I never thought Bishop was evil, He seem to have good intention but used extreme force to get result.

Good intentions pave the road to hell, buddy. The man is a total xenophobe and will stop at nothing to rid the world of "freaks" - including murder, illegal genetic experiments, and faking an alien invasion while endangering the US president's life just to be able to get what he wants. He's more revenge-minded than anything. He got probed by Greys back in the Civil War, so he wants to take it out on all alien-kind.

I'd say he's more misguided/possessed than evil.

I'm with the S on this one. Bishiop is like Demona from Gargoyals where he sees evil in the very thing that wronged him that he doesn't see the evil in what he does in order to "protect" his kind from being victims from the extra teristerials.

Yeah, Bishop is a villain, but the best kind. He's a gray villain. He has motivations for his plans. He's the TMNT equivalent of Magneto or as already stated Demona

Once again it goes back into the territory of what a certain show probably would have and should have covered. They didn't, and dwelling on it is useless. But I still think there was some hanky Panky about Bishop being the future's president....
Oh well, it's all fanfic fodder now.
And I would stifel to say what he's doing is a noble cause. I always felt it self serving, and just to further his own plans than any greater good.
I see him similar to Pretorious in the Mask cartoon. He's a scientist with a moribid curiousity for certain things. He'd destroy the entire world if he had to to prove he's right. Something the alien invasion episode showed us.

An "anti-hero" is a protagonist who isn't completely heroic.
An "anti-villain" is an antagonist who isn't completely villainous.
Anti-heroes usually use immoral means to achieve a noble goal.
Anti-villains usually use noble means to achieve an immoral goal.
Bishop could sorta be considered an anti-villain based on the fact that he is indeed a villain who isn't completely villainous, but his methods match that of an anti-hero better. But it's hard to consider him that since he's an antagonist, not a protagonist.
