Bishop

Creation & Design

Bishop was created by writer Jim Lee and artist Chris Claremont, introduced as a time-traveling mutant from a dystopian future.

Early Years

Bishop's early years were spent in a future where mutants were hunted, leading him to join the XSE (Xavier Security Enforcers) to protect his kind.

Character Development

Bishop's character has evolved from a time-traveling enforcer to a complex figure grappling with his past and the implications of his actions on the future of mutantkind.
