Bishop (Earth-Prime)/Android

"I'm the man who's going to save all of humanity."

- Bishop

Dr. Bishop, better known as Bishop 1.0, was an android replica of Bishop, the former owner of AVA Corporation. As the sole survivor of the destruction of Earth, Bishop hoped to prevent similar apocalyptic events from happening once more, Bishop hired Necrians Kayla and Gary Green to kidnap the strongest and the most elite individuals across the galaxy. Eventually, Bishop acquired Earth warrior Sara Lance after Gary's betrayal. Bishop soon successfully created the first hybrid clone for his project, while the cloned Sara Lance refused to work with him and murdered him twice.

However, Bishop was able to preserve his DNA multiple times and uploaded a digital form of himself to his ship before his AVA Clones, Sara and Gary Green destroyed his compound. Fortunately, Kayla successfully retained Bishop's consciousness and uploaded it to the Waverider flesh printer. As a result, Bishop regained a physical body and continued to battle the Legends of Tomorrow with the help of a manipulated John Constantine.

Bishop later destroyed the Fountain of Imperium and led the Earth to lose its first line of extraterrestrial defense. The Legends soon battled the Zaguron forces and regained the Fountain's trust. During the battle, the infant Necrian children of Kayla and Mick Rory hatched from their eggs and devoured Bishop with no trace of him surviving the incident.

Early Life
In 2213, the original Bishop regained his memories of assisting the Legends of Tomorrow against his robot self. He then used billions of dollars recreating the Waverider using a replicated Gideon and blueprints of the vessel. Afterwards, Gideon attempted to keep Bishop's focus on the mission to protect timeline and created Bishop 1.0 to take his place on Earth, giving it the purpose to supposedly prevent a similar apocalypse as the destruction of Earth and programmed a to-do list in his body including kidnapping Sara Lance using Gary Green.

At some point, Bishop spent a week in Ibiza and did not sleep a wink.

Humanity's Best Hope
"The problem with Earth wasn't its finite resources. The problem was man, which is why I am creating a new version of mankind, one with a body that can withstand the harsh conditions of our new home and with a spirit to adapt and thrive under any circumstance."

- Bishop on his hybrids

At some point, Earth was destroyed by humanity. Bishop survived the destruction and fled to Pliny X-19 according to his program, where he hired Kayla and Gary Green to kidnap aliens all across the universe in order to create his own hybrids, which supposedly can prevent any other apocalyptic event. He later lived on the planet with at least 200 clones made to preserve his physical form.

Search for Sara Lance
In 2020, Sara and Gary escaped from Kayla and crashed landed on Pliny X-19. Days later, Bishop sent his AVA Clones in search for Sara Lance and all of the clones were killed by Gary Green. Bishop later sent another AVA Clone disguised as Ava Sharpe and lured Sara to his own ship, where he introduced himself to Sara and offered an "antidote" for the poison injected to her by Amelia Earhart. Bishop soon took care of Sara and ordered Nurse Ava to treat her injuries, while secretly cloned her body and mixed her DNA with an alien.

With Sara recovered from her injuries, Bishop showed her a video presentation created by A/V Ava and informed Sara about the Destruction of Earth and his plan to create a hybrid of humanity and aliens in order to prevent another apocalyptic event. Sara told him that it was a terrible plan, however, to escape, Sara spat a drop of saliva on the ground, giving him DNA sample. Bishop was surprised and informed Sara that he was not trying to take samples, but rather wanted to work with Sara and have her train the hybrids on how to have a warrior personality.

After Sara's successful attempt to ask for Nurse Ava's help to escape, Bishop arrived on Kayla's ship and confronted the both of the, revealing the escape was part of his plan to acquire the DNA samples taken from the Pod Aliens. Sara quickly reacted and defeated all of the clones, eventually ruthlessly snapping Bishop's neck, killing him. Despite her effort, she woke up back on Bishop's ship with Bishop approaching her, without any injuries on his newly cloned body. Bishop quickly explained about his survival and revealed that he was the superior clone with the same memories and personalities. He then commanded the AVA Clones as they surrounded Sara, bringing her back to her room.

New Beginnings
Bishop later observed Sara's movements through a camera in her room until she supposedly changed her mind on joining Bishop's plan. Bishop had doubts but eventually trusted her as he was passionate about achieving his goals. He then gave Sara a dress to wear to a dinner night. During the meal, Bishop informed Sara about Mick Rory's arrival and possible death. Enraged by the bad news, Sara attacked Bishop and knocked him unconscious, moments after he demanded a new beginning for Sara and told her to forget her past as a Legend.

Using Bishop's injured body, Sara was able to enter his lab and discovered a cloning machine in the center of the room. Sara then left Bishop in the lab and attempted to escape, only for Bishop to reveal that her true self has already died from the Zaguron poison, with her corpse being the source of a new clone and the reason that Sara did not retain any scars from the incident.

Bishop explained how he cloned Sara's body as the AVA Clones entered and held Sara 2.0. He then shot himself and activated another clone of himself, dressing up in his blue suit as he slowly presented his plan of creating clones of Sara in order to prevent any apocalyptic events from happening again. As Sara 2.0 did not obey Bishop, he ordered the clones to bring her to the incinerator, not knowing that Gary Green rescued her the moment they left the ship.

Demise
Sara later returned to the ship and questioned Bishop as to how she could become fully human again without any alien DNA. Bishop refused to answer as Sara impaired him, taking the rings of her true self and asked Nurse Ava to create a clone. The injured Bishop then limped to the living room, only to be killed and burnt by Mick Rory's Heat Gun. Lamentably, Bishop started transferring his consciousness into a digital form and taunted Sara at his lab, with Sara kicking the console until it was destroyed. Bishop once again revealed the truth, telling Sara that the process of transferring his consciousness to the cloud had already begun, presenting the choice of leaving for Bishop's demise or staying for a human clone. With Rory trusting Sara 2.0 as his friend, she chose to leave and Gary detonated the chain of bombs, destroying Bishop's ship and compromising his plan to survive in the cloud.

Restoration
Unbeknownst to the Legends, Bishop was able to survive the incident and rescued Kayla from the Zagurons. As a result, Kayla flew Bishop's ship and found the Waverider in space, using the "meat printer" and printed a new body for Bishop. The Legends later returned from a board game, with Sara finding Bishop in the library playing Space Girl on the speakers.

Trivia

 * The character description of Bishop is the following: "A once-in-a-generation genius, Bishop has seen the end of the world, and he thinks he has a way to save it, but despite his purported love of humanity, Bishop isn't great with people. He pretends to be a groovy bon vivant with a taste for cognac and a killer vinyl collection, but in fact, he's a sadistic egomaniac who treats all living creatures — human and alien alike — as his scientific playthings. As a result, the Legends quickly come to realize that Bishop's drive to play god may very well hasten the world's end and it was no accident that Bishop lived to see the world's end. He used his brilliant scientific mind to give himself, well, certain enhancements."
