I've been out of touch lately, but can you guys give me an idea of how powerful Hope Summers is?

She can mimic the powers of any mutant and in AvX she just mimicked the powers of the K'un Lun dragon that gave Iron Fist his powers.
So when around other mutants she has potential to be the most powerful. When not she has the training of a soldier by Cable, Cyke, and some Avengers.
Doesn't strike me as that intimidating and at times she seems to just be a plot device character. I await a writer to make more of a threat instead of *** pulls and being used as a plot device. Maybe Hopeless does that.

Found a Uber of Sweet tooth so I'm gonna check it out this week. I was a pretty big Y fan so I'm hoping that this vertigo series can deliver. Also checking out Superior tonight. I got caught up on Hit-girl while I was at work, really excited for issue 5

It is but the way her powers are shown isn't the same as his. There's also a question of proximity. Her power could be like the Isolationists who chills in Antartica/Alaska and still has access to every mutant's power on the planet.
But yeah mimic abilities are usually the same in some form for the most part.

Amazing artist + Great writer
I have no idea what this book will be though, other than a relaunch of X-Men but content wise? Nada.

DC's JUSTICE LEAGUE April 2013 Solicits
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Reign_(comics) - Norman Osborn kills Queen of Skrulls during their invasion becomes the world's top cop and basically the villains under him run **** and hunt the heroes
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avengers:_The_Initiative - X-Men don't have much to do with the Initiative, at the time they were under martial law by the gov, then that fell apart cuz of bad mutants and Apocalypse so they became their own sort of quasi police state/commonwealth after moving to SanFran doing their thing til Hope was born. The Intiative stuff is just the hero program for the country and their adventures throughout Civil War, Dark Reign, and it's end during Siege.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man:_One_More_Day - Aunt May gets shot and is dying cuz of Spider-Man's enemies, nobody can help, Peter Parker and MJ sell their marriage/true love to Mephisto so May can live and everyone forgets who he really is (Mephisto also can never approach Peter again).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man:_Brand_New_Day - Changes, revelations after the huge change/retcon of OMD
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_War_(comics)#Finale - Cap taken to court, shot on courthouse steps, seemingly dead
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallen_Son:_The_Death_of_Captain_America - Heroes react to his death. 5 stages of grief.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_of_Captain_America - what really happened with Cap's assassination and his return. Red Skull basically tried to take over his body but failed and died. His daughter takes over his mantle.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Men:_Messiah_Complex - Hunt for baby Hope by X-Men, Sinister, and others. Bishop believes he has to kill her to prevent his horrible future cuz in it allegedly Hope kills a bunch of ppl with the phoenix force, he fails at killing her, ends up shooting Prof. X in the head (gets amnesia), Cable takes Hope in to the future until she's ready, Bishop follows. Bishop is seen as the traitor he traveled in time to stop from betraying the X-Men and killing Prof. X
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_(comics)#Cable_and_Deadpool.2C_Cable_.28vol._2.29 - Cable traveling in multiple futures with baby Hope, raising her as Bishop tries to kill them, Bishop kills billions of ppl by devastating the Earth to accomplish his goal.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messiah_War - Cyke gets impatient and sends X-Force to get Cable and Hope. At this point Cable's time traveling device is broken and all he can do is travel forward in the future. Big fight with Bishop, Apocalypse, Stryfe, and X-Force. In end X-Force fails goes back home and Bishop continues his pursuit but Stryfe dies.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Men:_Second_Coming - At this point Cable beats Bishop with help, takes Bishop's time travel device and leaves him thousands of years in a desolate future that he created, Hope is grown up and they return to the present to fight with the X-Men against Bastion from the future using alien tech who has resurrected old dead X-men enemies like Master Mold, mostly humans though, and restarts the nimrod/sentinel program. Ppl die, Hope uses her mimic powers to beat Bastion. One notable death is Nightcrawler sacrificing himself to save Hope. Cable seemingly dies when he lets the techno-organic virus take over his body so he can sacrifice himself to keep the time portal open so X-Force can go back to the present
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avengers_vs._X-Men#Avengers:_X-Sanction - Cable is alive, traveled to some other post apocalyptic future where the X-Men and Avengers went to war over Hope. Still dying from the TO virus he takes on his last mission to kill the Avengers or some of them and/or warn the X-Men. He fails at the first part and ends up being cured by Hope but ends up in a coma.
Bishop will be returning in Uncanny X-Force as a villain. Also been hinted there'll be a crossover with Uncanny X-Force and Cable & X-Force cuz of the connection of the 3.

Nah she pretended to be on his side and betray Cyke. They were both lying to each other for a while but then it all became apart of a plan to get Utopia established as their own unofficial mutant nation/state and make Osborn look like a fool to the public which would be the first huge blow that led to his downfall. Only other thing you need to know is Osborn had Wolverine's son Daken working for him and there was a Dark X-Men team for a short while.
It's like 4-5 years removed so I don't think it's all that important to what's going on now or a whole lot then. The main thing for the X-Men then was X-Force, waiting for Hope/her coming back, and getting Utopia running smoothly as they faced various enemies in between.

She was ghost for the past decade, sorta shunned but then brought in when she wasn't insane anymore. Some X-Men hated her/wanted her dead. Vision been "dead" just as long (nobody bothered to rebuild him) until Stark brought him back and nobody has done much with him now so far.

Happened during an X-Men trying to make bank off the vampire craze a few years back. She was lucky and at least brought something new to her character since nobody was using her before and her mutant powers were gone after m-day and they were pretty tame anyway.Mohawk Storm
