Lucas Bishop is a mutant born in a dystopic future who has travelled back in time and has joined the legendary mutants he had only known through bedtime stories, the X-Men. In his original timeline, Bishop served as a member of the X.S.E. mutant police force. Chasing the criminal Fitzroy, Bishop entered an intertemporal portal and arrived decades prior to his own birth. With the X-Men, he reconsidered his authoritarian upbringing and found a family to get support from and rely on.
Bishop's police training has directed him to approach mutant-human relations under a law-enforcement approach, joining the X-Treme X-Men, Storm's X.S.E., and O*N*E*, and by acting as a peacekeeper in Mutant Town. In an unexpected turn of events, Bishop betrayed the X-Men following the birth of Hope, the mutant messiah who was claimed to have caused his world to systematically prosecute mutants. After hunting Hope for years, Bishop has eventually met his redemption by regretting his actions.
On the mutant island-nation of Krakoa, Bishop has become one of its Great Captains, the highest officers of its military operations, and has even ascended to the rank of Captain Commander.[19] Intending to provide the young country with militaristic training on the Danger Island, Bishop has volunteered preside over the Krakoan war college. Moreover, he has formed ties with the Hellfire Trading Company, getting a position as the Red Bishop and joining the crew of the Marauders.
