Lol. I remember thinking this issue and Maggot were so cool looking. I even drew him between classes but back then. Sadly he was never anything more than a cool looking character.
Out of the three new X-Men characters that appeared during that time (Maggot, Marrow and Cecilia Reyes), I always preferred Maggot’s design the best, unfortunately it seem neither of them went on to become popular at all or long lasting X-Men members.
I don't know that much about the future that Bishop comes from. Is it possible that written records were so rare when he was growing up that he developed a reflexive horror at the thought of them being destroyed forever?

Yes, none of them landed with readers/fans, not like Gambit, Cable, or Bishop 6 years earlier.

I think that’s a good way to explain it, John. Records in Bishop’s era are spotty and thus coveted.
