Why you should be picked for: I chose Celeste for her perfect attitutde, her skills, her powers, and everything else about this character.

History: The Stepford Cuckoos were the proteges of Emma Frost and, along with Kid Omega, the strongest telepaths among the fourth-generation students at the Xavier Institute of Higher Learning. Although Kid Omega and the Stepford Cuckoos were rivals, Kid Omega had a crush on Sophie. Sophie and the other Cuckoos considered him to be disgusting and rejected him completely. Partly as an expressions of adolescent rebellion, partly under the influence of the drug Kick, and partly out of a desire to impress Sophie, Kid Omega incited a riot at the X-Mansion. Sophie died stopping Kid Omega.[1] The Stepford Cuckoos held Frost to be partially responsible for Sophie's death and disassociated themselves from Frost at that time. With the death of Sophie, the Five-in-One became the Four-in-One.
Soon afterwards, Esme attempted to murder Frost, an attempt which failed. Esme fled the X-Mansion, and it was revealed that Esme had really been responsible for Sophie's death. Esme wanted to seize control of the Cuckoos, but had a hard time doing so because Sophie was the dominant personality and the strongest telepath. Therefore, Esme had concocted a plan to become dominant by using Kick to amplify her own powers and by manipulating Sophie into overextending her telepathic powers to the point of death. With the departure of Esme, the Four-in-One were now the Three-in-One.
Esme returned, revealing that Esme had been working for Magneto (who had masqueraded as Xorn) the entire time. When Esme turned him in, Magneto killed her. (It was later revealed that the person who was apparently Magneto was actually a Magneto impostor).[2]

Kid Omega, still in love with Sophie, exhumed and resurrected her, but she promptly chose to die again once she realized why Kid Omega had wanted to resurrect her.

After the Institute was rebuilt, with Emma Frost and Cyclops as headmasters and leaders of the X-Men. Frost and Summers divided the older students into several six-person training squads, each taught by a staff member. The remaining three Cuckoos, now calling themselves the Three-in-One, were assigned to the Corsairs squad, led by Frost's boyfriend Cyclops. The three girls were the co-leaders of the squad.

In the wake of M-Day, in which the vast majority of the world's mutant population was depowered, the Cuckoos retained their powers. With few students left, the squad system was dissolved. Frost ordered the depowered students and staff to return to their homes; as several buses filled with depowered individuals left the Institute, anti-mutant religious zealot Reverend William Stryker bombed one bus, killing many depowered students.

Emma Frost placed the remaining students into an all-out brawl to determine who would be part of an in-training X-Men team. The Cuckoos, still resentful of Emma, refused to participate. Instead, they ran to Cyclops and informed him of Frost's plan, of which he was unaware. They still resided at the Xavier Institute.

The Stepford Cuckoos were identified as Weapon XIV (each girl being units 1 to 5, ordered alphabetically by their first names), the living weapon code between Weapon XIII (Fantomex) and Weapon XV (Ultimaton).[3]

Three-In-OneManipulated by both the Phoenix and Sublime, the Cuckoos awoke their dead sisters and traveled to the World, a laboratory created by Weapon Plus with technology capable of manipulating time, where Fantomex, Huntsman and Ultimaton were created. During the sisters' visit to "The World," they were greeted by a computer image of John Sublime. It was discovered that the Phoenix fragment had manifested in order to destroy the Cuckoos and all of their clones to prevent them from being activated as a weapon and kill all mutants - Sophie and Esme being the first such casualties of its purge. Emma, Mindee, and Phoebe were successful in stunting Celeste's linkage with the Phoenix; only to be ambushed by Sublime's machinery, which absorbed the cosmic fragment and distributed it among each of the cloned telepaths. Now referring to themselves as the Thousand-in-One and under Sublime's control; the cosmically-empowered psychics proceeded to enact their programmed destiny of mutant destruction. Celeste however, who was still in partial control of both herself and her sisters' super-mind, alerted the X-Men that they could short-circuit the girls' linkage by destroying Sublime's machinery; which they did. Phoebe, distraught at having lost access to the cosmic power, sent a bolt of her last remaining energy through the facility's floor, prompting an explosion that would destroy everything within a half-mile radius. Celeste, at Emma's behest, accepted her role as a Phoenix host, and stopped the explosion by temporarily freezing localized time. She then went on to destroy the thousand-strong Cuckoo clones, by shattering their newly-manifested Diamond forms; before casting the entity out of her body. It however, refused to depart the area; to which Celeste reacted by reabsorbing force into her own and her two remaining sisters' diamond hearts. Unlike their mother's diamond composition, the Cuckoo's hearts didn't have a single flaw; and as such, nothing could destroy, enter, or escape them, even the splintered Phoenix itself. The price the sisters paid for this was that they could never again feel emotion; thus leaving them even more cold-hearted and detached from their fellow man than they were before.

The girls helped Elixir gain knowledge on Science via Beast's brain. They, too were teleported to Limbo with the other students and captured. They had helmets placed on them to keep them asleep and to stop them using their powers. They were freed by a newly revived X-23.

When the Hulk attacked Xavier, the Astonishing X-Men and the New X-Men, the Stepford Cuckoos contacted several other X-teams such as Excalibur, the Uncanny X-team, and X-Factor to get their help.

The Cuckoos joined the remaining X-men in San Francisco. During the Secret Invasion, they assisted in the evacuation of a San Francisco Hospital
