I remember reading an X-men comic where Bishop is sitting in the snow, reminiscing about his sister. Allnthe while slowly absorbing the energy from ever snowflake that lands on him. That's when I realized just how awesome Bishop's powers are

[@DDarkestKnight]

Bishop was probably the 1st black Marvel superhero I ever heard of. My sibling was obsessed with Bishop they had his solo comics and everything. Glad that he's coming back.

[@chiquita683]

In the original X Men cartoon as a kid I figured he was Arabic because of his long straight hair

[@geenadasilva9287]

apparently he's of australian aborigine origin. didn't know that...

[@skarhead7597]

Aborigine not black

[@beebilbo59]

@@geenadasilva9287yeah the creator wanted to make him Filipino (like himself) but ended up making him black. Later he got retconned to be aboriginal Australian

[@jrust91]

Same same!

[@kwabenaamanfoh6675]

Let’s get it on. I love Bishop in the series. Everytime he came back, always shenanigans lol.

[@alexgaray1216]

I always thought bishop was like another cable in a weird way

[@intothefrayyo]

Huh I just don't see it .. 2 time travelers.. from dystopian futures.. with similar aesthetics ..🧐

[@spitflamez]

@@intothefrayyoYep

[@chiquita683]

Like Peter and Miles

[@mistahanansi2264]

Weird, I always thought Cable was like another Bishop 😆

[@nicholasdiaz1925]

@@mistahanansi2264 Well, technically Cable appeared before Bishop, but they're both awesome and distinct characters who happen to be time travelers

[@Star_Wars_With_PercyMan]

Bishop was always my favorite because of this cartoon and he never got enough love in live action! Dude was a real cowboy from the future, plus his conflicts with Cable and beyond were incredible strories!

[@kylecollins3755]

Bishop was my favorite character back in the day. Mostly because I loved his picture Joe Jusco did on those 94 Flair cards. Still my favorite cards to this day.

[@MichaelVillarreal-ix5pl]

Yes sir that was a masterpiece

[@user-vh2cw6xo9g]

Flair trading cards talk bout blast from the past

[@TwoTimesRmedia]

Besides wolverine , bishop was always one of my favorites. I used to collect the cards .

[@omegaminoseer4539]

Lucas Bishop is a self-fulfilling prophecy. He and Cable constantly play a Cat-and-Mouse game for Hope Summers' life, only for both to be ensuring that Hope grows militant. SURELY that won't lead her to becoming a monster with a misandrist complex.

[@TheSunkingh]

Marvel's second greatest dial down after Rogue in this reboot is the fact that they didn't give us Jeri Curl Bishop

[@mistahrobb963]

There was power in the curl my dude.

[@Cheebzsta]

It would've been peak! Then again, they changed Morph's appearance to match how he's appeared in the comics over the last couple of decades too so it's probably not that surprising they'd update him so fans who haven't seen him since the mid-90's would recognize him if they saw him in comics or other media. Still. Them curls.

[@sevun07]

I loved it when Bishop had the Caesar.

[@user-vh2cw6xo9g]

Jerry bishop is dopeee

[@SuperPeterok]

He will get it back after his time travel

[@mrparks212]

1. Yes, Bishop is one of the coldest characters in X-Men PERIOD. 2. Yes, more short form videos like this would be great.

[@la3g462]

Bishop was all we have back in the days. Crazy how they wrote him and Messiah wars

[@trence5]

Yeah, I felt him chasing after Cable to murder a child was a major character derailment.

[@la3g462]

@@trence5 there was definitely another way to tell that story. Making him a genocidal traitor must have made better sense at the time

[@ToploadedGaming]

That’s why Hope is dumb af. Her entire character sucks. Messiah stories suck, looking at you matrix revolutions, and the phoenix story is tired and used more than palpatine. Hope has both types, and she ruins near all characters she touches. I hope xmen 97 stays far away from Hope.

[@ryanthec]

As a former comics junkie in the eighties and early nineties, love your channel!

[@broc6000]

I loved the way they portrayed Bishop in X-men 97. You could really understand his motivation and how badly he wanted to fix things, despite having bad or incomplete information on how. Also sentinels from X-men 97 were so damn iconic, would love an episode on them.

[@ballan979]

Yeah I would love more videos like this. Especially of all the obscure mutants in Xmen 97. I mean the Venn diagram of people who are stoked for that show. And people who watch your channel is a circle.

[@bazzfromthebackground3696]

Always loved Bishop's old hairstyle.

[@SharpBrothersStudio]

Agree came here hoping it would explain why he got the waterfalll cut.

[@caleb_dreams]

This is a cool format, a bit more condensed and focused. I dig!

[@PenguinsInk]

Quick rundowns are great. Always learning new things, or remember things I forgot. Keep them coming!

[@Miguelx041]

Love the character explanations brotha Rob! So much history!

[@DaveKrzeminski]

Rob! Dude the OG show is why I like comics today, same as you! High five to this momentous occasion we have coming up!

[@tslodemi]

Fantastic video! Love the shortform style for your channel! Shout out to New Sage, much love man

[@YOZORA-nj3xt]

Awesome character, awesome video Rob, super excited for 97

[@rakinh]

Love the quick and dirty rundowns. Well done.

[@jway7824]

Yes! More quick and dirty explanation episodes. These are really helpful for anyone looking to explore different characters and series without being overwhelmed. 🙏

[@MrGreenmonster25]

You got a gift for breaking comics down 🔥 this channel is awesome

[@morganml3983]

Excellent!!!!! 👍🏽 More of this please😊

[@paintpaintpaintco.6039]

Yo, just wanted to say that you are an amazing channel! Idk how much work goes into each episode but it’s amazing. Thank you.

[@losojacobs5164]

Love it work....we need more of everything

[@AgueroNain]

Love Bishop. Yes more videos like this, I thought I knew Bishop but today I learned a lot today about his origin and powers

[@eternaldreamer37]

Loved this! Yes, more of this please!

[@wikydansa]

Yes, this was great and character explanations is what got me hoked to this chanel in the first place so itd be great to continue that esp with the show coming out.

[@jamalbanks1827]

Yes and I hope Marrow is in Xmen 97' I really like her character. If you can do a video on her I'd enjoy that also.

[@truthbetold2567]

Keep em coming.

[@0jikori]

Would be great to see ore short form videos like this in the future Rob! Would also be awesome to find out more about the sentinels!

[@Happytremereinc]

Hell yeah! Short breakdowns of the new characters we see next wk in xmen 97 would be awesome

[@CoffeemugMac]

thanks for the breakdown big guy

[@BlueDragon9000]

Awesome video man 😎

Def a fan of the video format. More pls

[@taariqtucker8910]

Yes I'd love to see more videos like this and Xmen 97 sounds like a great place to start, animated shows in general

[@duanepearson9207]

loooved this thanks!!! Bishop is my fav.. him and Wolv

[@samualjohnson5450]

Definitely do more if these. I've been a comic fan for thirty years but there are plenty of characters I would enjoy knowing more about. Domino for example.

[@audiaugustin]

Yes! We would love to get videos like this. What a way to start it with Bishop.

[@michaelmarcano9200]

More of this please!

[@cambo4284]

YES PLEASE do a video on the sentinels!!!

Great video dude I love Bishop he is so badass I wanted to learn more about him

[@G-Thang26]

Yes definitely do a video on the Sentinels, Nimrod and Mastermold 👍🏾👍🏾

[@Zylerzboarder]

Love the quick and dirty exp!

[@UGAlawdawg]

I love the quick and dirty (less than 10 min) explanation of characters backstory and powers. Please do more, and please do Psylocke next.

[@dangerfield85]

Bishop and Wolverine trading trash talk was a highlight for me.

[@rollingstoned8395]

Love it big dawg

[@psychedelia_]

Hell yess we want more, bro i could enjoy listenin to you explaining my grandma's young years to me, I think people should say "rob" instead of "cool" or "dope"

[@tyronemccarter1907]

Thank you, for explaining Bishop. He is underrated yo.

[@michaelcoffey1991]

In my top 5 favorite Xmen of all time, love the look, love the origin, love his powers.

[@benfreeman4795]

Keep going. I would love a nightcrawler mini video. If payed attention to the newest trailer, the one with producer and voice actors talking, their is a glisme of night crawler in there.

[@mbtoober]

@comicsexplained Hey Rob, excellent work as always dude, been subscribed for years, I’m proud of you, the quality work you do, and your dedication, passion, & knowledge of comics is top tier! Keep up the great work bro, & Yes keep making these short one off characters bio clips. Also Lucas Bishop is freaking dope! I love seeing cool Black (& poc) characters who are not token side characters 💪🏽👍🏽🙏🏽😅🔥

[@eugenebeard7718]

More videos like these please

[@leohowerton666]

Def make more of these

[@chocolateshogun2511]

His design in Age of Apocalypse was dope!

[@elijahdubois7902]

XMEN 97 BABY!

[@thisisgodkazzz]

one of my earliest memory as a kid reading x-men was Bastion hunting Iceman and Cecilia Reyes... Pacheco's art was 🔥🔥

[@sclifton8709]

Good video

[@mistahrobb963]

Ive always loved Bishops story and power set.

[@lolololalala8225]

Bishops absorbing power is really awesome.

[@rustyshackleford3518]

Short videos about specific characters would be awesome since I firmly believe the only reason Rob hasn't covered Fightman (which I know he'd love) is that there really isn't more than ten minutes of info about him lol😊

[@andrutakis]

bishop chasing cable saving hope should be a video game. the stories and timelines we could get would be the best

[@talkitup1970]

Yes we need more of these. Essentially beyond omega level.

[@spitflamez]

Bishop and Cable are both some of the coolest!

[@marcusstewart4141]

I watched the cartoons growing up! I was always a fan of Bishop's powers, and the fact he was front the future!! Glad we're at least getting g 2 seasons!! This was one of my all time favorite shows!! 🤩🤩

[@IsaacAtap]

I’m going to cosplay as Bishop for the Houston Comicpalooza this coming weekend, so I’m hype to put my outfit together.

[@Ttw1976]

Heimdall and Bishop are two of the coolest characters

[@omegajackson]

Ah i love and needed this

[@kingshadow8782]

Amazing!

[@gdolla3]

DEFINITELY would like to see a video on the sentinels and Nimrod, Rob. Let's do it. Can't wait for X-Men 97, so hype ✊🏾

[@Jojahn]

gg for calling seeing Bastion in 97

[@prprince11]

Another aspect of his power that isn't well known but I like is that, he can injure opp who are normally immune to their own abilities! Yes more please!

[@Zulu-Lemon]

I remember his old western cowboy theme music every time he traveled back

[@BigDal542]

Yes I would love to se more of these!

[@gorefist3907]

These are great. I would love to see one on Squirrel Girl. She was everywhere one day pulling amazing feats and then the next day gone.

[@EJV0013]

Great insight on this underrated character had potential on Days of Future Past

[@rayden120]

The one thing about the 90s cartoon introduced a lot of people to the Marvel universe, and when we watched that cartoon, it was most fan's understanding of the x-men universe without reading the comics. Even though we come to find out the 90s cartoon takes place in a different universe than the original 616. There is also a lot of unexplained story arc in the cartoons as well. Especially stuff dealing with Bishop and Cable

[@Mr.Polymath11b]

Bro, this video was pretty cool. Man, I'm totally remembering being a 90s teen and chilling watching this. 1) Nimrod 2)Omega Red

[@ibrahimissaiaawad2888]

I didn’t even know about Bastion, so thanks!

[@brendonohagan1946]

Super hype Rob!!

[@Yesno982004]

I remember as a kid how cool Nimrod was. The animated series was a gem!

[@katanajohnson5638]

I recently found out about Red Bishop about a year ago. Bishop is by far my favorite Mutant.

[@1kittoe650]

Rob please do indepth explanations of characters it's one of the things I think people want more of. It's one thing to tell a story but characters hold more than one story which makes it a bunch more interesting as you are told their progress and change. Love this video though if this is something you're up to do I'm more than willing to throw a like and share

[@dynamicpiece]

WOW, it was actually a lot that I didn't know about Bishop.

[@JimmNeutricity]

The more obscure the character, the more the series is needed. The more common misconceptions the character has, the more the series is needed. I did not know Bishop was not from the Future Past timeline. If you could have an editor make a graphic of who’s from what reality, I’d appreciate it.

[@leonardcasiano]

Love the quick and dirty videos!

[@danielranger8695]

Yes I love this. I'd love to see more of the not completely obscure but not completely fleshed super popular characters. Exactly like bishop. So like, Jubilee, Sunspot, gambit, iceman, beast, Hawkeye, Electra, Quentin quire, anybody on the guardians, etc.
