Devil's Reign: X-Men #2: "Truth & Consequences"

[alliterator]

"For the children." -- Emma Frost


Last issue: back in the 1980s (okay, it should be the '80s, but it was probably just, like, ten years ago Marvel-time), both Emma Frost and Elektra worked for the Kingpin. One night, a little girl saw Elektra assassinate someone, so Elektra went to Emma and asked her to mindwipe the girl. However, the Kingpin already got word that there was a witness and, well, he takes more extreme measures to witnesses.

Cue: Emma Frost and Elektra kidnapping the girl...with the help of a special guest.

Not sure it's less excusable, as he's threatening to drive another student to suicide, getting indignant when Emma rebukes him, and heavily implying he'll just use his powers to get others to protect him if they won't do so voluntarily.

He's always used his powers to make his team-mates protect him (and as we saw in the Hellions title, still does), and the threat she makes seems less because of what he's doing, but because he doesn't stop when she tells him to.
