Nah, Rosenberg loved the X-Men as a teenager. The problem is that we had to read the grimdark fanfic that he wrote when he was a teenager. He just had to add the concept of "Teen Girl Punisher" with Hope.
Speaking of Hope, she's not going to pay any consequences for murdering a senator in cold blood, right?

hope summers has lower moral integrity than THE PUNISHER

Hope Summers really needs to be removed from the X-Office and put on the Avengers or Champions. The X-Office isn't doing anything good to her.
Hope has a combination of being too cynical and psychotic to play with the Young Avengers or the Champions and too young for edgys teams like Savage Avengers or Strikeforce.
She does not fit anywhere. Either they soften her, or they age her with time travel or she will inevitably be a villain.
If we did that, we wouldn't have much of an X-Office. It would just be like three guys getting drunk.
I suppose we can just give Hope over to the Fantastic Four since a psycho wildcard is exactly what that book needs since nothing happens in it.

I've said it before, Rosenberg writes Hope as "female/teenager Frank Castle". I can almost believe he either mixes up a bit of the scripts or just wants to write Frank so badly, that doing so in his book isn't enough, and he has to change other characters to become like him.
