Lucas Bishop is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer John Byrne and artist Whilce Portacio, the character first appeared in The Uncanny X-Men #282 (November 1991). Bishop belongs to a subspecies of human known as mutants, who are born with superhuman abilities. Bishop has the ability to absorb and redirect energy.
Bishop debuted as a member of a mutant police force known as the Xavier's Security Enforcers (XSE), from a dystopian future of the Marvel Universe known as Earth-1191. Travelling back in time to capture a fugitive, he remained behind and joined the X-Men, a team he idolised from legends in the future. The character is often involved in storylines involving time-travel, including the Age of Apocalypse and Messiah Complex. His sister, Shard, also appears in the comics as a member of the X.S.E. and X-Factor.
Since his original introduction in comics, the character has been featured in various other Marvel-licensed products, including video games, animated television series, and merchandise. Omar Sy portrayed Bishop in the 2014 live-action feature film, X-Men: Days of Future Past.
