In Episode 113 of CEREBRO, Connor and returning guest Kieron Gillen meet their maker with the mutant messiah, Hope Summers! Created as an infant by Mike Carey and Chris Bachalo, then developed extensively by writer Duane Swierczynski, baby Hope was the first mutant somehow born after the Decimation eradicated the future potential of the x-gene, and her prophesied birth made her a target from her first breaths. Quickly orphaned in a massacre and spirited away to the future by her adoptive father Cable, Hope had a number of false starts on her long messianic journey, but finally achieved her cosmic purpose on Krakoa. This is also the afterparty for Kieron's remarkable second tenure on X-Men, and a salute to the First Krakoan Age. Kieron's new creator-owned book The Power Fantasy is coming soon from Image Comics, and the final order cutoff date for issue #1 is today, July 15th! Call your local comic shop and ask for it by name. The CEREBRO character file on Hope begins at 43:19. (Content Advisory: Hope's story includes genocide, suicide, and the mass murder of infants. You know. Messiah stuff.) You can support CEREBRO on Patreon! Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
