Lucas Bishop is back from the dystopian future as he joins his fellow mutants with the newest Mezco Toyz: X-Men – Bishop One:12 Collective Action Figure release.

Bishop is a time-traveling mutant, created in 1991 by John Byrne and Jim Lee. He quickly became one of the most important and mysterious characters of the series. Although he was initially a hero, he is now considered a villain and enemy of the X-Men.

Bishop – The Wronged One

In the comics, Bishop is a mutant who travels to the past to join the X-Men in hopes of reversing the events of their dark future, which the Sentinels completely dominate. Bishop’s powers involve absorbing energy and releasing it upon the opponent.

Featured prominently in several comics stories, Bishop also played a role in the iconic X-Men animation of the 1990s. Unfortunately, the character only appeared once in the movies, during X-Men: Days of a Forgotten Future, and his participation was more than lackluster.

In X-Men: Days of Future Past, Bishop, played by actor Omar Sy, has the same powers as he does in the comics. In the movie, his consciousness is sent to a few days in the past to prevent an attack by Sentinels. After this, his participation in the film is almost nil.

In the end, X-Men: Days of Future Past fails even to show Bishop’s fate, which is not fully revealed in the final act of the feature. Yes, the Sentinel-dominated future has been erased, but what is Bishop’s role in this new future?
