Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Stepford Cuckoos, also known as the Three-in-One or Five-in-One, depending on how many are alive at the time, are a set of Marvel Comics characters created by Grant Morrison and Ethan Van Sciver, first appearing in New X-Men #118 (dated November 2001).Introduced as a mutant quintet comprised of Celeste, Esme, Irma, Phoebe, and Sophie, as The Cuckoos are genetically-engineered clones of Emma Frost. Conceived as "Weapon XIV", they were an attempt to create a mass-killing weapon against mutantkind, specifically through telepathic assault.As the genetic daughters of Emma Frost, they're a devastatingly powerful telepath hive mind, and have shown themselves to be worthy of hosting the Phoenix Force.Outside of comics, the Cuckoos have appeared in other media. Most notably, they (specifically Esme, Sophie, and Phoebe) appear on FOX's X-Men drama The Gifted, portrayed there by Skyler Samuels. These versions of the characters are shown to be mutant extremists working with the Hellfire Club, eventually getting caught up with the efforts of the Mutant Underground.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Sealed Inside a Person-Shaped Can: As a part of their purpose as weapons against the Phoenix they can turn their hearts into unfeeling diamond to seal slivers of it away within themselves. | |

Catholic Schoolgirls Rule: When not in X-Men uniforms, they tend to wear schoolgirl outfits, mostly a plaid skirt, a shirt or blouse with suspenders and boots or leather shoes. | |

Twin Telepathy | |
| Stepford Cuckoos (Comic Book) / int_5c059fbd | comment |
Twin Telepathy: The Cuckoos are a telepathic Hive Mind, which amplifies their powers. They feel incomplete whenever one or more of their number is missing, to the point of taking extreme measures (including pulling a Grand Theft Me on X-23's sister) to get one of them back. | |

Psychic Powers | |
| Stepford Cuckoos (Comic Book) / int_874176be | comment |
Psychic Powers: The Stepford Cuckoos are powerful telepaths, who can combine their telepathic abilities to create an even more powerful hive-mind. Their telepathic powers include broadcasting and receiving thoughts, mind control, planting illusions, blasts of pure psionic energy, seeing through another person's eyes, and also are so powerful that they are one of the few people able to operate Cerebra. Additionally they have some level of telekinesis though they seldom use it. | |

Partial Transformation: Unlike their genetic donor, Emma, they're capable of only partially assuming their diamond form as they wish. They have since overcome this limitation and can fully assume a diamond form. | |

Back from the Dead | |
| Stepford Cuckoos (Comic Book) / int_8967e17f | comment |
Back from the Dead: Sophie and Esme died relatively early in their history, and have since returned from the dead on a number of occasions, only to die again at the conclusion of the plot. While they were meant to be Killed Off for Real in X-23 #5, it's since been revealed that Sophie and Esme have been resurrected again by Krakoa as part of House of X and Dawn of X. | |

| Stepford Cuckoos (Comic Book) / int_8c00901a | comment |
Creepy Good: When they're fighting for good, they're firmly this trope. Despite their good intentions, other characters can't help but remark how disturbing and off-putting the Cuckoos can be, especially when they speak in unison. | |

Status Quo Is God | |
| Stepford Cuckoos (Comic Book) / int_a6e8221e | comment |
Status Quo Is God: For a time the Cuckoos were reduced from Five to Three-In-One, as Sophie and Esme were both killed as a result of Esme's machinations. Since then, the two sisters have been resurrected a number of times, only to die again as the plot concludes. Sophie and Esme are back again in Dawn of X, but it's anyone's guess whether it will stick this time. After a stretch as a Blonde, Brunette, Redhead, Celeste, Irma, and Phoebe reverted to their original blonde appearance. | |

Only Known by Their Nickname | |
| Stepford Cuckoos (Comic Book) / int_a7850fbf | comment |
Only Known by Their Nickname: Which name Irma goes by tends to be rather inconsistent since her proper name was never given when the girls were originally introduced. As a result, sometimes Mindee is treated like a name she gave herself, other times she only ever goes by her proper name. Sometimes Mindee is used as if it were her real name. | |

Emotionless Girl | |
| Stepford Cuckoos (Comic Book) / int_b9db28ab | comment |
Emotionless Girl: A part of their creepiness is their general emotional distance as a gestalt. Their diamond form also dampens their emotions until they're completely gone. | |

Fun with Acronyms | |
| Stepford Cuckoos (Comic Book) / int_c25c7890 | comment |
Fun with Acronyms: Their initials were intended to spell "spice", as an Easter Egg. Unfortunately, this was never made explicit and one sister was left unnamed at the end of New X-Men. The next writer named her "Mindee". Her actual name was later revealed to be "Irma", restoring the acronym. | |

Cain and Abel: Esme and Sophie, respectively. Sophie was the most unambiguously heroic and powerful of the five, while Esme was the most overtly villainous and cunning. Phoebe, Mindee, and Celeste are more generally in the middle, though leaning towards "good." | |
