Creation & Design

Hope Summers was created by writer Mike Carey and artist Chris Bachalo, first appearing in 'X-Men Vol. 2 #1' in 2007. She was designed to be a pivotal character in the X-Men universe, representing hope for the mutant race after the events of 'House of M'.

Early Years

Hope was raised in a secluded environment by Cable, who trained her to harness her powers. She was the first mutant born after the 'M-Day' event, where Scarlet Witch depowered most mutants.

Character Development

Hope Summers has evolved from a symbol of hope for mutants to a complex character grappling with her identity and the implications of her powers. Her relationships with other mutants, particularly Cable and the X-Men, have shaped her journey and growth.

Cultural Reception

Hope Summers has been received positively by fans and critics, often praised for her role in revitalizing the X-Men narrative post-M-Day.
