THE TIME-LOST X-MAN IS BACK!
Bishop has always lived by a strict code. But that code will get called into question when his sister, Shard, is sent to the present right before she died! Will Bishop adhere to his principles and protect the timestream? Or will he risk it all to save the most important person in his life? Superstar writer Saladin Ahmed will put the tough-as-nails mutant through the ringer!
Bishop, the energy-absorbing powerhouse X-Man, hails from one of mutantkind’s darkest futures. This June, that future comes back to bite in Bishop, an all-new five-issue limited series by writer Saladin Ahmed and art by Mario Santoro.
In the series, Bishop finds himself in a fight against fate when the Final Brotherhood, a new group of villains originating from his future, journey to the past to end his time in the present once and for all. In order to stop them and prevent further disruption of the timeline, Bishop will team up with his sister Shard, a fan-favorite character who starred in ‘90s X-Factor as well as previous Bishop solo series, whose tragic fate haunts Bishop to this day. Similar to recently launched solo X-titles like Rogue and Cyclops, BISHOP promises to deliver a thrilling, standalone saga that encapsulates the heart and history of the character—all while putting them through the ringer on their most challenging and legacy-defining missions yet!

A member of Marvel’s legendary X-Men, Lucas Bishop is a former police officer from a dystopian future with the mutant ability to absorb and release energy.
The Bishop: Future and Past Premium Format Figure by Sideshow showcases the converging missions of this time-traveling mutant hero.
This fully sculpted piece measures 20 inches tall and 17.6 inches wide. Bishop is presented in his ’90s-era blue and gold costume with a red bandana. The detailed portrait sports his distinctive M tattoo and long wavy hair. Ready for whatever the future or the past may bring, he wields massive dual X.S.E. guns.
The intricate base is split into two distinct environments, one a decimated training facility and one with scattered mechanical parts plus anti-mutant propaganda posters. A large, circular, pink portal bisects the scene and features a light-up function which illuminates the piece.
Bishop uses his energy-based powers and a temporal device to take him through a swirling portal, stepping forward in search of hope while one foot remains fixed in the ruins of the X-Mansion. In the past, Bishop leaves behind the wreckage of a battle in the Danger Room. In the future, he treks across a Sentinel-studded battleground.
The Exclusive Edition includes an alternate, swap-out portrait featuring the character’s contemporary look with a bald appearance. Bishop’s energy absorption and metabolization abilities are shown as pink flourishes emanating from his eyes with a striking light-up feature.
Join the fight for mutantkind with the Bishop: Future and Past Premium Format Figure and Exclusive Edition. Available to pre-order now.

The year was 1991, and the X-Men were at the forefront of their incredible 90s heyday. Enter Lucas Bishop! Created by Whilce Portacio and John Byrne along with Portacio’s longtime friend, artist Karl Altstaetter, Bishop burst onto the scene from the far future and infused the mutant mythos with his explosive no-nonsense attitude and the riveting mystery that drove him. The energy-absorbing mutant soldier has been a central figure in X-Men storytelling ever since, and this January, fans will travel back in time to his groundbreaking comics debut in X-Men Legends #5-6. The saga will be written and drawn by Portacio himself along with prolific comics writer Brian Haberlin.
The story will finally reveal the genesis of Bishop’s fateful time travel mission that pulled him from the future and into the X-Men’s present! Presaging Bishop’s first appearance in the classic Uncanny X-Men #282, the arc will shed new light on Bishop’s original motivations and the intense guilt he feels over his fallen teammates as well as provide surprising depth to the dystopian world he left behind. This incredible and moving two-parter is only the latest X-Men epic in X-Men Legends, the series that sees X-Men’s greatest creators return with all-new, in-continuity tales set during their original iconic runs!
Bishop, Malcolm, and Randall, the elite Omega Squad, have discovered a dark truth about the X.S.E. After a mission goes sideways, how far will they be willing to go to make this right? To the past — and beyond! Bishop will make the most shocking decision in X-MEN LEGENDS history that will redefine what you thought you knew about mutantkind’s future and the reason behind Bishop’s collision with the X-Men!
Witness legendary Whilce Portacio’s never-before-told vision for Bishop when X-Men Legends #5 hits stands in January!
