Bishop Appreciation

[darkhawk76]

We dunno yet, buddy. I hope its with Psylocke, I'd love to see them together, in more ways than one ;)

heh what about Deathbird, doesn't he owe child support or something ;)

I love Bishop my fav X-Man, unfortunately his whole history is sooooo complicated with the various different time zones he's been in.

I wouldn't be too surprised (but very disappointed) if Marvel just edged him out of X-Men

surely all the X-Men will be against the registration act?

I think that was a joke. He was joking about Bishop's "Gay abs."

Ah, okay. Shows what I get for mis-remembering a random post!

I suspect that Bishop will be a supporting character for a while - kind of like Forge is; perhaps New X-Men would be a good place for him to show up as a mentor/teacher.

Cannonball, didnt have a powerup to beat Gladiator. Did you read that issue? He simply used Gladiators own punch to strengthen his powers and send it back at him.

I did read the issue. I'll call it a powerup because it's something that he's never done before and it was a significant force punch that he diverted. Colossus has hit Cannonball while blasting and diverted his flightpath. I imagine that Gladiator was going to hit him much harder since Cannonball was supposedly going to get knocked into the sun. I can get behind new uses for a character's powers since CB has been shown to be creative with his powers. But, stopping a punch that would send you to the sun says powerup to me.

Yup, most likely cuz of his grandpa Gateway. I wonder how Gateway ever got laid when all he does is sit silently on Uluru.

.......Gateway is already beyond that. Some of his children or grandchildren have been on a few X-teams already. I also doubt that he's been mute all of his life. I've read that CC wanted him to lead the X-Men? Not sure about that one though.

I assume he could be a fit for X-Factor. He's an officer/detective.

Where are you getting this from? Gateway's past is a complete mystery.

I like Bishop.

Damn shame what their donig to his character now though.

Do we know where our favorite police officer from the future will endup when the change comes? Does anyone even care these days? I'm sad all my favorite x-men are really being lost in the shuffle right now.

I do like some of the recent interactions bishop has had he has come a long way from the gun slinger he was in the 90's

i'm still obsessed with the idea of the kid version of Bishop somehow ending up in the 616. i think he'd eventually be a big hit since he's complex and has a cool power set. i think it'd be away of getting around the traitor stuff since his future self wouldn't be guilty of that. what would Bishop be like if he had been raised in the present?

I was half expecting Layla and Madrox escaping into the past with young Bishop and a camp full of mutants.

I couldn't agree more. Man, I wish Claremont would have done more with the Bishop/Sage pairing. It didn't have to be romantic but they were very good together. He has a daughter, Gateway is his grandfather, Monet could possibly be his mother. The possibilities were endless......until Messiah Complex. Gotta be careful what I wish for. Wanted Bishop to be a player again but not like this. His job with SHIELD will be gone, the X-Men will have a hard time trusting him again. I do have my old books to ease the pain.

[Kage Kisaragi]

Bishop is probably gonna be killed by Cable or Cyclops or something and Jamie and Layla might raise young Bishop in the future so that he turns out different. What I could go on to say would come out way to racially charged so I'm gonna leave it at that, but prepare to see perhaps young Bishop in the near future more than adult bishop. Also Where the hell is Shard!? This is a great opportunity to save a potential great character and bring her back and undo the crap that was Fitzroy.

[Greg Anderson]

Man, for years I wanted PAD to write Bishop in his X-Factor. Even if he wasn't part of the team, but as a recurring detective, that would have been good to see, but nooooo. :(

Ah well, I'm enjoying him in the Messiah Complex storyline. Finally he's doing something again. I thought him being registered and working with the ONE would maybe even put him on Mighty Avengers, but whatever.

I just hope dude doesn't die. :(

[Kage Kisaragi]

Thats interesting, I didn't know he could use it in that fashion. So on that same token, can he absorb the kinetic energy from a punch as well? And if he can, why the hell has he gotten decked so many times?

because beating up Bishop is a rite of passage, its like the first step in proving that you are badass. By knocking out the guy with the big guns and muscles who with his powers should be pretty uber but never really pushed as such because it'd be kind of overwhelming you are seen as the coolest thing since whipped cream (Ask Scott it works. :p). It's amazing that people don't go knocking out Strong Guy whenever they want some face time or Colossus.

[Micro]

If they do end up killing him off, it would be shame; but it would be kind of cool to see him get killed, but then another verison of him come from the future he has already effected.
