A visit at the museum of Mutant History

[salinea]

Since we've had all those spirited discussions about Hope's criticism of Xavier's school; and then contrasted with Dani's criticism of both Logan and Scott's position after Schism; I thought it'd be interesting to post some other scans from Generation Hope; right at the start of Schism, which explores the History of mutants, as a counterpoint:

It starts with Idie being surprised by the idea that stopping Sentinels is the thing to do; since she views herself as a mutants as a monster. Laurie tries to explain that Sentinels aren't really for protecting humans from evil mutants.





I hadn't noticed at the time, but in retrospect with all this discussion - oh, Hope, honey. You really should be more interested in the past.

Laurie and Idie go to the museum, and they find Kenji already here (he came early to see the old Sentinel's design, cuz it's a classic. (Kenji cracks me up, have I mentioned that before? :))



While Laurie and Kenji continue their discussion, Idie wanders in the museum and finds Prodigy in front of a portrait of Stryker, saying: "I know that people like him have to be here. It's part of the story. Doesn't mean I like it much."



And he ends with "but you know the sickest thing of all? It could be worse."





And then the attack against the X-Men at the museum happens and Idie is alone to be able to stop it.


But Hope knew all about that, right?

Well, they have at least four members FROM them; Rachel, Cable, Bishop, X-Man and Widget (sort of), and those are just the ones I can think of offhand.

Dark Beast is still around as well. AU villains deserve some love.

Oh, if we include them we also have Nimrod (and by extension Bastion), Sugar Man and Holocaust.
