History Recap / XMenS1E11DaysOfFuturePastPart1

* TheBigRottenApple: The New York City from TheNineties is only slightly off better off than its future counterpart. When Bishop arrives, there are smashed cars, destroyed buildings and broken windows- it seems NYC was under a recent attack but no explanation is given.

* FallenStatesOfAmerica: If the state of New York City is anything to go by, the USA is [[{{Understatement}}fallen on rough times]].

* HealingFactor: Wolverine still ages, albeit very slowly, in the sixty years into the future. Nimrod also seems to have sort of regeneration capabilities, even after the X-Men tore him apart.

* LargeHam: Storm when she's using her powers.

* MythologyGag: Bishop momentarily forgets his objective after appearing in the present and is only reminded when a group of passing children mention wanting to play their new video game, ''Assassin''. A close-up of the cartridge shows a character who bears a striking resemblance to ''ComicBook/ThePunisher''.

* TheNineties: Obviously as that decade is ThePresentDay.

* OhCrap: Xavier upon reading Bishop's mind and seeing the BadFuture.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Bishop initally thinks he was teletransported but when he sees children playing outside he realizes it worked.

* LaResistance: A various small one operates in the BadFuture, seeking to undoing their dystopian reality through time travel.

* StoryBreakerPower: Wolverine's claws, a {{BFG}}, {{Telekinesis}} and EyeBeams are all [[NoSell no-sold]] by Nimrod. However once Storm unleashes her ElementalPowers to freeze Nimrod and then use electricity and energy blasts to destroy him.

* TemptingFate: When the X-Men track the time portal, Jubilee wonders if anything else came through as well. A second later Nimrod blasts them from behind.

* WhamShot: The episode opens with a close-up on the decaying face of the Statue of Liberty, with one eye gone and the other seeming to shed a tear. Seconds later we get a pan of the ruined Manhattan skyline against a polluted-looking night sky.

* YouKnowTheOne: When Bishop learns Wolverine is going to the past to stop an assassin, he's stopped from saying the assassin's name by Wolverine interrupting him to say he knows who it is.

In the year 2055 Sentinels patrol the ruins of New York City. A couple of mutants are harassed by Sentinels and while they use their powers to destroy a few, they are nearly overwhelmed if not for the timely arrival of an visibly aged Wolverine. But before they can celebrate, a black man with "m" on his face, Bishop, appears in a flying machine. He is a tracker of mutant "rebels" and uses a gun to knockout the trio. Wolverine wakes up inside a container and as he tries to touch the ropes, he's electrified. The black man leads them to a [[FinalSolution Mutant Termination Center]] where the Sentinels informs him that the tracker's services are no longer needed and that all mutants are to be terminated.

The group is lead into the center where they are lead to a cemetery containg the tombstones of the X-Men. Enraged, Wolverine and the other two mutants attack the Sentinels. While they managed to defeat them with aid from Bishop, a more powerful Sentinel called Nimrod appears. The two other mutants decide to stay to serve as distraction while Wolverine and Bishop flee, eventually coming to the hidden lab of a scientist named Forge. It's revealed that the rebels have created a time portal, along with a bracelet ("[[InsistentTerminology temporal transciver]]") which the time travelers are required to keep, because otherwise they will be sent back to their original timeline. Forge says that they must travel to TheNineties to stop an assassination which the rebels believe is the root of the dystopian future.

Bishop however is skeptical, especially when Wolverine reveals that the only way to stop the assassination is by killing the assassin themself. Bishop points out that Wolverine will not be able to kill the assassin and suggests he should go, and the two nearly fight but then the anti-Sentinel alarms go off. Forge suggests that Bishop should go and orders Wolverine to tell him all he needs to know as he prepares the time portal. Forge straps in a temporal transciver on Bishop who jumps into the time portal but then Nimrod, who defeated Wolverine, touches the portal causing Bishop to be transported across time and space.

He appears in a ruined back alley and initially thinks that he was merely teletransported across the city but realizes it worked when he sees children playing outside on daylight. However Bishop seems to suffer from amnesia as he does not remember why he travelled back in time, but thanks to reading the newspapper he decides to go to Charles Xavier.

Rogue and Gambit visit Beast, who's still in prison awaiting for his trial. Gambit questions why Beast remains in prison and seems overall uncomfortable and decides to leave, with Beast opinating that he must deal with his own inner demons. Bishop, still under amnesia, starts to piece the puzzle together that he came back to stop an assassin but he thinks the X-Men are the assassins. Bishop goes to the X-Mansion and attacks the X-Men but in spite of training and being powerful, he's ultimately defeated. Intrigued, Professor X has him moved to war room where he uses Cerebro to look into his mind. The Professor is shocked to find the dystopian future where the world is consumed by darkness.

* CassandraTruth: Bishop scoffs at Wolverine telling him that the Sentinels aim to kill all mutants... only for [[{{Pun}} Old Man Logan]] to be proven right moments later when the Sentinels tell him he's no longer needed.

* HealingFactor: Wolverine still ages, albeit very slowly, in the sixty years into the future. Nimrod also seems to have sort of regeneration capabilities, even after he was torn apart by the X-Men.

* KickTheDog: A minor bit but, in the BadFuture when Wolverine is gazing mournfully at the graves of the X-Men, the Sentinel "escorting" him rudely pushes him and demands he keep moving. This, unsurprisingly, makes him mad enough to [[TheDogBitesBack destroy said sentinel.]]

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Bishop, while retaining most of his memories, does not know why he travelled back in time possibly because of Nimrod's meddling with the time portal.

* NoodleIncident: When discussing who the traitor could be, Jean admits it could be her and says she's had her share of bad days. Given this is ''[[Comic/TheDarkPhoenixSaga Jean]]'' we're talking about, it arguably counts as {{Foreshadowing}} as well.

* ShoutOut: The music during the future scenes sounds a ''lot'' like the main theme from ''Film/TheTerminator'', which is quite fitting considering the similarities between the stories.

* CompositeCharacter: Kitty Pryde's role is here filled by Bishop, presumably as a way of capitalizing on the then-recently introduced character's popularity.

* YouKnowTheOne: When Bishop learns Wolverine is going to the past to stop an assassin, he's stopped by saying the assassin's name by Wolverine interrupting him to say he knows who it is.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: After Bishop captures Wolverine and the other two mutants, the Sentinels tell him his services as a Tracker are no longer required and he will be sent for termination along with the others.

** It's implied that Gambit did a stint in prison - possibly even juvenile detention, judging by his instistence of leaving early during his visit to Beast with Rogue.

* WhamLine: "[[Characters/MarvelComicsGambit YOU!]] You're the reason I've come back!"

* BadassGrandpa: Wolverine is still active in 2055, thanks to his healing factor slowing his aging -- despite having entirely grey hair and some wrinkles he still seems as tough as ever.
