The Days of Future Past storyline was adapted in the X-Men animated series, where its concepts were combined with another alternate future story - that of Bishop and the idea of a traitor within the ranks of the X-Men. Wikipedia_talkFeatured_lists#Proposed_change_to_all_featured_lists for an explanation of this and other inclusion tags below --> The 1992 X-Men animated For the newer X-Men animated series see X-Men Evolution. For other uses see the X-Men (disambiguation page Bishop ( Lucas Bishop) is a Fictional character, a Marvel Comics Superhero who is a member of the X-Men. In the original comic book version of this story, this traitor was responsible for killing the X-Men, and was believed by Bishop to be Gambit - combined into the Days of Future Past plot, this traitor was made responsible for being the one who killed Senator Kelly, and turned out to be Mystique, merely imitating Gambit's form. Gambit ( Remy LeBeau) is a Fictional character, a Marvel Comics Superhero that has been a member of the X-Men.

The future that Kelly's death led to was much the same as the comics - Sentinels went into mass production and were unleashed upon an unsuspecting mutant population. Every mutant on Earth was captured and led to concentration camps, but soon, the Sentinels decided that, in order to protect mankind, they would have to take over. Under the machines' tyrannical rule, the entire North American continent was soon turned into a wasteland, its human population living in fear of their robotic masters and its mutant population rendered almost extinct. Only a small group of mutant rebels remained free and unharmed, led by an aged Wolverine. In this future time of 2050, Bishop is not the mutant police agent that he is in his comics' future, but a bounty hunter who soon captures Wolverine and his teammates; when the Sentinels betray him, however, he sides with Wolverine and the machinesmith, Forge, who has invented a time portal that he will use to alter history and prevent their nightmarish future from ever occurring. Forge is a Fictional character in the, a Superhero associated with The X-Men. Bishop volunteers and travels back in time, only to arrive amnesiac and pursued by the future super-sentinel, Nimrod. Nimrod is a Fictional character that appears in Comic books published by Marvel Comics. After an encounter with the present-day X-Men, a battle with Nimrod and a mind-scan by Professor X, Bishop's memory returns and he implicates Gambit as the traitor he has been sent to stop. Charles Francis Xavier, also known as Professor X, is a Fictional character, a Marvel Comics Superhero known as the leader and founder of Unsure of how to react, the X-Men travel to Washington to guard Kelly and wind up battling the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants (邪悪な変異体の同胞団 jaaku na hen'i karada no douhou dan also known as " The Brotherhood " and Brotherhood of Mutants Their leader, Mystique, uses her shape-shifting powers to disguise herself as Kelly's aid and lure him away, before assuming Gambit's form and preparing to kill him, thereby implicating the X-Men as a national threat. The real Gambit arrives in time to stop her, but when Bishop finds himself confronted with two Gambits, he is about to shoot both of them for security's sake when Rogue stops him, tearing off the armband that keeps him anchored in time, hurling him back to his own future.

Arriving back in his future, it first seemed to Bishop that nothing had changed and that the world was still as he had left it, but he soon discovered that something had changed - a deadly plague now raged across the world, engineered by the ancient mutant, Apocalypse. Travelling back in time once more to stop the virus, Bishop succeeded, but the X-Men perished in the effort. This in turn caused the erasure of the future reality of 3999, home-time to the mutant mercenary Cable, who travelled back to before Bishop's arrival in the past and altered events once more to ensure the destruction of the virus, the survival of the X-Men and the preservation of both his and Bishop's timelines. Cable is a Fictional character that appears in Comic books published by Marvel Comics.

When the time-portal-generating mutant Trevor Fitzroy was assigned the task of travelling back to the mid-20th Century and killing a young Professor X, his actions created an alternate present (analogous to the comic book's Age of Apocalypse). Trevor Fitzroy is a Marvel Comics Supervillain, an enemy of the X-Men, in particular Bishop. The "Age of Apocalypse" is a popular X-Men Story arc. Bishop and his sister, Shard travelled to this time and teamed up with the alternate versions of Wolverine and Storm, undoing Fitzroy's actions. Shard ( Shard Bishop) is a mutant character in the Marvel Comics universe. Storm ( Ororo Iqadi T'Challa, née Munroe is a Fictional character that appears in a number of Comic books published by Marvel Comics. As the siblings returned to their own time, Shard emerged through the portal, but Bishop was cast off-course by a temporal anomaly - in 3999, Apocalypse has wrested the power of time-travel from Cable, and his transit through the timestream clashed with Bishop's, hurling them both into limbo, the "axis of time. " There, Bishop was pestered by the maniac "janitor of time," Bender (actually the disguised form of the Avengers foe, Immortus) while Apocalypse mastered the axis's ability to touch all times, forming a complex plot to re-write time using the combined power of captured psychic mutants. Immortus ( Nathaniel Richards) is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe. Bishop was instrumental in putting this scheme to a stop, liberating some of the psychics at a key juncture, who then used their powers to banish Apocalypse from the timestream.

As of the end of the series, the storyline remains unresolved, with nothing having been shown to alter Bishop's future from the dystopia seen in Days of Future Past.
