But is he central to any storyline? Like Bishop...if you kill Bishop you can't do Days of the Future Past.
Just seems like if you need a journalist you can write a new one in.
He eventually figured out DD and Matt are the same guy. He also outed Norman Osborn as the Green Goblin. Sure you could replace him with another reporter but he's got quite a bit of history with the character so why create a new character to do the same stuff.
BTW, Bishop wasn't introduced until almost 10 years after Days of Future Past. He did however, play an integral role in Age of Apocalypse.
