The ’90s-era X-Men: The Animated Series ran for five seasons. Along the way, the show loosely adapted several fan-favorite storylines from the comics. In its inaugural season, the follow-up series X-Men ’97 on Disney+ has continued this trend. The show has already packed in a wealth of acknowledgments for many more classic comic arcs. The two-episode pilot wasted no time cramming in nods to many long-recognized and fondly remembered comic stories. But the rest of the season has no shortage of familiar plotlines, either.
The original series brought new life to many timeless classics like “Days of Future Past” and “The Dark Phoenix Saga.” Not to mention then-recent arcs like “The Phalanx Covenant.” However, plenty of important X-Men storylines remained untouched. And others have been created in the lengthy time since the original series ended. Which means X-Men ’97 has over six decades of stories to draw upon. And the series has already referenced plenty in varying ways. Some episodes merely draw elements from past stories, while others are closer to outright adaptations.
Bishop was created by John Byrne and Whilce Portacio. The character became an X-Man in comic history shortly after his introduction in 1991’s Uncanny X-Men #282. 80 years in the future, the Xavier Security Enforcement Officer uncovers a time-traveling threat to the X-Men. Bishop believes that threat is coming from his former commander, Trevor Fitzroy. Following Fitzroy to the present day, Bishop teams up with his past heroes to defeat his one-time superior. While the character returned to the future in X-Men ’97, fans still hope to see more of Bishop in the next season.
