''Generation Hope'' was a series spun off from ''ComicBook/XMen'' that run from January 2011 to May 2012 with 17 issues. It finished as ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen'' began.

It was based around Hope Summers, the adopted daughter of ComicBook/{{Cable}} and reputed "Mutant Messiah". Upon her return to the present after being raised in the future, a group of mutants manifested. As Hope met and touched each mutant their powers stabilized and Hope gained a low level of telepathic influence over them. The story of the series itself dealt with Hope making the "Lights" into a team to stabilize each new mutant manifestation, taking a LighterAndSofter approach than previous ''X-Men'' teen series while also dealing with the insidious effect of Hope's influence.

The team consisted of Hope, Velocidad, Oya, Transonic, Primal, and Zero, with Oya leaving post-Schism, being replaced by Pixie and No-Girl.

Not to be confused with [[https://www.youtube.com/@GenerationHope a certain Dhar Mann knockoff]]

!!''Generation Hope'' provides examples of the following tropes:

%% * ActionGirl: Hope; Pixie
%% * BreakTheCutie: The Schism tie in for Idie.
%% * DistaffCounterpart: Hope to ComicBook/{{Cable}}.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Hope was a badass long before her powers manifested. With only the power to borrow other mutant powers (and sometimes manifesting the Phoenix Force).
%% * {{Expy}}: The four newly activated mutants were deliberately modeled after four of the original five X-Men.
%% * FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Kenji]]
* GeniusBruiser: Primal was a software programmer before his mutation activated, which gave him feral instincts. He's still capable of being quite intelligent but it's entirely dependent on whether his instincts deem it worthwhile, such as arguing a legal case.
* LovecraftianSuperpower: Kenji's powers are basically a VoluntaryShapeshifting version of Tetsuo's SuperpowerMeltdown.
* MultinationalTeam: Hope is Alaskan but raised in a variety of futures, Velocidad is Mexican, Kenji is Japanese, Transonic is Canadian, Teon is Ukrainian and Idie is Nigerian. Pixie who joins later is Welsh.
%% * TeenGenius: Transonic.
* TauntingTheTransformed: British mutant Zeeshan's power liquefies his face and flesh when it first manifests. One of his friends immediately uploads a video of "Sheffield Liquid-Face Boy!", joking that his photo will end up up the "[[FictionalDocument Portraits of Freaks: 500 Mutants You Must See Before They Die]]" book, which Zee had seen before realising he was a mutant himself. [[spoiler:Zee is DrivenToSuicide, believing his life is ruined. It's suggested that his liquefied state might have been a temporary situation until he learned to control his new powers]].
%% * TokenEvilTeammate: [[spoiler: Kenji]]
%% * PsychicPowers: Both Hope and Kenji... kinda. Hope's isn't intentional, and Kenji's needs contact.
