(I got some new markers a few days ago and I had to break them in). 

I wouldn’t wake Hope up if I were you…

Here is my take on little Hope and what she would look like in the 90’s X-Men Animated Series both as a one year old and as a newborn baby.

Ain’t she cute?

_______________________________________

For her backstory, I changed a few things, instead of her being born in the future, she was born a year before the events of “X-Men: TAS”.

Wolverine was sent out to stop a gang from terrorizing a hospital. By the time he got there, many people died and Hope’s mother, Louise, was dying from a gun attack and going into labor.

The doctor and several nurses were wounded and if Louise didn’t have the baby soon, it would surly die in the womb. So, Logan, had to deliver the baby with the aid of one of the nurses.

Fortunately, Louise’s baby had been born alive and kicking. However, before Louise would pass away, her final words would be giving her child a name; Hope.

After Louise’s death, Wolverine took it upon himself to take the baby back to the mansion because he could sense something else inside her.

Once several tests had been completed by Beast, it was confirmed that Hope was indeed a mutant and with no other family left to go to, Professor X decided to let Hope stay with them and the X-Men raise her as their own, and, out of all the X-Men, Wolverine took on this order very seriously.

Here are a few things about this version of Hope:

-Her last name is “Spalding” instead of “Summers”.

-Logan helped give birth to her as her mother, Louise Spalding, was dying from a gang attack.

-She carries around a teddy bear that’s two sizes too big for her.

-She has a thumb sucking problem.

-Her hair is auburn instead of red like in the comics.

-Often calls Logan “dada”.

-Logan takes the roll of protective father VERY seriously.

-She knows how to say a few words like “hi”, “up”, “down”, etc.
