    I think it is nice Bishop being the smart detective, but i want to see more of his personal story and powers.

    I kind of hate when they do stuff like that though. Kind of deus ex machina of the powers.

    "Hey..you got him falling to his death...how you gonna get him out of it?"
    "By doing something he with his powers he has never done before."

    Arguably his ability to absorb energy could have absorbed kinetic energy of the impact.

    I don't see it like that. He was forced to use his powers in a way that he hadn't before to save his life. It was a natural extension of his abilities.

    The problem is so far we haven't seen him doing any spying related activities or really doing much of anything but being a crew member on Kitty's boat. He's sort of just there. If he was off on his own doing his own thing and working in concert with the team that would be good. He would have his own storyline but instead he's relegated to being Kitty's man. I think Duggan was forced to put him on the team because it doesn't seem like he knows what to do with him. Bishop would have been better off in X-force or X-factor honestly, or something else all together because Marauders is not doing it for him. Not really doing anything for Storm either.

    Yeah, I think there has to be a storyline focusing on Bishop and for each of the other characters for that matter.

    As I understand it, getting punched just gives Bishop energy to absorb, but doesn’t prevent him from getting bruised. Am I wrong?

    Falling splat is like a huge, mega-punch.

    They could say "a fall like that is like a 2 story fall for a person in exceptional shape. He absorbed most of the impact but cracked several ribs and dislocated a shoulder.

    I don’t think Bishop has ever been shown to have extreme physical durability like that, though?

    The “using my blast powers to stop my fall” makes more sense than him suddenly being near invulnerable. And it shows a pretty cool display of fine-tuned control.

    But to each their own, maybe.

    I wish he was wearing more red as befits his new status as Red Bishop...he looks scrummylicious and his rows are tight but...I want full on shades of red everything with black or silver accents.

    Gimme a scene where Bishop sucks all the heat and light out of a room. The dude is NEVER out of ammo.

    Can Bishop consciously control how and what he absorbs like that? Or is it just whatever is thrown at him?

    Wasn't there a scene in the 90s where he tells Cyclops that he's always soaking up energy, he just lets it go unless he uses it? I was like well DAYUM put him outside and tell him to throw it to 11 and watch the sky go dark.

    Well yeah. But light is always hitting everyone, so he’s always absorbing it. To absorb all light around him would require some sort of “suction”, for lack of a better term.

    I see what you're asking. You're saying he has no active toggle or valve for the energy absorption aspect of his powerset. That may be true. No clue. I feel like... wouldn't that be the first thing you work on?

    What's your preference?
