Meeting with the Legends
X-Men Fitzroy escaped from prison and used a large amount of mutant life-force to open a time portal and break out 93 mutant criminal "Lifers" in the process. Bishop found himself in the past, in the time of his heroes, the X-Men. Bishop and the Omega Squad eventually "sanctioned" the Lifers, but did not get Fitzroy. Bishop encountered the X-Men for the first time, but not believing who they said they were, he battled them at first. He then allied with the X-Men in trying to stop Fitzroy, and MalcolmandRandall, the two members of his Omega Squad, died in the battle.Professor Xavieroffered him a place in the X-Men, and was placed under Storm's tutelage. He fought and defeated Styglut. When he met Gambit, Bishop recognized him as possibly a younger version of the Witness and fought him. Bishop also recognizedJubileeas the 'last X-Man', but this has been proven false.
Bishop soon meetsMystiquefor the first time, and alongside the X-Men he battled theMorlocksand theDeath Sponsors. Bishop assigned himself the role of Xavier’s personal bodyguard, which he failed at whenStryfe, the evil double ofCable, critically wounded Xavier. Initially, the X-Men believed that Cable was the would-be assassin, soWolverineand Bishop tracked down Cable, but then traveled to Cable's "Professor" starship, and then joined with them in finding Stryfe. Citing his failure to protect Professor X, Bishop offered to resign from the X-Men. His resignation was rejected by Xavier, and then alongside the X-men, he battled theAcolytes.
Later, Bishop would be the one to save lives whenSabretoothescaped from his cell and the only other X-Men were busy or unable to fight him.

Age of Apocalypse When Professor Xavier's insane son — the mutant Legion— went back in time to assassinateMagneto, Bishop was one of the X-Men sent to stop him. When they failed, and Legion accidentally killed Professor Xavier, Bishop was the only time-traveler to remain when history was altered and became theAge of Apocalypse. He eventually convinced the Magneto of that era that the existence of this reality was wrong, and with a great amount of sacrifice, managed to correct the error and stop Legion. After the timeline reset itself, Bishop received some of his counterpart's unsettling memories of the Age of Apocalypse.
Onslaught
The traitor in the X-Men was eventually revealed to be Professor X in the form ofOnslaught. Bishop's knowledge of the future was the only thing that stopped Onslaught from killing the X-Men, although it was not enough to prevent Onslaught from nearly destroying all of humanity. He made peace with Gambit, who was not the traitor after all. On a mission in deep space to stop the Phalanx, Bishop became separated from the rest of the X-Men. Despite trickery and base manipulation byDeathbird, he entered into a romantic relationship with her. They had many adventures far out in space but when she turned on him and the X-Men, he seemingly killed her. Following this, Bishop spent some time in a distant possible future, detailed in the Bishop: The Last X-Manseries, where he again faced Trevor Fitzroy. He was temporarily returned to the present byApocalypsewho needed him as one ofThe Twelve, before finally returning permanently during theMaximum Securitycrossover.

District X
District XRecently, Bishop joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation and appeared regularly in District X, a police procedural set in a mutant ghetto in New York City. Since the House of M, Bishop continues to visit New York, but since a majority of the mutant population of District X was wiped out by theScarlet Witch, Bishop has instead primarily turned his attention back to the X-Men and school. He has been going on missions with the team, such as taking down the Shi'ar Death Commandos, or fighting the Foursaken. Bishop helpedPsylockedeal with the Foursaken and the First Fallen, as well as helping Storm save Africa from soldiers taking children from villages.
Civil War
Civil WarIn the Civil War: X-Menminiseries, Bishop sides with theO*N*E*to bring in the X-Men andthe 198. He even argued withCyclopsover letting them go.Val CooperandTony Starklet Bishop leadMicromaxandSabrainto action againstDomino,Shatterstar, and the 198. Bishop led them to the base where the 198 were hiding and told the X-Men to stand down. However, General Demetrius Lazer betrayed him by ensuring that Cyclops attacked Bishop. Though at first he simply absorbed it, the power was too much for him to control as he was overwhelmed, and he was forced to direct the energy he had absorbed upwards in a powerful blast that would easily destroy a O*N*E* Sentinel. He later teamed up with the X-Men to save the 198 from a bomb explosion, and then went his own way, leaving the X-Men. Bishop is among Iron Man's pro-registration forces that guard theNegative Zoneprison. When Captain America's team breaks in, a fight ensues, putting Bishop at odds with

Messiah Complex
In Messiah Complex, the precipitating event causing Bishop's future is finally revealed, i.e., the birth of the first mutant child sinceM-Day. As theMarauders, onMr. Sinister'sorders, try to gather anyone and anything with knowledge of the future, he is the only target they were unable to locate and terminate. It is revealed that he betrayed the X-Men and attempted to kill the baby, however before he could kill the baby he was thwarted by the Marauders who escape with the baby. As X-Men arrive on the scene, Bishop pretends to have attempted to retrieve the baby. AsMultiple Man’s dupe andLayla Millerfind out in their mission to one of the possible futures (80 years in the future) that the birth of the child created, the child apparently kills a million people in an event dubbed the Six-Second War, and the U.S. government incarcerates all the mutants into concentration camps, where Bishop is born, grows up, and sees his parents killed. As Multiple Man's dupe and Layla find out, Bishop wishes at a young age to have had the opportunity to kill the baby so that , while he would not be born, he would also not have to see his parents die and to endure the horrors of life in the concentration camps. Layla kills the dupe so that the information conveyed to them by young Bishop can return to the present to the Multiple Man prime who conveys Bishop's treachery to the X-Men. The X-Men then attempt to alertX-Forceto Bishop's betrayal, but he manages to block out all of their channels of communication. After arriving on Muir Isle and fighting past the Marauders, Bishop finds Cable attempting to escape with the baby and begins to attack when both mutants are attacked by Predator X, who viciously rips off Bishop's right arm. The wound does not kill him though and in an attempt to shoot down a teleporting Cable, he misses and hitsProfessor Xinstead.

Cybernetic Arm: After the events of "Messiah Complex" in which Bishop loses an arm, he resorts to breaking into Forge's laboratory to find a replacement. According to the sign which identified the cybernetic arm that was stolen by Bishop, it is a "nuclear-powered battle-ready arm". All of the capabilities have not yet been revealed at this time, however Bishop has been shown to be able to release two clawed tendrils from the arm which he used to ensnare and strangle Cable. The arm was also revealed to have been modified to include Forge's time travel technology allowing Bishop to time-jump. Judging from the nature of the arm, not to mention its nuclear power source it is likely to have a considerable amount of superhuman strength, as well as, perhaps, abilities not yet revealed.
Bishop has no counterpart in the main Marvel reality. This is because he has probably not been born yet. Earth-295
Bishop has no counterpart in the Age of Apocalypse either. The Bishop that appears is the main Bishop from Earth-1191. Earth-1610/Earth-2107
The Ultimate universes Bishop came back from a future timeline to stop Cable from killing Charles Xavier. He became trapped on Earth-1610 and since the X-Men disbanded after failing to prevent Xavier's death, Bishop began to assemble his own group of X-Men with base in Australia. Because this version of Bishop came from a future timeline his own reality wouldn't be Earth-1610 but has been designated Earth-2107. X-Men: The End
In this reality Bishop had a daughter with Deathbird. The daughters name was Aliyah Bishop

Powers
Bishop is a mutant who can absorb most types of energy directed toward him. He can then re-channel it through his body for concussive blasts or in the same form that was absorbed, including Storm's weather effects. This re-channeled energy is apparently able to damage beings normally immune to their own powers. The nature of his powers makes it difficult to damage him with energy-based attacks, while also enabling him to work well with any energy-using teammates. Bishop can also store absorbed energy within his personal reserves, whereupon the energy increases his strength and recuperative abilities, as well as affording him a measure of invulnerability. However some energy types are more difficult to absorb than others. Bishop can be overloaded by trying to absorb too much energy.Cybernetic Arm: After the events of "Messiah Complex" in which Bishop loses an arm, he resorts to breaking into Forge's laboratory to find a replacement.
