This is a lead-in for Bishop’s role in the “Team X 2000” series: Bishop in spaaaaaaaaaace.
In case you forgot, Bishop and Deathbird are still out in space with the X-Men believing Bishop to be dead and lovers of characters with an ounce of original thought wishing that were true. Bishop is just a big guy with a gun. He’s Cable with a less interesting past. He’s Punisher without any real purpose.
