Trivia[]
- In this episode, it is revealed for the first time that the Cuckoo sisters are working for the newly reformed Hellfire Club. In the X-Men comics, the Hellfire Club had an Inner Circle of wealthy mutants led by Sebastian Shaw and Emma Frost. They set out to rule the world. The X-Men fought them many times. The Hellfire Club also made an appearance in X-Men: First Class.
- The names of Esme's clone sisters are revealed to be Sophie and Phoebe. In the comics, Esme and Sophie are dead, with the other surviving Cuckoos alongside Phoebe being Celeste and Mindee (aka Irma). It remains to be seen if the Cuckoos have more sisters on the show.
- Sage states when Sophie and Phoebe were arrested they gave the last name of Cuckcoo instead of Frost. In the comics, they were the Cuckcoo sisters.
- The triplets, known in Marvel comics as the Stepford Cuckoos, we're originally 5 identical females known as "5 in 1" but 2 were eventually killed.
- It's found that the triplets use the last name "Frost". In Marvel comics, the Stepford Cuckoos were created by harvesting the ovum of the mutant Emma Frost.
- Polaris is told by one of the triplets that her "real father" was a member of the Hellfire Club, a king, and that that makes her royalty! In Marvel comics, Polaris' father is Magneto.
