Does it work like only Bishop can get stunned (but not allies), but when he travels into the future, it functions like stunning the entire enemy team for 2 turns?

Unless you change the skill to ignore normal 3 tile matches, absorbing only 4 or more tile matches, critical matches, or special attacks. Then, he becomes immensely annoying I'd say this should just absorb the next power attack, not normal board matches or criticals. This way it is more effective by 1) not being easy to sidestep (like your example) and 2) if playing against Bishop, you'd have to remember he used this ability and chances are occasionally you'd forget, go to use your killer power attack and BOOM! it blows up in your face. Some may argue with me, but to me, that's fun!
Juggerlo wrote: I was contemplating the "Only absorb next Power Attack" with that. My reason for not doing it was because it would require the player to pay more attention to the AP levels of the enemy rather than just 'sit and wait' for the next big attack. You know if they have enough to pull a big attack that it will happen before they try their match move, so you can plan to use it accordingly. My opinion is that it forcesthe player to be more strategic with their gameplay.

I realize that the game developers have their own storyline that they're trying to carry out. Feedback forms in this case would be additional clutter although, naturally, it would get to its destination. We all read the forums though, so although we might not post in a given thread there are definitely eyes on it.

Is there any real chance for user demand to even influence additional covers (that aren't already planned)? If I was to guess, I'd say the next 3 to 6 months of covers have already been decided.

We've got some characters mapped out storyline-wise and others that are question marks that we fill in as we move forward. That way we can stay agile if suddenly an opportunity comes up for whatever reason. While we do have the story mapped out for quite a while, not all the newly released characters have storyline impact so we can drop in those others pretty easily.
