Who is Hope Summers? - The Mutant Messiah 

3:40 One would also be forgiven for thinking she's Cable's (another Summers) biological daughter

Hope is also capable of augmenting a mutant’s ability a lot like Fabian Cortez and she can activate a mutant’s X-gene. Synch can recall powers of mutants and non-mutants that he has “synched” up with. He has also shown the ability to recall multiple powers as well.

Now Hope actually is Jean's daughter. They just established in the recent X-men forever comic that Jean + Phoenix impregnated Hope's mom

Synch can also crank up other people’s powers. He did it with Jubilee’s powers in his first appearance.

I actually really like Hope. One of my biggest/first real comic "projects" I undertook was reading from the start of the Mutant Messiah arc through the end of Utopia, then to Krakoa, covering most of the big X titles of the time, including the Cable run where he raises her. I liked her in Krakoa, too, but I am less pleased with her (and most stuff) post-Fall. I think Kieron Gillen knew how to write her best, but I am a fan.

Love these kind of videos. Also thanks for being a great inspiration.

Deadpool refers to himself as Marvel Jesus, not mutant Jesus.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS STYLE OF VIDEO NANDO!!!! The lore was full of depth but snappy and nicely contained and tho i havent played marvel snap in a while i liked to hear the theory craft of why her card design is the way it is based on comics

Loving this series tbh. Hope and Sunspot gonna be clutch in the game In Bishops timeline a child was Born with mutant abilities and this killed a million people in Six minutes. This was dubbed the Six minute War and was the reason bishop decides to try and get rid of hope as a baby, he believed that this was the child just born earlier. Hope is also a Mutant Amplifier for other mutants so they can use their powers at max.

Wow, I honestly thought I had a pretty good knowledge of X Men characters, but I had always assumed she was at least somehow related to Scott, but I've always believed that in the marvel universe if your name is Summers or Richards you're probably one of the most important characters, so I guess that's why? It's just very odd to have a mutant character share a surname with another big mutant character and not be related.

Mannnn u gotta start adding reading guides on how to read these characters and everything you explained at the end of these videos

From this video, no wonder they put Hope on resurrections duty. Maxed her stats, maxed her training, little to tie here to the present except "that's where she keeps her stuff" . I suppose they can grow here emotionally...But there seems little direction her her character can develop. I would use Hope as an example of how not to make a character.

THANK YOU FOR CONTINUING THIS SERIES

I've watched your videos about movies, but also happen to be a marvel snap player, so I'm really happy you're doing these! Keep up the good work!

15:17 since today, this video aged like fine wine

Deadpool said MARVEL Jesus, not Mutant Jesus.

I super respect this content. Also, pretty sure I spotted you in that second season of Miracle Workers...as the bard

Mmmmm probably a better read (and thanks for the recs), but from the sound of what you’ve said, Hope Summers is one of those “super OP pet character.” Which I expect from fanfiction but not from the big companions. This feels like too much too fast when all put together. First mutant birth after Decimation; everyone wants her, to be around her or to kill her; raised by the son of Jean and Cyclops; Her power is anything she wants within distance (and she master it instantly AND greatly amplify it); also she has the phoenix force; IS WORSHIPED AS A GOD. Like I thought Damien was too much back in the day but he’s grown on me.

Do Jean Grey

Super appreciate these videos! Keep up the good work

I wasn't super familiar with her character but she seems really cool! Thanks for the video, really been enjoying these. I love Marvel SNAP and Marvel but not always familiar with some of these characters.

You actuality have a really good point, Thanos is always called a great card, but he only gives you the stones. You don't see him played as much as you'd think based on the abilities of the stones.

I feel called out. I'm the guy who tries to make Scott and Jean work together: it's... Ok. Jean kind of fixes the issue of your opponent just avoiding playing other cards opposite your Cyclops (with High Evolutionary obviously) so you can force them to take those -1s, and cards like Sunspot, Nebula, and Misty Knight help build power in other lanes even while you're forced to keep adding to Jean's location (unfortunately you do have to dedicate a turn to playing a 3/3, which is not great). But when everyone expects you to play your Hulk into the last spot of Jean's location on the final turn you can fake them out by using Wasp and putting Hulk someplace else which is fun. Not the best way to play High Evolutionary, but a way most people won't be familiar with.

Please Please do these videos for all the Marvel snap cards PLease Please

I have a genuine question and I hope it doesn't come off as ignorant, but is Hope kind of a Mary Sue? I've been looking into her because I like her design and powerset, but it just seems like any summary I find of her plays up how amazing and incredible she is. Like she's the mutant messiah that brings all the mutants back, sure. She was trained by Cable in a war-torn future, sure. But everything about her just seems like "and she has the best powers and she's always good at everything and she has all the coolest guns and everyone likes her and and and". Like it's weird to hear someone describe three or four different entire characters that Hope just makes obsolete, like it's one thing that she can copy powers, that's cool, but the idea of "she can also ignore any mental limits or need to train, so when she copies a mutant's powers she's immediately *better* than them at it" just seems kinda bullshit. It feels like Rogue and Hope were two characters made for a freeform roleplay where Rogue was made early on when there were rules about how powerful your stuff could be, but then Hope is a character made a long time later who's just like "well those rules are old and stupid and get in the way of me making a powerful character". She also kinda has that modern "strong woman" vibe where it feels like her only character traits are "good at fight, good at shoot, takes no shit" and yet everyone in the franchise is like "we love her, she's so cool, I hope she'll shake my hand". Again, war-torn future, but that usually just feels like an excuse to sort of skimp on making an interesting woman character because you can just make her "a badass" and be done.

When you find a video early on link only lol

now we know that Hope is jeans daughter

Loving this series!

You should make these for older cards too like you want for Ebony Maw.

She pairs incredibly well with both Cyclops and Jean Grey lol

@thenandocut Apparently, and I could be wrong, Synch man replicate [Eventually keep] mutants and nonmutants' powers while Hope can only replicate mutants powers. Let me know if I'm wrong or right!

Soooo Hope Muad'dib Summers

I love this series.

Minor nitpick, not unlike your podcast, but I believe it’s supposed to be read as House of X and Powers of 10(Roman numeral X)

Hot hands lol!!

No love for Mimic. Power mimicry from all the way back in Xmen #19. His powers are kinda whatever the writer wants but first it was permanently the first 5, but in Exiles he could mimic up to 5 mutants once he spends about an hour in their proximity but better if longer. His version is lesser than the original but he instantly gets the user knowledge and avoids mental blocks.

I just recently read Second Coming and now reading generation hope. She is VERY good, I like her a lot. Please tell me her reunion with cable will be good once I get to the point where he comes back from the dead.

Why is she named Summers then ?!

I hate AvX with a passion I can hardly contain, but I do love Hope.

He says Marvel Jesus

Synch 100% can do your power better than you

She seems broken

House of X (ex) and Powers of X (ten)

You mean baby right

Deadpool says he’s marvel Jesus champ 😂 1:40. Not mutant Jesus

First Hope appearance in the MCU and get ready for all the "woke hope" "woke complex" "hope os woke" RU-vid videos. I love Marvel, but let me tell you the online fandom is toxic as Fu*$@

i don't like AvX. there's a lot of really good covers and spreads, but I was so disappointed by it lmao. I bought the big graphic novel and just hated it by the end. loved the phoenix 5 though. very hot and sexy of them. wish they let them wreck havoc for longer. (i love my problematic king Namor even if he did drown Wakanda lol)

Hasn't Krakoa been the place where various characters, including the island itself, have been cloning, combining and copying mutants through various devices for like 30 years now in the comics? I'd guess that'd be why playing a card copies its power to the next one. Don't quote me though. I've been reading fewer and fewer comics over time so this is all based off shoddy memories of what I've read. I do remember a book (not comic book) from years back though where Krak was draining mutants to create clones.

knock it off with the marvel snap

Sync's power is more like an "anything you can do,i can do better"where he knows how ti do things with people powers they dont know, but unlike Hope, he isnt limited to mutants. He's stnchrd with Spider-Man before & recently with Venom & Juggernaut.

You know, high school age- 13.

Very much appreciate these videos! Hope’s power is here to balance the game. Very much welcomed into the world of Marvel Snap! Thanks again!

I love these deep cut vids of urs ❤❤❤❤❤

I would love for them to do a Mutant Gods story with mutants who have been put on this pedestal, Nate Grey, Legion, Hope Summers, Storm, Exodus, Jean Grey, and so on. The main fight would probably be Nate vs Hope.

You mention that you'd like there to be an X-Men show where the characters are already established and then bring in Hope. I assume you probably meant that more in a live-action sense, but would you not count X-Men '97 as that since it's continuing from X-Men: the Animated Series so everything is already established and we see appearances from some other non-Mutant Marvel characters in that Universe like Spider-Man, Captain America, and Carol Danvers? we already know X-Men '97 is getting a Season 2, maybe there we'll get the Messiah Complex and HoXPoX stories and such. There's been nearly 30 years of Mutant stories that the series can tell since it's original ending in 1997, we can get a lot of those stories and characters in X-Men '97.

The thing is if I recall Hope couldn't take down Asgardian Empowered Juggernaut, they had to go to Cyttorak first and get him to strip Cain of the Juggernaut powers to stand a chance at beating him.

Change the Thanos card into the Infinity Gauntlet and make a new Thanos card. Maintains the stones being good.

Funny how in the comics the Scarlet Witch teaches Hope to use her powers, but in the video for the season pass they are fighting

Sure are some Synch haters here. Recently Synch pretty much evolved to Omega level

I read avengers X-men and was so confused that she wasn’t related to Scott and Jean 😭 Thank you for clearing that up

She’s like a cross of Rogue and Jean Grey but can fuse powers as well

The music was weird 😅

So this is the most Mary Sue of all time?
