Got this idea from Cosmic Cube:

Discuss.

Bishop is extremely underrated.

Bishop absorbed a fully powered blast from Onslaught. It
is specifically said that the blast would have decimated the X-Men.

Hulk can't really hurt him. Bishop would have to be totally unaware to not absorb his punches.

Keep taking in energy, and blasting Hulk. He'll eventually go down,

Interesting.

I thought that Bishop could only absorb energy and not physical contact like punches or kicks.

wait so now bishop can absord kinetic energy also?? so now can basically absord energy attacks as well psyical attacks??

As long as Bishop is conscious, he will absorb any form of energy directed at him. Hulk's limitless strength would work against him.

Then Bishop is pretty much undefeatable. There HAS to be a limit to his power.

In fact, Rogue once used a optic blast against Bishop and overloaded him. She knocked him out.

Yes he can. He did it when the X-Men fought Juggernaut. He has even absorbed psychic energy in the past.

That doesn't make much sense. He can absorb a fully powered Onslaught blast, but an optic blast overloads him? Pfft.

Now my memory may be a little vauge on this matter but if my memory serves me correctly didnt Colossus knock him out right around the time Bishop joined the X-men?

well..... thunderbird has come close to reaching bish's limit, and so has storm on many occasions

Bishop (like almost everyone) has had a secondary mutation since then. He can absorb all energy.

X-Treme X-Men # 12 or 13

read my edit.

I read it. Apparently Bishop was taking in the energy way too fast. That's how it was explained. The Onslaught thing could have been attributed to the fact that it was a very emotionally charged event. It was his destiny to prevent what was going to happen. So he pushed himself beyond his limits.

Now this brings up my next point. Bishop would have to focus on absorbing his punches right? If he has to focus on absorbing the punches how will he be able to focus on fighting the Hulk. I mean come on now absorbing punches from the Hulk seems a little overboard to me.

That's possible. But it shows that he is capable of absorbing unimaginable amounts of energy. It is also evident that he can absorb kinetic energy.

He'd have to overloaded at some point. Eventually he'll lose focus or exert himself.

Night y'all.

Not focus, he must simply be conscious. Bishop doesn't absorb energy while he's asleep, unconscious, etc. It's a subconscious thing. (Note: There is a difference between "subconcious" and "unconcious."

So if I sneak up on Bishop and wack him in the back of the head with a baseball bat he will absorb it and will have no effect by it.

Maybe you meant another issue.

If he didn't know you were intending to hit him, it might work. He has absorbed ambush attacks from behind in the past.

If Bishop is concious, his body subconciously absorbs all energy directed at him. It's an automatic defense mechanism. He doesn't even have to think about it.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm my X-men handbook says differently but I dont like Bishop so it dont really matter. If it is true then he can defeat the Hulk then.

Hulk would probably win by ring out. In one punch.

What year? It's probably outdated.

What does it say?

"Bishop is a mutant with the power to absorb energy, either ambient energy or that directed towards him, and to project that energy from his body in the form of concussive blasts. Bishop can also store absorbed energy within his personal reserves, where upon the energy increases his strength and recuperative abilites, as well as affording him a measure of invulnerablity"

It dont say anthing about kenetic energy or physical contact.

It's a secondary mutation. He has absorbed punches from Juggernaut.

Well if he can absorb punches from Juggernaut than he can take them from the Hulk. What issue did Bishop and Juggernaut fight?

lol I'm sure it wouldn't hurt him, but I don't think the punch would move him.

Once the two fought in the onslaught saga. Right after Juggernaut got punched to Hoboken, NJ by onslaught.
