Bishop's police training has directed him to approach mutant-human relations under a law-enforcement approach, joining the X-Treme X-Men, Storm's X.S.E., and O*N*E*, and by acting as a peacekeeper in Mutant Town. In an unexpected turn of events, Bishop betrayed the X-Men following the birth of Hope, the mutant messiah who was claimed to have caused his world to systematically persecute mutants. After hunting Hope for years, Bishop has eventually met his redemption by regretting his actions.
