Bishop vs Albert Wesker

Okay, tonight we're diving back into a rugged rematch between the world's of the X-Men and video games.

First off, we have Bishop.

Lucas Bishop is a mutant with the ability to absorb and redirect energy.

As a member of an alternative future Earth, Bishop often does time travel as a member of Xavier's security enforcers, who later would go on to join the X-Men, and his presence in a story typically meant that business was about to pick up.

Bishop was created by Wills Patorsi and John Byrne and first appeared in the Uncanny X-Men 282 in 1991.

Side note, not even in our text here.

His character image was inspired by a picture of Gary Coleman featured on the Electric Company magazine.

Yeah, I found that randomly while I was trying to figure out how to say Wills Patorsi.

So yeah, go look for that.

It's spot on.

It's not just like, oh, he's got overalls and a bandana.

It's the shirt.

It's everything.

All right, on the video game side of things, we have Albert Wesker.

Wesker is one of the original main antagonists of the Resident Evil video game series.

Both a genius virologist as well as the captain of the S.T.A.R.S. team, Wesker underwent several transformations as the series went on, going from Traitor to Mastermind to Super Enhanced Being to Complete Monster.

Wesker was created by Shinji Makami and Aseo Ohishi and first appeared in the original Resident Evil game back in 1996.

Ernie, your opponent tonight, also has a lot in common with these characters.

Not that he was created in the 90s, but it has been argued that he peaked there.

It's Ray Stakenas.

Ray, are you ready for another round of X-Men vs.

Video Games?

I peaked in the 90s? How did you see inside my soul so deeply, Sam Proop? Look...

Am I ready for X-Men versus video games? I was born ready for X-Men versus video games.

And Sam Proof, I want you right now.
