Powers: Bishop is a mutant with the ability to absorb and re-channel energy; whether in its original form or converted into concussive force.

Biography
Bishop grew up eighty years in the future in a concentration camp for mutants. He was branded along with his sister while there until the summers rebellion in which his grandmother died. He lived on the street taking care of his sister until they were both recruited in the X.S.E. Here he became rivals with Trevor Fitzroy who was dating his sister. When Fitzroy defected from the team and became the most notorious criminal in there time their rivalry only got worse.
After finally incarcerating the villain, Fitzroy escaped into the time stream and later opened a massive portal into the past in the middle of the prison thus allowing them to escape into the past. Bishop and best friends Randall and Malcolm journeyed back to stop them and his friends died and he was left stranded. Forge helped him bring back his dead sister Shard at this time. Initially he was suspect of Gambit to betray the team but it was later found out to be Xavier himself possessed by Onslaught. He was then abducted into space and shared a brief romance with Shiar Princess Deathbird (in an alternate time she gave birth to there daughter Aliyah Bishop). When he returned home he was taken into another time line to battle Fitzroy. The resulting battle saw his sister and Fitzroy killed. He then joined Storm‘s Extreme X-men team where he learns that Gateway was his grandfather. When the mutant population swelled to millions he became a police officer in charge of District X also known as mutant town.
When the mutant Messiah was born Bishop went against his teammates and tried to kill the child as she was a key component in his world becoming a reality since she would kill millions of humans. The x-men fought him off, he lost and arm and he battled Cable the child’s guardian throughout time before being captured by the X-men and left stranded in time.
He returns on an unknown mission facing Storm and the Uncanny X-force.
