  1. Um, wasn’t the cause of death blatantly Magneto shoving one of her ear-rings through her head and out the other side? Or did I misinterpret the art?

  2. Phil,
    My interpretation of the art is that part was the earings through the brain, though there was also a clash of mutant powers. That’s why I called it “psychic/physical trauma” because I wasn’t entirely sure where one ended and the other began.

  3. Shame, that. I liked the Stepford Cuckoos. Whatever happened to the 3rd one?

  4. There were actually 5 Stepford Cuckoos, so there are three left now. They occasionally show up in the newer New X-Men (formerly Academy X).
