Hope and the 5 Lights Appreciation
Members: Hope Summers, Oya, Zero, Velocidad, Transonic and Primal

Hope Summers came to the X-verse as the Mutant Messiah.

After grow-up and raised by Cable she became leader of the 5 lights and they even had an ongoing series, called Generation Hope.

This thread is to honer Hope and her 5 lights.

Zero/Kenji became a trator and has pased a way.

Velocidad was forgotten for a few years. But recently we saw him in Uncanny where he has been on the run for mutant hunters so much, that he became what he was afraid of: Old very soon and close to death within a very short time.

Hope Summers is now leading the MLF and became quite the little terrorist.

Oya did get quite some attention over the years, teaming up the the O5.

Transonic was a bit forgotten over the years, but has appeared again in the Disassembled final battle and was shown in GenNext recently as one of the secret rebellion, along with Match and Maggot.

Primal is probably the least interesting one of the squad. Barely got development in the Generation Hope series or afterwards. He did show up in the final disassembled battle as well. Is he the next red shirt?

I wonder what the future has in store for these young heroes. But I do love them.

I always thought that the Transonic design was inspired by the Mystique of the movies. Her transformation when she was at high speed was super cool.

[Ultimate Rogue]

In order of preference to me;

Transonic - Great visual to her flight mode, would love her to be able to be a cosmic reaching character, possibly branching out to Alpha Flight Space station or joining a space fairing team of x-characters or even the Shi'ar Imperial Guard.

Hope - I wasn't impressed when her powers were finally revealed but the Cable dynamic was cute and well written for the most part

Zero - Very anime inspired visual and a creepy character that made him unique

Oya and Primal - had interesting concepts to them in the beginning, Oya being god fearing and so a bit of a loose canon and Primal being theorized as having 'dumbed' himself down or figured that his way of being 'primal' was the most efficient way of being

Velocidad - His mutation hamstringed right from the beginning, his story was always an inevitable end


I wasn't massively keen on them when they were first announced, but they grew on me, they do feel kinda incomplete somehow, but I'd support Transonic in further adventures.

Oya made it into Heroclix



as has Hope

[Ultimate Rogue]

Oh and,

I link them with the Avengers Academy teens that I also grew to like, and so If a future Marvel writer would like to form a team by blending the two teams I'd be interested.

Should be a All New All Different Mutant Force.

[Tycon]

They are some cool kids who deserve some appreciation.
