was an impostor a shape-shifter maybe
better take you both out just to be sure
some people try to see into the future
this guy actually comes from it welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we will
explore the comic book origins of the
x-man known as Bishop this is Bishop
he’s with me as with most comic book
characters they’re often reimagining xan
different versions to a character’s past
we’ve chosen to primarily follow the
storyline which unfolded in 1996 and
1997 s saviors security enforcers
numbers 1 to 4 which was expanded upon
in 2009 s x-men the life and times of
Lucas Bishop numbers 1 2 3 the
time-traveling Lucas Bishop has a pretty
cool power the ability to absorb most
forms of energy used against him and
then put it to his own uses
but as impressive as his power is its
his commanding presence that makes him
so memorable bishop first turned off as
a seeming adversary for the x-men in
1991 oh man
the x-men are the assassins and I’ve
come back to stop him he had come from a
dystopian future and was seeking a
time-traveling criminal by the name of
Fitzroy who had escaped to our
present-day Fitzroy don’t shoot sir
Ector forget it
Bishop’s origin was very bare-bones for
a few years afterwards but in 1996 a
series offering a comprehensive look at
his past began bishop and his sister
shard came from a place known to
audiences as the Days of Future past
reality a grim future where mutants and
humans fight each other in a race war
that nearly ended the world as we know
it an opening sir
after the war mutants are now confined
to relocation camps Bishop was raised by
his grandmother who taught him to
emulate the now dead and legendary x-men
who believed in the possibility of human
and mutant coexistence
after his grandfather’s death bishop and
his sister chard were trained to become
members of a group called xavier
security enforcers or XS II I’m here to
find Xavier this group sought to
continue professor xavier z’ dream of
building a world where mutants and
humans lived peacefully together bishop
distinguished himself in combat and was
made a full xse officer the youngest
ever picked some years later bishop and
chard were lured into a trap by mind
controlling villains known as M plates
who turned shard against her brother
distraught Bishop subdued his sister and
made a deal to save her there was no way
to restore her to normal but he was able
to arrange for a holographic duplicate
of her to be created which would contain
her mind and memories to make this
happen
Bishop had to agree to work for a
stranger named witness this mutant would
eventually be revealed to be gambit the
last living member of the x-men
connecting Bishop forever with the x-men
of present day some time later the
renegade mutant Fitzroy re-emerged and
Bishop and his xse colleagues chased him
back to the x-men’s time because
Fitzroy’s portals were a one-way trip
Bishop was stuck here and eventually
became a member of the legendary x-men
in peace
Bishop’s origin was revised somewhat
into 2009 miniseries although most of
the basic facts remained the same there
were more details about some areas of
his life
for example readers learned of bishops
deep connection to his father and how as
a child he believed his entire family
was killed escaping the mutant ghetto he
met the witness with whom he crossed the
country pulling petty crimes to get food
and energy eventually Bishop and witness
came to Las Vegas where the boy
discovered his grandmother and sister
still alive many readers have theorized
that bishops grandmother is actually
storm of the x-men while this has been
subtly hinted at it has not been
definitely stated so the debate goes on
due to his time traveling nature
Lucas bishops backstory is even more
complicated than that of a typical
Marvel hero he’s a complex and
fascinating character and one of the
most compelling members of x-men’s
premiere brand of mutant heroes it’s no
wonder that his fans clamor for more are
