The Cuckoos are a really sad group, and you know eventually it will be down to just one of them left.

In Endsong also, Quentin convinces the Phoenix to resurrect the dead Cuckoo he was in love with. She's so skeeved out that it's him who saved her that she just goes "eww" and almost immediately chooses to die again and the other cuckoos all go "yeah, that's probably how I'd react too"

"Sweet five identical female characters," says Greg Land as he pumps his fists and schedules an early afternoon exit from work.

That was Greg Pak on the Phoenix minis, even saddled with Land I knew he was gonna be a great writer.

FWIW, the Cuckoos being part of Weapon Plus was revealed in the Here Comes Tomorrow arc of New X-Men.

Is there a mutant who hasn't been involved in a Weapon program at this point?

They're minor characters who've never managed to accumulate a significant fan base. Best case they just quit showing up after a while and everyone forgets they were ever a thing. Worst case some writer kills them all off to pump up his new big bad or something and they stay dead forever.

Idk who Quentin quire is but this page makes me think he's basically the comic equivalent of a Reddit niceguy with godlike powers. I wonder if any comic book goober ever had any sort of Epiphany when reading that or if that's too.much to hope for.

He's got a good character arc throughout the Wolverine/Spiderman and the X-men stuff as an immature brat who slowly grows up. Before that I guess he was basically a wannabe mutant terrorist?

Toshimo posted:Idk who Quentin quire is but this page makes me think he's basically the comic equivalent of a Reddit niceguy with godlike powers. Not even close. He's a huge British punk wannabe that forms a group of misfits to be dicks to everyone. He's the bad kid at school in Morrison's New X-men. It's interesting how many enduring new characters came from that run. I'd say, as a medium grade X-men fan, that it's the run that most set the groundwork for where the X-books are now. Pretty much if you want to get into modern X-men, start with Morrison's stuff.

Before that I guess he was basically a wannabe mutant terrorist? He wasn't part of Spider-Man and the X-Men (you might be thinking of Hellion,) but yeah, his arc in WatXM was pretty clearly pushing him toward heroism in a refreshingly organic way. I've only read the volumes before AvX, but it seemed to me like he was trying really hard to be his usual bratty self while slowly coming to terms with the fact that he's really not the villain he wanted people to think he is.
