Ah, she's delightfully haughty and arrogant looking.
Btw, any thoughts on their ranks? From my limited knowledge i.e. vague recollections of the X-Men TV series, they all had ranks corresponding to chess pieces, didn't they? Like Black King or White Knight?

The most common position for women in the Hellfire Club was that of Queen, White or Black or Red. Kings, Bishops, Knights, and Rooks were usually men, I don't know if they ever had Pawns.
As a side-note the idea for the Hellfire Club and making a heroic character into the evil Black Queen came from an episode called "A Touch of Brimstone" on the old tv show, "The Avengers", where super-agent Mrs Peel infiltrated the Club and became the club's Queen of Sin.
The show must've warped Chris Claremont and or John Byrne who thought it'd be cool if a heroine really did become an evil member of such an organization, though it was really only for a very short time.
Some pics of the original Black Queen, or Queen of Sin, Emma Peel, below. And couple of Jean Grey.
Oops! I'll lose nerd-points (or is it geek-points?) if I don't correct that and point out it was ret-conned to actually be the Phoenix-force manifesting itself as a copy of Jean Grey who became the Black Queen... or something. Yay ret-cons; making the convoluted, complicated history of comics just that bit more so. Everyone always seems to end up being related to everyone else with those things too.
