Every episode of X-Men: The Animated Series featuring Bishop
Days of Future Past – Part One
In Days of Future Past – Part One, the future is a dark place. The robotic Sentinels have wiped out almost all of mutant life on the planet, as part of a misguided scheme to protect humanity.
Mutant inventor, Forge, believes the world descended down a dark path due to an assassination in the 1990s. Hoping to avert the high-profile death, and change the future, he sends the mutant Bishop back in time.
Days of Future Past – Part Two
Picking up the story from Part One, Days of Future Past – Part Two sees Bishop convinced the assassin is the mutant, Gambit. However, as Bishop soon discovers, other mutants are involved in the deadly assassination attempt.
Time Fugitives – Part One
After averting the assassination, Bishop returns to the future only to discover the world is still in a dark place. The Sentinel-controlled future is no more, but in its place is a deadly mutant-virus which has caused insurmountable deaths.
Time Fugitives – Part Two
Back in the 1990s, Bishop attempts to stop the spread of the virus but hits a huge stumbling block in the shape of Apocalypse, as well as another time-travelling mutant named Cable. Cable comes from even further in the future than Bishop, and he is not keen on Bishop meddling with the past.
