Previous Post The whole idea was for Hope as the mutant messiah becoming the Phoenix, to restart the mutant gene, not for himself or any other mutant to be able to do that. So I guess taking over the world is probably a unplanned back up plan.

Which is my point. It's been ten days and instead of trying to find a way to get the Phoenix into Hope or a way for all five to do it themselves, he uses it to conquer the world. World peace isn't going to bring the mutant gene back.
