return.
On a favorable day, Kwame looked back to his people, then over the edge of the coastal cliff where he stood. Without fear, he leaned forth, and fell.
Plunging into the harsh ocean depths, any other could expect death at any moment. Yet, what Kwame thought was his end was just a new start. Rather than bearing him down to death, the waters carried him aloft for weeks, nourished him with salt and sediment. No need to eat, sleep or even breathe.
By the time he landed on an island, located where people would eventually call the Pacific Ocean, his whole being changed. His body was heavy with earth that accumulated from the ocean, but his mind was light. So much nature took its place in his mind, his past was but a spark of memory, a waking dream in a mind that now so desperately craved slumber.
Yet when he woke, it may as well have been for the first time. He peered out, surrounded by unfamiliar faces with unfamiliar skin. His former self would have panicked that they seemed so small before him or that he could not move, but this new self wondered. This word they chanted, Krakatau, Krakatau!
Were they speaking to…him? It had a nice ring to it, that word; perhaps he could try it out himself. The earthen mountainside now comprising his face creaked, cracked, split open, and with a gravelly growl, he attempted it, “Kra…Krakoa?”
