A telepathic hive mind of identical sisters, cloned from Emma Frost. Originally five (Esme and Sophie died), the remaining three Cuckoos share a gestalt consciousness that makes them one of the most powerful telepathic forces on Earth. Cool, detached, and unsettlingly synchronized, they are Emma's legacy in ways she never intended.
