I think Cable eventually "kills" him. Not sure, I couldn't endure long enough to see the conclusion. It's good to see the X-writers still honoring the age-old tradition of ignoring past character personality in favor of telling the story they want to tell.PeterCSMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-62218361475381896602007-12-04T16:31:00.000-05:002007-12-04T16:31:00.000-05:00Bishop also appeared in the short lived District X...Bishop also appeared in the short lived District X series.

I liked Bishop better, relatively speaking since I prefer characters like Nightcrawler or Havok, but it really seemed to me that they were similar characters just from different points in the timeline. I think they touched on that in the "X-Men" cartoon at some point, didn't they?<BR/><BR/>Also funny was that in the second X-Men game for the Sega Game Gear (man, I played the heck out of it as a kid!), you can find Cable as a hidden character. This is funny for two reasons. 1, he is essentially a pallete-swap of Bishop. And 2, his "mutant power" is to fire his gun. That cracked me up to no end even then.<BR/><BR/>I may have to break out some <B>Excalibur</B> from this period and do a themed week thanks to you! This blog is great fun for those of us who were young enough to be enthusiastic about this stuff the first time.Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352646370918575626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-91607113770592681822007-10-10T10:45:00.000-04:002007-10-10T10:45:00.000-04:00Bishop has not been a regular in any X-Team since ...Bishop has not been a regular in any X-Team since Claremont's departure from Uncanny more than a year ago.<BR/><BR/>But he's still around, appearing in all the minis where the XSE subplot was advanced (most proeminently, CIVIL WAR: X-MEN). ISTR interviews mentionning he had a part in the upcoming Messiah Complex.<BR/><BR/>He's last been seen a few weeks ago in an Endangered Species backup strip.JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09639296536339134165noreply@blogger.com
