Alpha, Bishop could absorb the energy of the bullet as soon as it touches his skin. Yes, even if the skin is on his head.
You said yourself, if he is caught unaware it won't work. If he could literally absorb anything and everything thrown at him he'd be ranked alot higher.

what could bishop do to doom?
ive never heard bishop being able to absorb any kentetic energy....hmm...i do remember him being totally drained and sitting in the rain absorbing each drops power to power up ...ehh makes sense id guess.
doom can stop time right? a time stopped bishop cant expect much of anything.
a well place foot to the yarbles is all thats needed.
I don't buy this. It's almost as dubious as Doomsday's alleged power.
If he can block anything he's expecting: why not just expect everything all the time? How do we define expecting? Physically anticipating the specific attack? What about a machine gun? Surely he isn't anticipating each bullet, so he's just generally anticipating the attack: again, why not always anticipate everything?
Another case of X-Men upgrading going past the point of credulity I feel.
Unless anyone has a proper explanation of how the power functions.
