Bishop Appreciation

I like Bishop. I miss X-Treme Era and Claremont Uncanny Era Bishop. Before that stupid Cable series. I prefer my Bishop with short hair and a beard. I also ship him with Cable and Sage.
Bishop and save forever.

Nope they should have gone with a classic evil alt reality version or mind control instead they danced around it.

It was so stupid. In a storyline that was completely about time travel and evil twins, they didn't use either to 'fix' bishop...

Bishop was great in the movie. I'd like to see him replace Cable in the current X-Force.

[Omegastorm]

Why? He would fit right in with Wanda.

Wanda only fits with Scott.

You don't get the alt reality or evil twin excuse when you're black. Comic Book rule 107.

I liked Bishop before he was turned into Hope's assassin.

How you do like how he was shown in the movie? It was neat seeing him draw energy from Sunspot and Storm, and fighting of course. He had an accent too, though I am not sure what kind... French or Jamaican maybe?

[Bafflement]

The actor is French, so that's where the accent comes from.

The BIshop Verion was great, the book version should be forgotten if they don't want to bother redeeming him.

Does anyone have any updates regarding the status of Bishop?

I was a Bishop fan as due to the 90's cartoon series "For the future!", and that western guitar riff they played as his theme song. His guest star in the Gen-X emplate arc was a favorite of mine. I do believe he has been misused in and since the messiah arc.

[Beezzi]

Yeah, poor Bish got a pretty raw deal.

He had some great fish out of water bits in the early comics. I have two fav Bishop moments.

The first happens just as he arrives at the mansion. He informs Prof X that his been send to stop an assassin and Xavier's like '...That's nice to know Bishop, now we're all going to a picnic.' and Bishop just like, 'WHAT?!' (That issue also featured the infamous boysenberry pie of DOOM.)

My second fav is the one where Bishop and Gambit went to the bar and had some quality father/son time. (Bishop drank Dr Pepper of course.)

That is putting it mildly Bishop is lucky Hope is not popular

Crazy how Bishop & Synch got raw deals after Scott Lodbell left the books.

I did enjoy CC writing Bishop.

I really enjoyed the John Ostrander Bishop stories, too.

I have to agree with you. I cringe at what his ultimate fate would have been if she really took off as a character.
