Black Superhero: Bishop

Bishop

 

Lucas Bishop is his name. He's from Brooklyn. In an alternate reality. In a prison. His life was struggle from the start. How are your born inside prison for mutants. To be fair he and his sister Shard (Future Post?) were raised in a good home after escaping. This was all during the Summer's Rebellion where mutants and humans united to overcome the sentinels. But his grandmother couldn't have that. So she kidnapped them and raised them in concentration camps. My grandmother would never do some ignorant stuff like that.

His grandmother died of old age before the war was even over. I told yall she should not have been raising those kids. But like a good big brother he promised to take care of Shard. Soon the war was over and they had to survive. So they stole. They stole everything and they were good at it too. They were two thieving cats like Kit and Kat. But luck ran out and they got caught trying to rob a man named Hancock.(Not Will Smith and I won't be covering that struggle)  Hancock was blind war veteran. He took them in and raised him.

Bishop grew up to be a fan of the Exhumes. They hated non mutants. But there had just been a war where humans and mutants worked together. Bishop got a reality check when he learned that these were not the good guys. They took his sister and killed Hancock. Eventually the XSE saved his sister and he became a fan. When he was older he joined them. Eventually he was so bad ass he became a commander.

Eventually Shard got hurt. He seriously not doing good at protecting her like he promised. It must have been a Black Dynomite type of promise.

"Your brother died"
"How?"
"He was on that stuff"
"I promise I'll find his killer"
"I hope you ain't promising me like you promised your momma"

Had to put that in there. Anyway eventually he turns to the bad guys for help. A guy named Witness turned shard into a holographic person. This saved her life? In return Bishop had to quite XSE and work for Witness for a year. Nobody know the trouble he's seen, seriously nobody knows what he did for 365 days. But it's cool they let him back in XSE in the exact same position he left. That's white privilege, wait can't use that joke.

Bishop and his Omega Squad were at the old destroyed Xavier Mansion on a mission and guess what? That's right, more struggle. Bishop and his team were captured by a former XSE member Trevor Fitzroy. While being captured he found a recording from the dead Jean Grey. Did I mention the X-Men had been dead for a long time in his dimension? Well I did now. The recording stated that they were destroyed by a traitor from inside the team. (I bet it was Wolverine, that guy is a loose cannon.) This lead Bishop to seek answers when he was free.

Why did he go to Witness again? He told them a little information. While in the prison Trevor uses his powers to create a portal and escape to our dimension with almost 100 criminal mutants. Bishop of course jumps straight through the portal. His team of course jump through the portal and follow their fearless leader

On arrival he meets the X-Men who he doesn't trust. But they did help him catch all the criminals except Trevor. He joins the X-Men after Storm and Xavier ask him. He realizes that Gambit is a young version of Witness. Damn, Gambit is probably the traitor. Can I assume he was manipulated by Rouge?

Bishop just forced himself into the role of Xavier's body Guard. Cable showed up and almost killed Xavier. Good job Bishop. He teams up with Wolverine. Together they learn Cable is innocent and it was Stryfe. A three on one ass beating takes place for ten days and ten nights. Only taking breaks to tag in and out. This was one of the most spectacular ass beatings in the history of ass beatings.

After that Bishop was still feeling. So he tried to leave the X-Men but Storm and Wolverine convinced him to stick around. Later he saved Xavier from Sabertooth to redeem himself. The rest is history.

Here's a picture with his recent hair cut. I figured people would recognize the long hair easier.
