The issue goes on to reveal that the Celeste/Phoenix combination has manifested for the purpose of destroying the Cuckoo clones the entity wasting no time in incinerating Esme, Sophie, and the deformed rejected clones. Many may notice the similarity between this plotline and that outlined by the second X-Men movie, X-Men 2: X-Men United though here, the Three-In-One replace Professor X and their myriad of cloned sisters replace the duplicated Cerebro. With all three Cuckoos focusing the combined power of their thousandfold sisters, they would have the ability to obliterate any number of mental signatures that they chose - in essence, giving them the ability to simultaneously eliminate all of mutantkind, worldwide, by simply concentrating on mutants' unique mental wavelengths. The Three-In-One were to be linked with three egg-like compartments of the machinery which binds the clones, acting as its focal point. It is shown that the cloned sisters serve as telepathic antennae, their sheer number granting them projection and reception capabilities at a global range.
The fourth issue reveals the Cuckoo's original purpose. It was also shown that Celeste now wields the Phoenix Force. The clones begin to refer to Frost as "mother", a title which she later accepts. They were harvested from her by John Sublime, the Director of Weapon Plus, at some point during her coma following the death of the original Hellions. In the third issue, it was revealed that Emma's ova were the genetic templates used to clone the hundreds of identical telepaths including the Five-In-One. The two deceased Cuckoos, now undead but still decayed, appear and are more aware of the unfolding events than the Three-In-One. And finally, the episode concludes with the Three-In-One's discovery that they're only three of nearly a thousand identical female units-the remainder residing in individual incubation chambers hidden within an underground laboratory.
Emma goes on to discover that the girls had placed all of the X-Men, including its most powerful telepaths, into a looping psionic memory-block which would disable their linear thought process whenever they began to question the Cuckoos' origin.
We also learn that they have the ability to mentally communicate with each other in binary language, at a rate far too rapid for other telepaths to decipher. It is shown that the girls' bones are actually composed of or bonded to a yet-to-be disclosed metal. In the second issue, several revelations come to the forefront: both for the audience, as well as the Cuckoos themselves. Kid Omega also wakes, once again, from his stasis in Beast's lab. With their newfound abilities, the girls overcome Emma Frost's psychic detention and resurrect their deceased sisters Esme and Sophie. In the first issue, a piece of the Phoenix Force attaches itself to the three remaining Stepford Cuckoos, amplifies their telepathic power, and gives them the power of telekinesis. The story revolves around the Stepford Cuckoos and includes the team from Astonishing X-Men.
