    If you read Generation Hope she is pretty much nothing but an arrogant brat. If you read AVX she is nothing but a whiny Deus Ex Machina. Honestly the best thing the can do is just kill her off as soon as possible. It is weird but it seems the jean greys (Read Head and powerful for no reason) of marvel are just crazy, annoying, or just useless

    The biggest issue with Hope was the by her very nature she was a plot device before she was her own character....and now that she has completed her primary plot role (restarting mutant race) what do you do with her? What do you do with a messiah character after her big prophesy is completed?

    Her character has potential, there is the mystery of WHAT exactly she is. There is an obvious connection to the PF, and therefore likely a connection with Jean. Explore that. Explore her ability to influence the X-gene itself. There is now a growing population of mutants who owe their powers to her...some might hate her for making them a member of that "hated and feared race", others might praise her for the gifts they now have, how does she respond to both sides. The character isn't a waste and doesn't have to remain a plot device unless the writers let her

    loved her early characterization when she was written by Swierczynski, every other writer had no idea how to handle her and completely wasted her potential, (shameless plug but..) check out the blog entry I wrote on my page defending her. IMO she could of been one of the greats had they not messed up her arc after Second Coming. She was the ultimate mystery and then..she was shelved and given no proper dues
