The titular Bishop is a time traveller, a member of the mutant police force the X.S.E. (Xavier's Security Enforcers) from 70 years in the future. Along with his colleagues Randall and Malcolm, he pursued the mutant criminal Fitzroy and his allies through a portal to the present day. Now his comrades are dead and Bishop's joined the X-Men, the band of mutant heroes he'd only read about in the history books.
When Bishop discovers that one fugitive from the future is still at large, the murderous body-thief Mountjoy, the hunt for the killer brings back old memories and makes Bishop question his own identity. Is he an X-Man, or an X.S.E. officer?

* ThouShaltNotKill: Bishop finds himself caught between his X.S.E. training, which instructs him to execute Mountjoy, and the X-Men's less lethal philosophy. The hologram of his sister, X.S.E. officer Shard, voices the argument in favor of killing Mountjoy, who's essentially a superpowered SerialKiller. [[spoiler:Bishop eventually decides against that, following Xavier's principles and rejoining the X-Men instead]].

* SuperReflexes: Mountjoy effortlessly defeats normal foes, often relying on knives and a crossbow rather than his powers. It initially seems he's a very fast, superhumanly skilled warrior, but this is subverted when it's revealed that his 'Basilisk Field' is slowing anyone who gets too close to him.

!!''Bishop'' contains examples of the following tropes:
* DangerRoomColdOpen: The first issue opens with Bishop, Randall and Malcolm fighting against Fitzroy's renegades. It's not a flashback, it's a danger room simulation of the battle in which Randall and Malcolm died. Bishop's been repeating it almost daily, trying to find a path that would have saved his friends, refusing to accept that it's [[UnwinnableTrainingSimulation an impossible challenge]].
* HeKnowsTooMuch: Bantam, whose body was [[GrandTheftMe hosting Mountjoy]], is the only person who knows the body thief travelled back in time with Fitzroy's rabble, as hiding within Bantam made him undetectable. And if Mountjoy can silence Bantam before he tells Bishop, then nobody will know he's here at all...
