[edit] Fictional character biography
Prior to M-Day, Hope Abbott was a former member of the Paragons squad. When the events of Decimation transpired, she was one of only 27 students to keep her powers. Greatly weakened by the losses, Emma Frost placed all of the remaining students into an all-out brawl to determine who would become the team of X-Men in-training. Hope did not make the team yet, like all of the other students who retained their powers, still resides as the Institute.
In response to M-Day, the government began gathering all information they had on the remaining mutants. Additionally, the Sentinel Squad O*N*E, a team of human-piloted Sentinels, was sent to "watch over" the X-Men and the handful of refugees symbolically know as The 198. According to said files, Hope was willing to work with other mutants in training sessions but had not yet received any combat experience.
Her interests include old films and classic music, and it appears she is rather culturally sophisticated.
Included from the Marvel Handbook: She has not shown any violent tendencies. However, she is loyal, and as such she will be expected to follow any mutant rebellions if led by Match or another Paragon, but will be reluctant to resort to violence. However, this is merely speculaton as she has not had enough exposure for her action in such a situation to be decided.
[edit] Powers and abilities
Hope has an astral projection power, the scope of which has not yet been fully displayed. Her codename suggests that she goes into some kind of altered state of consciousness or somehow otherwise nullifies her body in order to release her astral self. It is unusual in that whilst most astral projectors are harmless, Hope's power somehow causes energy damage, though the extent is not known.
[edit] Trivia
- In the 'New X-Men Academy X Yearbook Special', Hope was voted best-dressed by her classmates.
