Five-In-One
Graymalkin Residents
Canon/Original: Canon

Codenames: Five-In-One, Stepford Cuckoos, Weapon IV

Real Names: Sophie Cuckoo, Phoebe Cuckoo, Irma Cuckoo, Celeste Cuckoo, and Esme Cuckoo
Nicknames: Irma goes by "Mindee"

Ages: Just over 2 years; biologically 16 years old

Gender: Female


Appearances: Each one of the Cuckoos are identical, being identical quintuplets. Each blonde girl stands at 5' 6", their slim figures weigh 105 lbs, and they all have proud, shining blue eyes. They wear their shining blonde hair either short or as long as they want. While still young, each girl has the subtle curving figure inherited from their mother, Emma Frost, and have very delicate and pretty faces, promising great attractiveness when they finish maturing.


Clothing: Like their mother, the Cuckoos like the finer things in life when it comes to clothes. For day to day things, the Cuckoos match with plaid skirts that fall just above their knees, white blouses with short sleeves, black socks pulled all the way up to their knees, and black, highly polished dress shoes. They aren't above wearing the latest highly expensive designer jeans, flip-flops, tank tops, blouses, dresses, sunglasses, purses, and the like.

In order to portray a bit of individuality and help people tell them apart, each Cuckoo wears a hairpin that is her own favorite color; Sophie's is red, Phoebe's is light pink, Mindee's is light blue, Celeste's is yellow, and Esme's is green.

For battle situations, the Cuckoos don white bodysuits that have armored padding that corresponds to their favorite colors.

Powers: As high-order telepaths, the Cuckoos are a unique, telepathic hive-mind. They use their powers in unison, in the form of a gestalt mind, staying in constant telepathic contact the vast majority of the time.

Gestalt Mind-Link: The Cuckoos have the ability to combine their minds into one super-mind, one pool of their collective psychic power. Inside the gestalt, the Cuckoos achieve total unity, but also retain individuality. From this pool, they can draw the strength to perform greater psychic potential than they ever could apart.

Telepathy/Telepathic Illusion/Tacking/Disguise/Cloaking: Each Cuckoo has telepathic powers. On their own or together, each girl can read the minds and project thoughts and images into another. While actively linked and using this power, the Cuckoos can create highly realistic illusions that could fool the most perceptive eye. They can also read the most powerful minds with almost no effort on their part, failing only against tremendous willpower and individuals like Professor Charles Xavier, Jean Grey, and Emma Frost, their progenitor. Each of the Cuckoos has psionic senses so powerful that they can track other people by their unique thought patterns. This sense is stronger if the person they are tracking poses a threat to their lives or in their vicinity. The Cuckoos can also alter people's perceptions about them in order to change their appearances in the onlooker's mind's eye. Each girl can also alter the mental engrams of any person to make them go undetected for long periods of times by Cerebro-like devices and other telepaths.

Mind Control/Link/Possession/Manipulation: The Cuckoos are able to "hi-jack" the minds of others to control their physical actions, even alter their thoughts and personalities permanently through intense concentration over a gradual amount of time. They can only control one person at a time and that person has to be in their physical presence. The girls can also forge a mental link with any person they meet and establish a basic connection with.

Psionic Blasts: The Cuckoos can project bolts of psionic energy into the minds of a target. It has no physical effects, but the blast can cause dizzying pain, amnesia, paralysis, and unconsciousness.

Organic Diamond Form: The Cuckoos have the ability to transform their bodies into a diamond-like substance while still maintaining normal mobility. Their skin becomes translucent and diamond-like, they do not require food and water for long periods of time, and while in this state, they are immune to telepathic attacks, but cannot give any of their own. They can physically exert themselves for up to a day, and they're able to move up to 5 tons. They enter this state voluntarily, and if knocked unconscious, they will remain in this state until they come to and voluntarily change back. Their diamond forms, unlike their progenitor Emma Frost, completely flawless. No weak spot exists on them. They can either shift completely or change parts of their bodies, from limbs to organs.

Weakness: The Cuckoos are stronger together than apart. If they were separated, they would still have their powers, just not the boost from the gestalt, and thus weaker.

Personality: Though they are part of a hive mind, the girls' strong personalities diverge in ways that shows clear, distinct persons:

-Sophie: The Dominant One; Determined, driven, and focused, Sophie Cuckoo is the dominant personality among the Cuckoos' gestalt mind. While free-thinking and open to ideas from her sisters and others, when Sophie sets a goal in mind, she expects the Cuckoos to be behind her 100%. Sophie is aware that she is basically the head of the gestalt, and takes her role as "leader" very seriously; debating about who the leader is among the Cuckoos is unacceptable to her.

-Phoebe: Power-hungry, passionate, and ruthless to an extent, Phoebe Cuckoo likes power, likes demonstrating that power, and isn't afraid to use that power. Very outspoken and a little bit precocious, Phoebe is slightly cynical and doesn't take the opinions of others very seriously, no matter who they are. She is right and everyone else is wrong in her perfect world. She accepts Sophie's "rule" because she knows she can be a bit unruly when angered, while she sees Sophie as a sort of "rock", the foundation of the Cuckoos, something she doesn't think she could ever be. But she will never admit this to anyone.

-Mindee: Loving, slightly sarcastic, and artistic, Irma "Mindee" Cuckoo is sort of the "soul" of the group, if Sophie is the "brain". She isn't above rolling her eyes at anyone who says something she considers stupid, but she rarely speaks up against a person in authority. She loves music of all sorts, isn't afraid to dance crazily behind closed doors, and likes to play the piano. A bit more emotional than the other Cuckoos when it comes to others, Mindee is open to befriending others outside of her sisters and establishing relationships.

-Celeste: Reserved, a little shy, and slightly less driven than her sisters, Celeste Cuckoo isn't interested in power, putting her at odds with Phoebe at moments. She doesn't like using her powers in a really offensive way, preferring to use their psychic powers in a defensive, often evasive manner, rather than do real harm. She's a bit of a tattletale, not above going to others if she thinks her sisters are doing something wrong. She isn't a people person and would prefer to stay inside, "chill", and think to herself privately, outside of the gestalt.

-Esme: Highly independent, selfish, and ambitious beyond belief, Esme Cuckoo is perhaps the most rebellious of the five, even more so than Phoebe. Rather than desiring raw power, Esme would prefer to have authority, which she thinks is more than power. She wants to control the Cuckoos, but Sophie continues to block her from doing so. Highly intelligent, Esme could be described as more driven than Sophie in reality. She will strive to achieve a goal by any means necessary whatsoever, even if that meant sacrificing her sisters. Despite this distance, the Cuckoos are still her family, her sisters, and if anyone threatens them (outside of some premeditated plot of hers to hurt them), they will meet her full, concentrated, controlled wrath.

All together, the Cuckoos are rather mischievous with a hint of malicious intent for all those that stand in their way. Though some seem to have a tough exterior, the Cuckoos are very aware of each other's feelings and often stay awake deep into the night talking and laughing in each other's minds about various things, like sisters do. Though some would seem to want to control the gestalt, that doesn't necessarily mean they want to "rule" their sisters as much as desire to control their power. They're chiefly sisters, through and through… and with sisterhood comes jealousy and rivalry.


History: The Cuckoo Sisters have an interesting past. They were grown from the stolen ova of Emma Frost, the powerful telepath and White Queen of the Hellfire Club. While she slept, her fellow HFC members, Sebastian Shaw and Selene, committed a dastardly deed; pumping gas into her chambers, they put her in a coma, surgically removed one of her eggs, then, with the help of specialists from Weapon X, filled in the month of time lost from the procedure, and buried the memory of acts deep within the conspirators' minds, hidden from her telepathy. With the help of Weapon X's resources and equipment, the ova were used to create 5 copies of Frost, with subtle DNA manipulations to ensure certain specific differences between progenitor and product, mainly in the function of their powers and appearances.

The new "Weapon XIV" wasn't going to fall back into the hands of Weapon X, though. Shaw and Selene killed all those involved in the operation and then hid the copies away in a remote facility in California, far away from Frost. Their they grew and matured, locked away in stasis tanks, unaware of the world. Under the eye of the HFC, the 5 were tested and experimented on further, grooming them to be tools in their hands and ultimately, a weapon against the White Queen. However, as things turned out, both Shaw and Selene fell from power and the Five were abandoned, their caretakers leaving them locked away and frozen, dead to the world.

However, the Five felt the psionic energy field of the world being affected by the strife around them as Sentinels ravaged the mutant community, and almost as a cry for help, they reached out to find a kindred spirit of sorts with their subconscious. Of course, that primal cry for help reached only one individual: Emma Frost herself. Immediately driven by a sort of subliminal motherly need, Frost located the Five, freed them, and took them home with her. Young in mind, weak in body, and basically infants in pre-teen form, Emma had to care for the Five sisters carefully. Though she knew what they were just by looking at them, recognizing herself in them instantly, she wasn't going to let them know exactly who she was to them right away. So, as they rapidly matured, she told them they had been rescued from Purifiers, who had possession of them from an early age and had tortured them and kept them drugged, which led to their "amnesia". She rescued them personally and brought them home to be cared for, as she saw potential in them.

Telling them their surname was "Cuckoo", Emma Frost herself named them Sophie, Phoebe, Irma, Celeste, and Esme. Buying the story from beginning, the Cuckoos vowed to serve and learn under Frost as her humble students. For the past year, they have furthered their vast powers and not doubted a word the White Queen told them. While at first they were not allowed outside of her headquarters and penthouse, their mentor has decided they might as well get used to the world she planned for them to inherit someday…
