They're both playable characters in the game, so maybe not? Assuming that the comic is once again only covering up to the events of the game. They could die in the game I guess.

Injustice 2 is about what happens after the events of the game, and I think is setting up the upcoming Injustice 2 video game.

I know, I meant that Green Arrow and Black Canary are characters in the Injustice 2 game so they're probably not dying any time soon in the comic.

I'm not that well versed in X-Men history but even I got that it's all the people connected to the Phoenix. Though I'm not sure where a couple like Quire and the Cuckoos come in on that. The others are the Phoenix Five, Rachel, and various versions of Jean.

Quire was definitely connected to the phoenix during Endsong, where he was basically a gross zombie.

On the one hand, God do I hate Endsong. On the other hand, Quentin Quire improves every story he's in, and God knows a Jean Grey ongoing will need all the help it can get.

There's been at least one time travel comic where QQ was a big time Hero and the host to the Phoenix force in the future.

He's the Phoenix host in the all new X Men when the future X-team with grown up Molly and Iron Man Jr. Unless that's Endsong and y'all are already talking about it.

i seem to recall that at the end of the first qq story he ended up comatose and then his disembodied mind popped up in an unexplained assembly of phoenix hosts. maybe i'm mixing stories up, though?

Nah, he wasn't on the Brotherhood team from the future but now that you mention it I think he's on the regular X-Men team as Phoenix when they travel to the future at one point in that series.

Yeah I probably confused that. Anyway, I'm for sure he's a Phoenix host at some point, just maybe not when exactly.

Yeah, he was the Phoenix host when they went to the future as part of Battle of the Atom; it's also why the kid QQ was so mopey and emo at the end of WatX (before Wolverine died), since his future was set in stone or something dumb like that.

He was on the team that featured Mustache Colossus and Gandalf Iceman, as the Phoenix host.

which is dumb as hell because both bishop and rachel grey have been running around for years and their alternate futures are dead.

Yeah, at the end of his arc in the Morrison X-comics his body was freaking out because he kept on taking mutant drugs and he eventually explodes and there's a scene of him joining the other Phoenix hosts in the White Hot Room.

I liked that whole scenario immediately after that when they try explain what happened.

Quire's been covered, but the Cuckoos were host to the Phoenix during Phoenix: Warsong.

IIRC, the survivng Cuckoos (3 out of 5) ended up having to keep their hearts shifted into diamond form to contain minute fractions of the Phoenix Force to keep it from reassembling and recycling Earth. Which didn't help the creepy psycho psychic clone vibe at all.

And thus they all collapsed when it came time to run-up for AvX, and every little bit of Phoenix everywhere said :byewhore: and reassembled (which it probably could have done at any time).

We need a Phoenix compilation that isn't just Jean Grey/clones/alternate versions/relatives and a few other mutants. Like the assorted Ghost Riders:

Ah, that explains it. I read Endsong a little bit ago for the first time and it mentioned that the side effect of the Cuckoos' hearts being diamond was that they would never feel any emotion again. I was wondering if that ever got fixed or the writers just forgot about it.

That was from Warsong, not Endsong. The same mini that revealed the Cuckoos were part of the Weapons Plus program, and clones/daughters of Emma Frost. I don't think any of that has ever been acknowledged beyond "that one time the Cuckoos were host to the Phoenix".
