Powers

Hope was a mutant that to possess great powers, although they had yet to be shown. At this point, Hope's powers have not been explained. The only notable thing is that when she was born, she unleashed a massive psionic pulse that destroyed Cerebro. She also proved to be immune to Rogue's newly lethal absorption power and her touch erased all of the previous memories and abilities Rogue had absorbed, including those of the Hecatomb. She also cured Rogue of the Strain 88 virus. During Messiah Complex when the Three-in-One tried to search for her when she was kidnapped by the Marauders, she was able to block and disrupt Cerebro from finding her.

Abilities

While she's a child, she's already an excellent hand-to-hand combatant by copying Cable's movements. Despite not exhibiting further powers, not even the ones displayed while an infant, Hope has become a keen observer and survivalist, able to find shelter and supplies.
