The title says it all doesnt it?  Somewhere along the line the fiesty mutant messiah turned into a snotty stuck up little brat!  I dont care what future you were raised in and who did the raising...YOU'RE ON OUR TURF NOW GIRL! First and foremost lets ignore the fact that Cyclops is basically her grandfather and the only real family she has (besides that grandmother of hers that we never hear of), he is also the leader of the free mutant world at this point, in a world where there arent that many mutants left...and she throws a tantrum and threatens to leave with the 5 Lights?  Why not just take her ball and go home? Or hold your breath till you're blue in the face? For someone was raised in several different war-like times, she has a pretty shoddy grip on the current mutant situation if she thinks that just up and bouncing with the new mutants is an appropriate response for her to have if Cyclops won't just let her do what she wants and whenever she wants to.  Oh yeah and about that...Why should she gets to do whatever she wants when even Storm respects the chain of command with Cyclops at the top???  Temperamental and feisty is one thing but this stuck up little brat would have Cable rolling over in his grave if he saw how she was treating and disrespecting Scott.  Of course all this is coming off of my massive disappointment at the end of Second Coming and her failure to be any sort of mutant messiah...the whole Hope Summers scenario has been a big bust in my opinion...so disappointing...

A teenager being difficult wow that never happens in the real world at all

" A teenager being difficult wow that never happens in the real world at all "

You also forgot that Hope Summers is DC's Damien Wayne. Potentially interesting young characters throw in the love em or hate em split due to their douchebaggery.   
 
Another example of what happen to kids with powers not getting spanked by a thick leather belt when they were younger to get put in their place.  

@Gold Dust Boi:
Agreed, and I can't wait until they day when someone decides to bitch slap her back into place. I would love to see how Emma would react if the brat tried that shit with her... :)

Let's not forget how scared Emma was when she saw the shadow of Phoenix (in the scene in Second Coming when Hope activated Five Lights). If Hope uses her full power, Scott will need to look for a new telepath.
 Look at Hope after the Second Coming. Half of X-Men blame her for the death of their friends (totally uncalled for; it's not like Bastion, Master Mold and the others never tried to destroy all the mutants before). Half of them are scared after her display of powers, expecting new Dark Pnoenix or something like this. And the others expect Hope to click her fingers and solve all their problems. And on top of all, she has to take care of five new mutants.
I feel incredibly sorry for Hope. In many ways she is like John Connor, and we all remember that John wasn't a poster boy.

@Kairan1979:
I agree with you

she has a huge weight on her shoulders

I'm just looking forward to seeing how her character involves

It's called having a personality. Sometimes characters get one.

She's ungrateful and annoying. But you know, 90% of the X-Men are ungrateful and annoying now. So it's relative.

Just got down with Generation Hope issue 3. The more I read of her, the less I like her, which sucks, because there was a point in time where she was one of my top five favorite characters.

Okay. Just read Uncanny X-Men #539, starring Hope. I absolutely loved it.

i refuse to buy generation hope  and i hate  the character anyone  that causes  both  nightcrawler and cable to die will have my infinite scorn.

She may have learned military skills, but she's NEVER had to deal with a chain of command. It was always her and Nathan.

Eurgh she's just as annoying as her fanboys (Yes that's right......she has some already!) And whats also annoying is that people always put her in the summers family category. "oh she's a summers kid, there always powersful!" She was kidnapped as a baby! She is in not blood relation at all to the summers family, only person she had any ties to was cable and now he's dead! Rant over hahahaha

@fodigg: Exactly!  She can be as powerful as she wants and have all the military knowledge that exists, if she doesnt follow any orders and doesn't respect the chain of command then shes no better then one else on that island.

@EmmaGrace: i just read on hope's page that emma and hope did have a spat because hope walked out of Emma's class and was criticizing how the mutant girls dressed and that cable would have hated emma and stormed out and emma threatened her and hope threatened her back saying she would burn emma to cinder

she is a brat because she was yelling at Prof. X saying that the institute was the wrong thing to do because it separated the mutants from the human population she almost made it sound like he locked the mutants in the school instead of take them in and protect them

Yeah but that's the whole point! She's been dropped into a situation where there is this rigid chain of command with General Cyclops in charge, a man she holds partly responsible for Cables death. Reckon it would be kind of difficult to immediately step in line  and respect the chain of command when she doesn't respect the leader. She's a fish out of water with the headstrong character of Cable and no immediate continual threat to fight anymore (Bishop). Also, lets be honest, it would be kinda boring if she immediately 'got' everything, followed orders and was all happy and content.   Hopes basically a regular moody teen that has to contend with people seeing her as a messiah/hating her/avoiding her which would explain why emotions run high when anyone messes with the five lights, not just her team but pretty much her only friends. Add to that her step-mom being killed, chased for the first 17 years of her life through an apocalyptic future by Bishop, returning to the present to find that an insane sentinel wants to kill you, seeing your step-dad killed, being stuck on utopia, etc, then you're lucky that she's only a teen that goes through immature bitchy  spells instead of an insane/psychopathic/post-traumatic wreck.  Kitty did call Prof X a jerk!  What a bitch!  :P

Hope is my least favorite x-man. I have not hated a teenage character this much since jason todd as robin.

@x_29:

Okay, good for you.

I would like to see her get some more character development, as she has really not been around very long. What I really do not want to happen would be for her to be made into an Avenger. I hope she continues to forge ties with mutants and the X-Men. I would also like foe there to be more interaction between her and Cable a it seems he is slated to wake soon.

@gold_dust_boi: Sorry for the bump, I've been catching up on new mutants and I quite liked hope during and pre-second coming but she absolutely crossed the line when she punched dani(dani monster), I like hope a lot but she just had to cross that line. Again SORRY FOR THE BUMP

As much as I love Second Coming, that scene did feel a little forced. almost as if they just wanted to have a random fight scene and that setup was the first idea that came to mind. that said though, Hope did redeem a couple points for me when during that fight I'm pretty sure she bit her.

I'm not mistaken right? that's what this panel was supposed to convey isn't it? I mean, that's just beautiful right there, hilarious and awesome. after that I couldn't care less what the fight was about, just so long as we get this. that's the kinda Hope I know and love, the kind that I personally want to see more of in X-Men books.....but I suppose vampire Jubilee babysitting Eye-boy works too.....I really hate modern X-books.

@thunderwolf86: gosh the stepford sisters grew up, I literally read uncanny x-men(2013) a week before I started reading generation x I was baffled when I saw them all grown up, I mean cannonball has a baby, Bobby runs AIM god knows what happened to magik, that said I still think it's kinda sad to see our generation of mutants grow up and lead a completely unimaginable path.
