The Stepford Cuckoos are five powerful telepaths - cloned daughters of Emma Frost's - who can combine their telepathic abilities to create a much more powerful hive-mind. The Cuckoos are currently acting as psychic emissaries to the mutant nation & are residing at The White Palace in Krakoa with Emma Frost.
In the Phoenix Warsong final, they say that the girls' hearts truned to dimond and they'll never feel enything ever again. But they seem pretty normal by the end of the second New X-Men series. Did they retcon or just forget about that? Or was it corrected it at somepoint that I missed?
They acted cold & distant in New X-Men. It's in Uncanny X-Men where they were uncharacteristically smiling away. That's a fault on the artist & writer. That's one of MANY reasons I don't pick up Uncanny X-Men.
@pixie_child: They are completely fine now. I forgot when it occurred (at the start of Second Coming I think) when Hope came back everyone who had ties to the phoenix force was shown. The phoenix left the cuckoos, Korvus couldn't use his phoenix blade, and Rachel did something (can't remember). So now they are back to normal.
I'm still curious how the Phoenix escaped their 'flawless diamond hearts.' The whole Warsong story should have been burned, not published. It was dumb.
So, I merely flipped through the Endsong stuff (it was....meh) and stumbled across the bio of the Stepfords...they gained Emma's diamond form? I'd never seen them use it before, but it WOULD explain the idea that they would survive 150 years without aging that future timeline.
