    That's also Greg Land tracing Miley Cyrus, or some porn star, so it's probably not the best indicator of age. 
     
    Pretty sure he's used that face for Emma and Psylocke too...

    I prefer to go off of the Choi / Oback work. It's much better, and it actually makes her look in the 13-16 range.

    She is 17 years old. The reason she has aged so much since Messiah war is explained in Cable.

    That's because she was being drawn by artists who care & not just someone who traces porn mags.  It's such a shame that Choi & Oback aren't the artists on the whole cross-over... but I suspect that might be a year's worth of work for them.

    New to the site here and I wasn't sure how to start  my own thread so apologies up front.  My post regards Hope Summers.  So here it is.  Since her power set is still ambiguous, though she has demonstrated hings of telekinesis and telepathy, one thing that strikes me as odd is that there hasn't been much mention of curing Rogue of Strain 88.  There has been mention of Hope possibly being connected to the Phoenix Force.  If that's the case, the Phoenix has been said to burn away that which does not work.  As in the case of John Sublime.  Burned him away in the future time line of "Here Comes Tomorrow".  He was attempting to make evolution come to a complete standstill, if I'm not mistaken.  I know I'm probably over simplifying here but you get the picture.  I think, it's a possibility that when baby Hope touched Rogue and cured her of Strain 88, she was burning away what didn't work.  Her touching Rogue, aside from curing her of the virus, could explain Rogue being able to sense Hope's thoughts.  She may have inadvertently created a psychic rapport with Rogue as well as curing her.  As a side bar, when Cable was a baby, there were times during the original X-Factor that baby Nathan (Cable) demonstrated telekinesis.  Would it be too far fetched to think that maybe Hope was demonstrating part of her mutant powers at such as young age, just as Nathan Summer did when he was younger?  Again this is just speculation but I wanted to throw it out there and see what people who know the comics like I do think about this.  Thanks people, let me know what you think about this.

    someone told me she could copy powers or something like that. Is it true? (they said her eyes glowed when around bishop and cyclops and she showed telekinesis/telepathy when around cable)

    you really can't go on age with Greg Land as the artist 
    sure, I think the movie still he traced in that pic looks a little too old 
    but more than that- IT LOOKS TRACED.

    I think Hope is suppose to be in the 15-18 range. The various artists have depicted her differently depending on their styles. Some artists are better at taking age into account than others.
