| 23 | ->'''"I know why you're scared. You think {{the Phoenix}} is either going to kill me or drive me crazy. Or maybe both. Just like it did [[ComicBook/JeanGrey Jean]]. But I'm not your dead wife, [[ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} Scott]]. That's not my story. The Phoenix is coming. I know that. And I'm not afraid. I want it to come. I'm ready."'' |
| 24 | -->'''Hope Summers''', ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen'' #0 |
| 25 | |
| 26 | '''Hope Summers''' (birth name: Spalding, given name unknown) is the first mutant to be born after the events of the "ComicBook/HouseOfM" and "Decimation" storylines, in which the ComicBook/ScarletWitch used her reality-altering superpower to turn all but 198 of the world's mutants into regular, depowered humans. Her biological mother is Captain Louise Spalding, an UsefulNotes/{{Alaska}}n firefighter. |
| 27 | \ |
| 28 | [[ComicBook/XMenMessiahComplex Not too long after her birth]], the anti-mutant organization Purifiers attacked her hometown in Coopertown, with the goal of killing Louise Spalding's baby daughter. Although Purifiers killed [[MissingMom Louise]] along with all other [[WouldHurtAChild children]] in the town, ComicBook/{{Cable}} manages to save Louise's baby. Cable and the X-Men believe the baby to be a Messianic figure destined to save both mutant and humankind. Meanwhile, Bishop believes she's the one responsible for the BadFuture he hailed from and seeks to kill her. Cable, with the blessing of the X-Men, is forced to take the baby into the future to raise her, promising to return once the child is ready to fulfill her destiny. However, Cable's time-travelling device is damaged and the two end up in terrible future after terrible future, which the child, later named Hope (after Cable's second wife and the child's own adoptive mother), is forced to grow up in -- All while Bishop chases after them. Eventually, a teenage Hope decides she's ready to return to the modern era. Upon her return, she is still hunted, and Cable is killed as a result. |
| 29 | \ |
| 30 | Hope would form her own team, formed from the new mutants who emerged after her return. Said team would split after the X-Men's Schism, and she would remain with her grandfather, Cyclops. The Phoenix Force would return to Earth, and after a war between the Avengers and X-Men, Hope would use the Phoenix to restore the mutant race. Afterwards, she decided to live the life of a normal teenager, but that didn't take, and she found herself caught in her father's adventures once again, much to her delight. |
| 31 | \ |
| 32 | With the founding of the [[ComicBook/DawnOfX mutant nation]] of Krakoa, Hope once more became a messianic figure among mutantkind as a member of the Five alongside Elixir, Proteus, Egg, and Tempus. Using her mutant abilities to enhance and synch together the powers of the Five, Hope stabilized the resurrection process used to return previously dead mutants back to life. |
| 33 | ---- |
| 34 | * ActionGirl: Let's see, she's been trained in the arts of survival and war since she was a child by one of Marvel's most iconic anti-heroes. She also carries a {{BFG}}. As Teen Jean puts it, faintly impressed, Hope is "kind of hardcore." |
| 35 | * AllYourPowersCombined: She seems to be able to copy the powers of any and every mutant in the vicinity at once. Most of the time in a fight she just copies Cable's power of "shooting a really big gun", which usually works. However, as of ''ComicBook/XMen2019'', she's the most crucial part of 'The Five', who serve as Krakoa's resurrection engine, as her power allows her to best link and stabilize the others. |
| 36 | * AlternateCompanyEquivalent: Marvel copied a lot of concepts for her character (her PowerCopying ability, membership in a TangledFamilyTree, and predilection for heroics) from Peter Petrelli of ''Series/{{HEROES}}'' fame, though personality-wise the two characters are different enough to make her more than just Peter's expy. |
| 37 | * AntiHero: Blunt and abrasive a lot of the time, and not always very kind to (though very protective of) the Lights when she's their team leader, she's definitely this trope - but, like her father and grandfather, she is fundamentally a hero, and becomes more classically heroic in the Krakoan era as she steps up into a leadership position. That said, there's a reason why more than one person remarks, "This is why we shouldn't let Cable raise children." |
| 38 | * BadassFamily: Not just her adoptive family, but her now-deceased biological mom was a BadassNormal firefighter [[TheCaptain captain]], who [[spoiler: turns down Enigma's temptations and defies him even in the face of ''knowing'' that she will end up burning alive, dying horribly and in pain]]. 2024's ''X-Men Forever'' finally reveals the identity of her biological father; [[spoiler: Enigma briefly hijacks the process via time travel, but it's actually another biological ''mother'' - Jean Grey, who reveals that Hope is conceived "from the Phoenix and my love."]] |
| 39 | * BerserkButton: Downplayed, but comparing her to Jean is a very good way to irritate her. Understandable, though, given [[NeverHeardThatOneBefore she's heard it far too often]]. Once Jean returns, this becomes much less of a problem. |
| 40 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: She really, really would just love to try to be a normal girl. But don't try to hurt her Lights. Ever. |
| 41 | * {{BFG}}: Just like [[ComicBook/{{Cable}} her adoptive father]], she likes wielding and using these. Some of them are about the same size that she is. |
| 42 | * BreakTheCutie: Her entire childhood has pretty much been one long list of people trying to do this to her. The fact that it hasn't succeeded says a lot about her character. |
| 43 | * CrazyPrepared: When she decides to go to Alaska to figure out what happened to her mother, she packs enough supplies and weaponry for a small army—and then has to be told that it’s not really necessary. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] by the fact that she grew up in a CrapsackWorld that was long, long AfterTheEnd, while being hunted by an AxCrazy ex-hero. Did we mention she was raised by one of the Marvel Universe’s consummate soldiers and survivors? |
| 44 | * TheCynic: Spending your childhood being chased being people who want to kill you horribly will leave you with a mess of issues. Being raised by Cable does not help. Despite this, she wants to do good... just in an incredibly ''angry'' way. In the Krakoan era, she becomes more idealistic and stable, but she's still got a decidedly cynical streak. |
| 45 | * DaddysGirl: Cable's not her biological father [[spoiler: (in fact, given that Jean created a StableTimeLoop to impregnate her mother via the Phoenix, he's actuallly her biological half-brother)]], but it makes exactly zero difference to her. |
| 46 | * DeadGirlJunior: She's named after her deceased adoptive mom. |
| 47 | * DisappearedDad: |
| 48 | ** Her biological father, whoever he is. Nothing is known about the guy, until ''X-Men Forever'' reveals that [[spoiler: it's actually Jean, via the Phoenix and a StableTimeLoop]]. |
| 49 | ** Cable, during a temporary period of being dead again. |
| 50 | * {{Expy}}: The editors and staff at Marvel played her up as one of these for Jean Grey from practically Day One, even putting the Phoenix effect around her in promos (though [[TrailersAlwaysLie nowhere in-story]]). The reception was... [[BrokenBase mixed.]] Said reception has improved after ''Avengers vs X-Men'', when she got the chance to develop as a character in her own right, and the resemblance to Jean Grey was mostly PlayedForLaughs when the two met. |
| 51 | * DontCallMeSir: A RunningGag in ''ComicBook/ImmortalXMen'' is Exodus referring to her as the Messiah and Hope telling him to cut it out. |
| 52 | * EtTuBrute: She is tremendously ''pissed'' when she learns what the Exodus of the ''Sins of Sinister'' timeline did to her. |
| 53 | * FaceHeelTurn: Went through a brief turn of this in ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen2018'' where she was depicted as the new leader of the [[Characters/XMenMutantLiberationFront Mutant Liberation Front]]. When Jonathan Hickman took over the title the reset button was pushed hard on this and now everybody acts like it never happened. |
| 54 | * FieryRedhead: As part of her resemblance to ComicBook/JeanGrey, and she's also extremely hot-tempered. As Jean says somewhat fondly, to [[spoiler: Louise]], "she's fierce and she swears a lot." |
| 55 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: Has some trouble adjusting to a time frame that ''isn't'' a BadFuture and CrapsackWorld. |
| 56 | * GirlishPigtails: Her hairstyle when she was a little girl. |
| 57 | * GoodIsNotNice: Well, what do you expect from someone raised by Cable? She becomes nicer as time goes by, but violence is still one of her go to solutions. |
| 58 | * HomosexualReproduction: The big surprise reveal of ''X-Men Forever'' is that her mysterious biological father is not a father at all, [[spoiler: despite Enigma's brief hijacking of the process]], but another mother - [[spoiler: in fact, her other mother is Jean Grey, operating on a StableTimeLoop and impregnating Louise via "the Phoenix and my love." Which, needless to say, tangles the family tree up even more.]] |
| 59 | * LaserGuidedTykeBomb: Sort of, and sort of subverted; Cable raises her and protects her for the explicit purpose of saving the mutant race, but he doesn't really know how she's going to do this so he can't teach her anything directly related to that task, instead opting to teach her how to survive. |
| 60 | * TheLeader: Besides leading Generation Hope, after the team dissolved and Krakoa was founded, she has become the de facto face and leader of The Five. |
| 61 | * LittleMissBadass: She's already well-trained, though she's still a teenage girl for most of her appearances. |
| 62 | * LittleMissSnarker: She is considerably very snarky and outspoken - then again, she is a teenager. |
| 63 | * LongLostRelative: For her maternal grandmother (Louise Spalding's mother). Hope doesn't tell Mrs. Spalding that she's her granddaughter when she visited her, however. |
| 64 | * MacguffinGirl: When she was born. The X-Men wanted to protect her because she was the first Mutant born since M-Day, the Purifiers wanted to kill her, the Acolytes wanted her to be their messiah, Sinister wanted her for experimentation, Mystique wanted her for her own purposes, and Bishop wanted to kill her for causing his BadFuture. Cable eventually had to tell Cyclops this was why he was taking her to the future; ''Everyone'' had an agenda for her, and there was no safe way to raise her with that going on. |
| 65 | * MeaningfulName: story-wise, she was named after another deceased Hope, who was Cable's wife for a time and acted as a mother-figure for the younger Hope. As an apparent messianic figure for mutants, she's aware of how painfully on the nose her name is. [[spoiler: Her biological mother - or rather, one of them - Louise remarks, when told by Jean, that it's appropriate, because having children is an act of hope]]. |
| 66 | * MessianicArchetype: Though not an AllLovingHero, personality-wise - being raised by [[AntiHero Cable]] doesn't do wonders for an idealistic mindset. Nevertheless, she's persistent enough at this that [[Characters/MarvelComicsXMan Nate Grey]], arguably the original Mutant Messiah expressed unflinching faith in her [[note]] Cable's destiny was messianic, but he didn't really ''act'' that way until his 'Savior Cable' phase, after Nate had gone full Messiah, and even that was part GenghisGambit [[/note]] . Even on his return and very intentional invocation of Jesus imagery, in his created world, the ComicBook/AgeOfXMan, ''she'' was the (admittedly posthumous) messiah, ''not'' him. |
| 67 | * MetaPower: She has the power to copy any mutant ability, even multiple sources simultaneously, can stabilize mutant PowerIncontinence by touch and amplify the abilities of nearby mutants. She's described as a "voodoo doll of the entire mutant race". Hickman's X-Men lists her power as "Omega Level Power Manipulation". |
| 68 | * MissingMom: Not just her biological mom, but also her adoptive mom, [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/285647347aff33a876d5fa88cdd84d66.jpg Hope Summers, Sr.]]. [[spoiler: Her other biological mom, Jean, was also missing for a long while]]. |
| 69 | * MostCommonSuperpower: [[DependingOnTheArtist Usually Subverted,]] by comic book standards at least. That said, she looks rather more well-developed than most girls in their teens would be, and more so as she gets older, where VagueAge starts to set in. |
| 70 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Is the only person on the Quiet Council to openly show any sign of being appalled at what they became in the Red Diamond timeline. Storm takes this as a positive sign. |
| 71 | * NaiveNewcomer: |
| 72 | ** After a childhood travelling through increasingly desolate futurescapes, she's ecstatic on arriving in in the consumerist paradise of the 21st century. |
| 73 | ** Happens again in ''Immortal X-Men'' when Exodus persuades her to take a seat on the Quiet Council. While Hope agrees to give the Five a voice on that group, being a politician is '''not''' something Cable trained her for, and before she even officially takes her seat she's unwittingly instigated a crisis. |
| 74 | * NotSoAboveItAll: During the events of ''King in Black'', she insisted she and the Five stay at their post rather than use their powers to help fight Knull (because otherwise the story would've been over much quicker). However, she was not averse to a little post-victory rave. |
| 75 | * OddFriendship: With [[Characters/MarvelComicsXMan Nate Grey]], despite the TangledFamilyTree aspects (he's the young alternate counterpart of her father, as well as being his half-brother, genetically speaking - and [[spoiler: actually ''her'' half-brother, genetically speaking, via Jean]]). She helps him adjust to going from a [[PsychicPowers psychic]] PhysicalGod to little more than spoon-bending, teaching him some of the things that Cable taught her to survive and fight without powers. In turn, he offers her a friendly ear and as an ex-Mutant Messiah in his own right, advice and the invaluable confidence booster of his support and faith in her. Notably, this endures into ''ComicBook/AgeOfXMan'' - in his constructed world, he's not the Mutant Messiah, she is (albeit posthumously). |
| 76 | * ThePhoenix: Hope has demonstrated a flaming energy aura like the Phoenix raptor several times, even as early as five months old. These manifestations could suggest she is a potential avatar for the Phoenix. After Cable's return from the future and being consumed by the techno-organic virus, Hope absorbed the virus and used the Phoenix flames to destroy the virus and cure Cable. Cable then told Cyclops that Hope was the Phoenix. Scarlet Witch also said that Hope is a part of Phoenix. Then Hope became the White Phoenix, undid the damage of the Dark Phoenix and showed what was special about her - she was able to let it go. |
| 77 | * PhysicalGod: At the top of her potential power-level, which varies based on which mutants are around her. As the Phoenix, she goes even higher. |
| 78 | * PlotRelevantAgeUp: Sort of. In terms of the present, she goes from a child to a young adult in a very short amount of time, thanks to time travel. However, the ''Cable'' series covered her travels in the future with Cable, showing her growing up. |
| 79 | * PowerCopying: One of her main abilities. |
| 80 | * RedHeadInGreen: Her main costume in X-Men is green-colored. |
| 81 | * SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: She has red hair and green eyes. |
| 82 | * SlutShaming: Sort of did this to ComicBook/EmmaFrost, [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/e41c693f5edfb4261a3f429b13c22ebc.jpg who didn't take it well]]. |
| 83 | * SpannerInTheWorks: |
| 84 | ** Sinister's plan for Krakoa had been secretly implanting every resurectee with a dash of his personality. He got confused and frustrated until he finally worked out Hope had been scuppering this without even ''knowing''. So he adjusted his plan so that killing Hope was Part 1 of the plan. |
| 85 | ** She's also the spanner for Enigma's plans, as he is very well aware, and he tries to hijack her. [[spoiler: Her mother, Louise, tells him where to get off after being briefly tempted]]. |
| 86 | * StableTimeLoop: It turns out that her conception is this - [[spoiler: Hope reignites the Phoenix in the Krakoan era, resurrecting Jean, who goes back in time and prevents Enigma's interference in Hope's conception, knocking up Hope's other mother via the Phoenix in the process]]. |
| 87 | * StopWorshippingMe: ''ComicBook/ImmortalXMen'' shows Hope is rather annoyed at the reverence the other mutants show her, especially Exodus. She takes Exodus' devotion in more stride by the second issue, though she still inwardly thinks he's nuts. |
| 88 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: Despite the uncanny resemblance with her adoptive (step-)grandmother ComicBook/JeanGrey, she actually takes her appearance from her [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/546ee1a20da7cdb451aa3269f5c44163.jpg biological mom]]. [[spoiler:Except she also takes it from Jean, her biological "father", who conceived her by giving Hope's mom part of the Phoenix.]] |
| 89 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: She looks like a teenaged Jean, wears the same colours as she had, and displays similar Phoenix-like powers. [[spoiler: Hilariously, ''X-Men Forever'' reveals that Jean is actually her biological 'father', who used the Phoenix to impregnate Louise Spalding]]. |
| 90 | * TangledFamilyTree: Even ''she'' lampshades the infamous Summers Family Tree while talking to [[ComicBook/XMan Nate Grey]]. And this was about 12 years before ''X-Men Forever'' revealed that [[spoiler: her biological 'father' is actually another mother, Jean, who is also her adoptive grandmother]]. It ''will'' make your head hurt. |
| 91 | -->''"[Scott]'s your father like he's my grandfather, which makes you my -- The family dynamic is too insane to even think about."'' |
| 92 | * UpbringingMakesTheHero: A Mutant with the power of every other Mutant, with a connection to the Phoenix? Cable took her to the future to make sure she was brought up ''properly''. The future where she wasn't? Bishop's timeline, where apparently Hope eventually turned evil and killed ''millions'' of people in a matter of minutes. |
| 93 | * UseYourHead: |
| 94 | ** Anaconda (Blanche Sitznski) of Serpent Society has to learn the hard way that [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/b659d4eef65daa86284d8af5b8a7c2ee.jpg Hope is]] [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/7065f609deb4a5d38cd9c99d88ad855e.jpg very hard-headed]], no pun intended. |
| 95 | ** Scarlet Witch suffers the same misfortune as well. |
| 96 | ** Crimson Commando also receives a headbutt from a tied-up Hope. |
| 97 | * WeHaveBecomeComplacent: Thinks this about herself early on in ''Immortal X-Men'', when Selene sets an undead kaiju on Krakoa. Hope chides herself for not having a gun on her person, thinking all the time on Krakoa's making her go soft. |
| 98 | * WhatTheHellHero: |
| 99 | ** She ''does not'' approve of the way Cyclops runs the team. |
| 100 | ** She also rips into Wanda Maximoff for M-Day. |
| 101 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Even though he has stopped trying to do so and it has otherwise been allowed to gently fade into memory, she is still terrified of Bishop, on account of him spending years hunting her through time to kill her. |

| 110 | |
| 111 | One of five new mutants who appeared after the return of Hope Summers. Idie was rescued by Hope and Storm from a militia but had difficulty adjusting to her new status as a mutant, viewing herself as an abomination in God's eyes. Despite this, she still worked with Hope's Five Lights team until being sent to join Wolverine's school, where she struck up an unlikely friendship with Quentin Quire and Broo. |
| 112 | ---- |
| 113 | * BoomerangBigot: Believed that mutants were monsters who were damned because they were different. However, she eventually grows out of that mindset. |
| 114 | * BurnTheWitch: The survivors of her village and a militia attempted to burn her under the belief that she was a witch when her powers manifested. She is somewhat disappointed that they didn't succeed. |
| 115 | -->'''Oya:''' I can't burn in this world. I'll burn in the next. |
| 116 | * CrisisOfFaith: After she grew out of her self-hatred, Oya's faith in God wavered due to how much hate was spread in his name. |
| 117 | -->'''Oya:''' I don't hate myself anymore. Not most days. But I don't know how much of you to keep. Can I hold on to the loving God who taught me how to be good and pretend the vengeful jerk doesn't exist? |
| 118 | * ElementalPowers: Possesses both [[PlayingWithFire pyrokinesis]] and [[AnIcePerson cryokinesis]]. Her powers work by altering the temperature, so she needs something cold to make fire and something hot to make ice. |
| 119 | * FireIceDuo: She showed Iceman that she can control both ice and fire. He tends to be a bit jealous of her abilities. |
| 120 | * TheFundamentalist: Due to her highly religious upbringing, especially when first introduced. Upon finding out that Kitty and Colossus are sleeping together without being married she declares her an immoral woman who should not be put in charge of children. Oya becomes less fundamental in her beliefs over time, but her beliefs are still quite central to her character. |
| 121 | * IAmAMonster: She says this a lot, having lived in a very conservative village in Africa before the X-Men found her. She was raised to believe that all mutants are abominations in the eyes of God. This is also why she can be lethally ruthless in battle. She figures she's a monster and damned already, so she can't make anything worse by acting the part. |
| 122 | * IDidWhatIHadToDo: Her reasoning to justify [[spoiler:killing several members of the Hellfire Club]]. |
| 123 | * KnightInSourArmor: She turns very jaded and considers herself as the "monster" due to her powers, but she is a good person who fights for what's right and learns to control her powers. |
| 124 | * TheMole: She joined the Hellfire Academy in order to find out who shot Broo in the head, which left him in a coma and feral for several months after he came out of it. |
| 125 | * OddFriendship: With Quentin, whose rebellious ways don't exactly mix well with Idie's religious nature. |
| 126 | * RageAgainstTheHeavens: Spends much of the fight against the Blob yelling at God. While also trying to protect Notre Dame from being accidentally destroyed during the fight. |

| 136 | Another of the five Lights, Primal's mutant ability gave him an animalistic mind that gave him hyper-instincts to mentally adapt to whatever situation he found himself hin. |
| 137 | ---- |
| 138 | * AdaptiveAbility: Has hyper-instincts that lead him to intuitively adapt and survive to current conditions. Left with a stocked fridge and he'll eat enough to survive and even remain in optimal physical condition. Put him on the stand to testify his case and he'll become eloquent enough to form a winning argument. |
| 139 | * LetsYouAndHimFight: He attacked Hope on-sight until he was tamed by her. |
| 140 | * LovableSexManiac: He is constantly trying to "mate" with any young female he sees. |
| 141 | * PrimalStance: He moves on all fours and has a hunched posture. |
| 142 | * PsychicBlockDefense: His animalistic mind provides natural psychic shields against telepathic invasion and mind-related attacks. |

| 171 | One of the five Lights, Laurie was a teenager in Vancouver preparing for college when her mutant powers manifested. |
| 172 | ---- |
| 173 | * AdaptiveAbility: Speculation inside and out has this as her real power rather then just being a TravelTransformation. |
| 174 | * {{Bookworm}}: She is highly studious and keeps a very scheduled study planner to keep up her education after becoming an X-Man. She gets along very well with Prodigy due to this, as they are two of the few teenage mutants who take their studies seriously. |
| 175 | * DemotedToExtra: After the Lights disbanded, Laurie has mostly become a background character in the X-Men books, although she was a supporting character in a few ''Young Avengers'' issues. |
| 176 | * DrivenToSuicide: Attempted to do this to end the pain her mutation was causing her. If Hope Summers hadn't arrived, she would've succeeded. |
| 177 | * {{Flight}}: Her mutant abilities allow her to fly at supersonic speeds with TravelTransformation helping her achieve it even faster. |
| 178 | * IOweYouMyLife: She felt this way towards Hope Summers after the girl's powers stabilized her mutations, allowing her to become a full-fledged mutant. |
| 179 | * PainfulTransformation: Her transformation into a mutant '''''HURT'''''. She started losing hair; her bones constantly shifted; and her skin turned blue, hard, and cold. She was in constant pain to the point of trying to kill herself to end it all. |
| 180 | * OrganicBra: She's essentially naked. With her mutant power covering her naughty bits. |
| 181 | * MsFanservice: She provides MostCommonSuperPower for the team. |
| 182 | * TravelTransformation: A major part of her power at one point she keeps up with the Blackbird get and morphs into something like a serpent with the profile of a stealth bomber. |
| 183 | * UndyingLoyalty: To Hope Summers, though this wavered somewhat during the events of the Schism storyline. |
| 184 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: The extent to which she can change her body is unclear, but she has been able to shift into a form that resembles are large flying fish. |
