Read more about William Stryker at: Wikipedia Official Site: Marvel Comics Col. William "Bill" Stryker, M.D. is a fictional comic book supervillain in the Marvel Comics universe, and enemy of the X-Men. Created by writer Chris Claremont and artist Brent Anderson, he first appeared in the 1982 graphic novel X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills. Rev. Stryker is a Christian fundamentalist televangelist who sees himself on a mission from God to destroy the mutant race. In the film X2, Stryker is played by Brian Cox as an army colonel with a fervent desire to destroy mutants. Danny Huston portrays Stryker in the superhero prequel movie, X-Men Origins: Wolverine in which he is the villainous leader of the Weapon X project. In 2009, Stryker was named IGN's 70th Greatest Villain of All Time. Stryker is a religious fanatic, with a military history which may have involved the Weapon X project (the same project which results in Wolverine being given his adamantium skeleton). Stryker is characterized by his unequivocal hatred of mutants. So strong is this hatred that Stryker goes so far as to kill his own wife and mutant-born son immediately after his birth. Crazed and outraged, Stryker then makes a failed suicide attempt. As time passes, he becomes convinced Satan has a plot to destroy humankind by corrupting prenatal souls, the result of this corruption being mutants. Additionally, Stryker eventually comes to see the birth of his mutant son as a sign from God, directing him to his true calling: ensuring the eradication of all mutants.
