Um.. White Queen? When did she get the power to, um, change into diamond or whatever it was that she did in Astounishing #2?

Unbeknownst to the X-Men, she and Scott have been married for quite some time, and it was their diamond anniversary.

I think it was the Genosha massacre.
Did they every figure out who did it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There has been a lot of secondary mutation going on in the Marvel universe -- see Excalibur for Charles's worrying about it.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Yep and yep. Emma developed the new powers as a sort of "survival mechanism" when the Genoshan massacre hit.

Maybe she'll give birth to a goddess in a few months.

t stifles Polter-Cow over in the corner Er... so what was the Genoshan Massacre, and was it anything like the one at Alice's Restaurant?

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
As I recall, what happened at Alice's Restaurant was a massacree. Totally different head.

Genosha was a island nation in the SouthEast Asian area, with a population in the millions, faintly based on Singapore.
Mutants were enslaved there and used for industrial purposes. Later the mutants rebelled and formed a mutant friendly state. Magneto ruled it for a while, I think.
Then the entire population of the island was mysteriously killed by violence/explosions.
For a while it was treated as a mystery who orchestrated the massacre of presumbly millions of people. Not sure if they ever revealed who it was.
I consider the most unlikely bit of the scearnio was that supposedly most other nations on Earth yawned and wrote it off, basically because it was just mutants. In reality the fact that someone or something could mysteriously kill millions of people without revealing their identity would scare and piss off virtually every nation on Earth, if for no other reason that one of their enemies may figure out how to do it to them...
