Post-Decimation he underwent a rather messy FaceHeelTurn, losing an arm along the way, and now divides his time between time travel, scheming, and attempting to shoot Cable with very large guns. And global scale genocide.

* ArtificialLimbs: Gained a mechanical arm after losing his left arm to the mutant-eating monster Predator X.

* {{Irony}}: Part of the reason he stayed in the [[ComicBookTime 'present'']] was to prevent a member of the X-Men betraying them, only to later turn traitor himself.

* ButNotTooBlack: Bishop has a long, straight hair that doesn't seem right for an African American. However, it was revealed that Bishop isn't of African descent but Australian Aboriginal, most of whom do have straight hair (if different facial structure).
** To be precise, it was revealed that Gateway is his grandfather; in all likelihood Bishop is only part Australian Aborigine.

* DemonicPossession: Recently returned to the present, possessed by the [[ComicBook/NewMutants Demon Bear]].

* FacialMarkings: As he comes from the BadFuture, he has an 'M' (for Mutant) branded on his left face.
* FaceHeelTurn: For a time.

* {{Badass}}: Took on the entire Dark Avengers roster, played them all like a harp, beat the crap out of most of them - while he didn't beat Ares, he stopped his axe with his bare hands and was occupied at the time.
** An immature version - power wise - crushed Holocaust like a bug, beat seven shades of crap out of Apocalypse (and in one alternate reality, used the Molecule Man to liquefy him), took heavy punches from Colossus and Captain Britain and tagged Nightcrawler mid teleport. Then schooled the Abomination without even trying. All of this by the time he was physically seventeen.
** Thereafter racked up numerous feats against Thanos, the Hulk, Hybrid, another version of Apocalypse, Cable, Exodus, evil!Jean Grey, psychic vampire!Madelyn Pryor and Stryfe.
* [[spoiler: BadassNormal]]: After his [[spoiler: depower]].

* BarrierWarrior

* AntiClimax: For years he was convinced Gambit would betray and destroy the X-Men. As it turns out, the culprit in Bishop's future was {{Onslaught}}. The two patched things up with a simple apology from Bishop.

* DemonicPossession: Recently returned to the present, possessed by the [[NewMutants Demon Bear]].

Actually introduced in 1989, Jubilee was intended to do for the new fans of the 1990s what Shadowcat did in the 1980s -- serve as a viewpoint character for teenagers. As such, she became Wolverine's kid sidekick, and spent several years following him around, swinging between sarcastic mockery of his NinetiesAntihero excesses and mortal terror expressed through TotallyRadical dialogue. Then she got transferred to the junior team, Generation X, where over time she became the GeniusDitz team strategist.

When Generation X got cancelled, it all went a bit south for Jubilee; after her own series failed to attract a significant readership and was swiftly retooled into a limited series, she was sidelined, then depowered. She returned for a spell in the (non X-Men) NewWarriors reboot with PoweredArmor, an [[MostCommonSuperpower enormous rack]], and her first proper CodeName (Wondra).

After NewWarriors got cancelled, Jubilee drifted back towards the X-books and now appears to have been turned into a vampire. Given her previous characterization as sunshine and sparkles, fandom in general seems to have come to the conclusion that Vampire Jubilee is potential comedy gold.

Currently one the members of an all female X-Men team in the ComicBook/AdjectivelessXMen.

* AbsurdlyYouthfulParent: Finds and adopts a baby in Europe despite (permanently, due to being a vampire) being 17.
* ACupAngst: Actually drawn to look like a gymnast on a team full of bikini models and she's not happy about it, though she has become progressively curvier.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Jubilee wanted Synch in GenerationX, he wanted Monet (and thinks of Jubilee as a friend).
** She turns Skin down when he asks her out, saying she didn't want to ruin the friendship. [[spoiler: Then the two are crucified. Skin doesn't make it.]]
* AmbiguouslyBi: With X-23. Especially thanks to scenes [[http://i.imgur.com/i1bgT.jpg like]] [[http://i.imgur.com/cppcV.jpg this]].
** She was also remarkably unoffended when !Bling made out with her.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: In her very early appearances, she had short hair and a flat chest that she could be mistaken as an effeminate boy depending on the art.
** On at least two occasions she was required to go undercover as a delivery '''boy'''. Since the other two women on the team were undercover as hot women in slinky dresses, she found this rather annoying.
** In a side-story in Wolverine, she's fully mistaken for a boy by a tribe in the Savage Land and engaged to one of their princesses.
* [[BettyAndVeronica Betty]]: For Synch's Affections.
* BookDumb
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Comes with the Vampire thing.
* BrattyHalfPint
* CaptainEthnic: Only this because of her powers.
* ClassicalAntihero
* CoolBigSis: To X-23, particularly. Although many of the new mutants look up to her. Except for [[{{Jerkass}} Surge]]
* CursedWithAwesome: She no longer has any mutant powers, but she's now a vampire which includes the typical powers of super strength, super speed, {{healing factor}}, the ability to turn into vapor, and is eternally 17. Of course she now has a thirst for human blood and may potentially lose control one day and kill everyone around her. Plus all those silly vampire weaknesses.
* CuteMonsterGirl: Since being turned into a vampire. Her appearances in X-23's solo title under artist Sana Takeda have placed extra emphasis on the "cute".
* EmbarrassingFirstName: She prefers to be called Jubilee.
* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: She suffers from bloodlust but has learned to cope with it.
* GeniusDitz: A lazy academic underachiever who serves as the team [[TheStrategist strategist]].
** "They probably know we're coming, right? So we gotta do what they think we ''won't'' do. They know we know where they are. We know they know we know that. So since they know we know what they probably know, we know what to do."
* GenreSavvy
* GloryDays: Did you know she was an X-Man? She'll never let you forget it.
* HealingFactor: A part of her Vampire powers.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: What Jubilee's original power set ''really'' was, had she ever cut loose and used them to their full potential. See PersonOfMassDestruction below.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Wolverine, being one of his many foster daughters.
* KidAppealCharacter: In the '90s cartoon (and the '90s comics, for that matter), she was basically Wolverine's latest sidekick.
* KidSidekick: She started out as a sidekick of Wolverine, before joining GenerationX.
* LIsForDyslexia: But with math
* TheLancer: To Night Thrasher, after she joined the NewWarriors.
* LethalHarmlessPowers: She could have done so much more with her power, but she was afraid of killing someone.
** The one time she did cut loose with her powers (because she thought Wolverine was dead) she blew up half of The Mandarin's castle!
--->"Did I just do that? And, like, do I want to do it again?"
** She blows up Proudstar Hall in order to defeat Emplate.
*** Her powers tend to be more destructive when she's emotional and unable to focus and control her abilities as well as usual. She's used this to her advantage before. In Genration X, Emma Frost states that Jubes has the potential to detonate matter at a sub-atomic level.
* LittleMissSnarker[=/=]DeadpanSnarker
* MadeOfIron
* MamaBear: Do '''not''' [[https://38.media.tumblr.com/da11de5251e0461ad8e8ec408561c672/tumblr_nbtb2mZcCT1r2qd6xo2_1280.jpg try to take adopted son Shogo!]]
* TheMunchausen: "When I was with the X-Men..."
* MustMakeHerLaugh: A gender-flipped version. She made it her mission to get Bishop to lighten up.
* NaiveNewcomer
* NotAllowedToGrowUp: Supplanted Kitty's role as the token teenaged member of the X-Men. She has since remained a teenager despite the fact that several other characters who were the same age as her have been aged up.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Jubilee has the standard vampire package of fangs, nigh-uncontrollable bloodlust, eternal youth, superhuman strength, durability, and agility, the ability to transform into mist, and a strong aversion to sunlight.
* OutdatedOutfit: Jubilee is the most extreme example of this. Although it's semi-possible as an outfit that a young girl would think is "cool" in the 1980s, the bright yellow trench coat and wrap around sunglasses became just plain painful as the 90s continued. She's since ditched the shorts and T-shirt for a black leather catsuit.
** Particulary in the 90s cartoon series.
* OutOfFocus[=/=]DemotedToExtra: Like many characters born in the '90s, from time to time since the early-2000s.
* PersonalityPowers: A cute, bubbly party girl with the ability to shoot fireworks.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Her original power set certainly seems rather lame on the surface (see WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway), but then you remember what her "pafs" are ''actually'' made of, and Emma Frost once states that should Jubilee exercise her power to its full potential she could detonate matter at the ''sub-atomic'' level. That's right, Jubilee's original powers made her a ''walking fusion bomb''.
* PluckyGirl: Life hasn't been kind to poor Jubilee yet she's arguably one of the most upbeat and optimistic X-Men in spite of it.
* PoweredArmor: She temporarily picked up a suit after losing her powers.
* ThePrankster
* PromotionToParent: By virtue of finding an orphaned infant in Europe that she's now taking care of and names Shogo. She didn't even object to Sublime calling him her son and further issues show that she considers herself to be his mother.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: If she loses control of her bloodlust her eyes glow red.
* RollerbladeGood: In her early appearances, she was a mall rat who got around on rollerblades.
* SarcasticDevotee: Towards Wolverine, for a while in the '90s.
* ShoutOut: She originally wore the yellow trenchcoat with a red shirt and green shorts. Anyone who didn't think "Robin" never read classic Franchise/{{Batman}}.
** This was taken to the logical conclusion in the Amalgam Universe: she becomes Sparrow, side kick to Dark Claw (Batman and Wolverine merged).
* SuperCuteSuperPowers: Jubilee, whose powers have been described as "sparkles" or "fireworks".
* TotallyRadical: She even says "totally like radical" in ''Uncanny X-Men'' #247.
** It's so much worse in Generation X, where pretty much all the teens on the team were guilty of speaking this way.
* WalkingTechbane: Happens in the '90s X-Men cartoon.
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: A very long-standing criticism of Jubilee is how silly and pointless her "fireworks" appear to be on the surface, especially when there are other seemingly ''far'' more powerful mutants on the team. However she actually subverts the trope, as Jubilee deliberately holds back and refuses to utilize her powers to their fullest potential. And it's a good thing, too, because if she ever ''truly'' cut loose [[PersonOfMassDestruction the results could be apocalyptic]].
* YouFightLikeACow: Can give ''Spidey'' a run for his money.
** In one issue of Generation X, she actually defeats Emplate entirely by taunting him.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Despite being for all intents and purposes in his late teens Nate actually is only a few years old due an accelerated aging process by AoA!Mr. Sinister.

Actually introduced in 1989, Jubilee was intended to do for the new fans of the 1990s what Shadowcat did in the 1980s -- serve as a viewpoint character for teenagers. As such, she became Wolverine's scrappy kid sidekick, and spent several years following him around, swinging between sarcastic mockery of his NinetiesAntihero excesses and mortal terror expressed through TotallyRadical dialogue. Then she got transferred to the junior team, Generation X, where she spent some time as the annoying one who won't shut up and then some more time as the GeniusDitz team strategist.

* RollerbladeGood

** She turns Skin down when he asks her out, saying she didn't want to ruin the friendship. [[spoiler: Then the two are crucified. Skin doesn't make it.]]

* PromotionToParent: By virtue of finding an orphaned infant in Europe that she's now taking care of and names Shogo. She didn't even object to Sublime calling him her son and further issues show that she is, 100%, his mother.
