Hope was the first mutant to be born after the event know as M-day. Her birth did not go unnoticed; at the precise time of her birth Cerebro exploded and not long after that the time traveling Sentinel, Nimrod informed the Purifiers that she would usher in a new dawn for mutant kind in the future. The Purifiers sought to kill her to prevent this future from happening, by eliminating all the children of the town. The time-traveling X-Man, Cable was able to rescue her from the horrible fate of death and he identified her as the baby “Mutant Messiah” that would be responsible for saving both mutant and humankind. However, Bishop feared that she would be dangerous to the future, and would be responsible for creating the murderous time-line that he once called home.
