A little overview of Changeling's gradual change as he morphs into Morph.

The Sea Beauty has seen a lot of updates to her look over the years, with the recent MCU Talokan reboot of Atlantis being the most exaggerated change, with Marvel Snap marrying the two looks a little.

Updating her MCOC Wishlist entry a little, albeit overdue, to reflect the changes.

With our new entry for this purpose, you can now vote for Kabam to add any Swordbearer of Arakko to Marvel Contest of Champions

There were too many to add individually, but together they seem like an important moment in recent mutant history.

Polling: FIRESTAR

Marvel Strike Force is getting Firestar. She's decently popular with @MarvelChampions Summoners, recently at at rank 69. Do you think this Amazing Friend of Spider-Man (and Iceman) should be in the #MCOC Battlerealm? Vote!

BLINDFOLD has been added to the MCOC Wishlist

Formerly an awkward, non-combat precog, Ruth Aldine's restored, full psionic power definitely gives #MCOC grounds for a @MarvelChampions kit

spreadsheet cleanup STEPFORD CUCKOOS

ComicVine issues: 1600~1700 Fandom appearances: ~320 across 14 variants 3 video games

I never added them because conceptually they're just “what if: a hivemind of teen Emmas”

But statistically they do merit an @MCOCwishlist listing.

Notes

The Cuckoos were developed by the Weapon Plus (“Weapon X”) Program, from eggs Sublime harvested (without consent) from Emma Frost. The resulting Weapon XIV comprised a thousand cloned daughters with perfected diamond form and a telepathic hive mind. The purpose of this “Thousand-in-One” was to capture, harness, and control the Phoenix Force for Sublime’s nefarious intent to eradicate all mutants in a Cerebro-like effect. While the majority of the thousand lay dormant, five of the sisters infiltrated Xavier Academy as students calling themselves a Five-in-One: Sophie, Phoebe, Irma, Celeste, and Esme. (In school, Irma originally went by the nickname Mindee.) These five—or fewer, depending who remains surviving at any time—are the Stepford Cuckoos.

While the Cuckoos tend to operate as a unit, they have individual personalities, drives, and interests.

Plot tensions circle around their unity or individuality or lack thereof, depending on factors such as the girls’ varying levels of:

chemical state (classically certain members’ exposure and/or addiction to the powers-enhancing drug Kick);

individual willingness to submit to their created villainous fate (nature) versus their heroic training (nurture);

individual (or, sometimes, apparently shared group) romantic interests;

exposure to, involvement with, or possession by cosmic or astral beings or phenomena (most notably the Phoenix Force)

Three-in-One. [SPOILERS] Sophie died in combat leading the hive mind while amplified by Kick; Esme had a hand in that and a murder attempt on Emma while also under the influence of Kick and also was killed. As a result the original five-person squad was reduced to the more iconic and recognizable triplet team of Phoebe, Irma, and Celeste.

Krakoa. [SPOILERS] Predictably, the deceased sisters were eventually brought back, so the Five-in-One has been recently reinstated.
