Spoilers may ensue

Out of boredom I was flipping through some CV pages and ended on Kieron Gillen's. I clicked his work blog and began scrolling through his posts. That is when I found this:

GENERATION HOPE #9
Written by KIERON GILLEN
Penciled by JAMIE MCKELVIE
Cover by SALVADOR ESPIN
“OUT, OUT…”
This is the X-Men comic that will have people talking for years! Some candles burn twice as bright and half as long. Some candles don’t get a chance to burn at all. Generation Hope discover what happens when a light goes out.
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$2.99

Is it possible that they could be killing a Light already!?!

Could this really just be to hype up the book or would this be a permanent death (as permanent a comic death is)? Would this develop the team and make them realize that they are playing in the big time? Will Hope fall apart from the death or will the team stop listening to her as completely as they were? 

Who Could Die?

Hope: Very unlikely because she is needed to help all mutants, if she was dying, it would be a huge event. So not going to happen.

Laurie: It is possible. Her powers had a nice twist but she may be expendable.

Gabriel: As I have seen from some users, he isn't as popular as some other characters. Plus he may give his life to save Hope considering he seems to have a crush on her. Plus with a name like Velocidad, it is only a matter of time before he gets picked off.

Idie: She probably provides the most interesting story line of all the characters, hating being a mutant and feeling like a monster. I really don't see them killing of the 14 (12) year old just yet.

Teon: The issue before is proclaimed to be the "Trial of Primal" (don't add the alias), could he be taken into custody and killed while trying to escape? I know at least one user that would scream as loud as she could about this.

Kenji: The outsider of the group. His powers are probably the most useful of the group and his death may be the easiest for the team to handle.

Six Light Baby: If you did not know yet there is a sixth light, a unnamed unborn baby. Could the baby die before it is born? This would probably be the big coup out of the options, but make the most sense of all the lights. Especially given what the issue is said to be about.

So what do you think? Honestly it seems like they would kill the new baby to make the first mission a failure and make the team more serious.

I think Six Light Baby is the best choice.

" I think Six Light Baby is the best choice. "

" @John Valentine: they killed baby Apocalypse. "

I think Teon will be killed, just because of the cover #8, but I don't like my own theory, hope the light that would be killed is a future villian light.

You know what would be funny, if Teon died accidentally while fighting Wolverine.

I think Gabriel's TIME will RUN OUT! :D

This. That or the dog guy. I hope the dog guy, I just want to shoot however thought that it would be a good idea to incorporate such a ridiculous character. Sigh

No offense to anyone who likes the character...

If it's Kenji that's stupid. He finally calmed down and if they kill him off before any character development,  I'm done with this series.

Teon kills the pregnant woman.
Teon is put on trial and is put to sleep.
Calling it.

The cover for Generation Hope 10 creates a new theory for what happens in Issue 9.

SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content.

Could we see Idie be held responsible for what happened when her powers activated? If I am not mistaken her powers did kill several people, she could be brought to trial. Being arrested could be the Light that is put out, taken from the team might be the equivalent to character death.This may mean that a character does not officially die, but Idie leaves the team and the Five Lights become a five person team.

Brought to trial when she's underage..?

@fesak: I think seven and up can be trialed as an adult. A 14 year old is not that big of a stretch.

Really? Here you have to be over 15.

If I remember correctly, New York is pretty young.

According to wikipedia as young as six can be tried as an adult in some cases.

That's just wrong. But back to the point: Why would Idie be trialed in the US for accidentally killing people in Nigeria?

IF they kill Idie im going to kill THEM!

IF they kill Idie im going to kill THEM!

It wasn't any of them.

We learned one thing, a light goes out and they all know. I think Hope felt but shared the experience with the others.
