Since Esme and Sophie are not really the original clone, the 2 boys could not bond with them psychically and retreat to the others to be 17-in-one. The other 3 boys bonded with the other cuckoos and empathized with the X-men. The 17-in-One want to overtake Krakoa mechanism to revive their lost brothers, set up conflicts of X-men vs the boys, and the Boy 3-in1 vs Boy 17-in-1. Maybe, in the end, Emma felt protective toward her sons and let them go to Mars, where the boys set up their own country and constantly fight the Arakko.
Such fun idea, don't you think? The 5 boys could have the first letter of each of the boy's name to spell out the word "NSYNC"
