Lucas Bishop is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer John Byrne and artist Whilce Portacio, the character first appeared in The Uncanny X-Men #282 (November 1991). Bishop belongs to a subspecies of human known as mutants, who are born with superhuman abilities. Bishop has the ability to absorb and redirect energy.

Bishop debuted as a member of a mutant police force known as the Xavier's Security Enforcers (XSE), from a dystopian future of the Marvel Universe known as Earth-1191. Travelling back in time to capture a fugitive, he remained behind and joined the X-Men, a team he idolised from legends in the future. The character is often involved in storylines involving time-travel, including the Age of Apocalypse and Messiah Complex. His sister, Shard, also appears in the comics as a member of the X.S.E. and X-Factor.

Since his original introduction in comics, the character has been featured in various other Marvel-licensed products, including video games, animated television series, and merchandise. Omar Sy portrayed Bishop in the 2014 live-action feature film, X-Men: Days of Future Past.

During an interview Whilce Portacio discussed the creation of the character:

Visually Bishop was my John Ford days, the blue and yellow that's why the scarf, that's why the blue and the yellow and the high officer riding boots, it was all Cavalry... and this was the last element the Jheri curls and you got to remember Prince was big back then.

According to Portacio, he originally intended for Bishop to be Filipino like himself, using Efren Reyes and Gary Valenciano as inspirations for the character. However, editor Bob Harras asked for Bishop to be black instead, as many African American children sent fan mail to the X-Men office and Harras wanted a hero who could inspire these readers. Portacio agreed, remarking "understanding as a minority, I couldn't say no. I was already operating in the mood of being Pinoy, diba? Learning about our ugali. And that's another part of it. Pagbigyan, diba? (give it up, right?) there's always another time."

Bishop debuted in The Uncanny X-Men #282 (November 1991), created by Whilce Portacio and John Byrne. He appeared in the Bishop (1994-1995) series, his first solo comic book series, in which he tracked and fought Mountjoy, in the 1995 X-Men: Alpha one-shot, the Onslaught: X-Men (June 1996) one-shot, XSE (November 1996-February 1997) series, which showcased his past (future), the sequel Bishop: Xavier's Security Enforcers (January–March 1998), his second solo comic book series, the eight-issue Gambit and Bishop: Sons of the Atom (2001) series, where he teamed up with Gambit to oppose Stryfe, and the Bishop: The Last X-Man (August 1999-January 2001) series, his third solo comic book series, in which he was trapped in another alternate timeline.
