Instead of killing his wife and son in childbirth, the Stryker of the film sends his son (loosely based on the character Mastermind from the comics) to Xavier to be cured of his mutation. In the film, his military background is moved to the foreground, and the religious aspect of the character is eliminated. In a fit of rage, he killed them both and decided that he had been chosen by God to destroy mutants. In that story, Stryker has a military background, but is currently a religious leader whose wife gave birth to an obviously mutant infant. The basic story elements, involving Stryker's plot to use Xavier's powers against all mutants, and the X-Men's resulting alliance with Magneto, are loosely adapted from the graphic novel God Loves, Man Kills by Chris Claremont. The X-Men convinced the President of the truth behind his assassination attempt and persuade him to make a choice: Human- and Mutant-kind working together in peace or destroying each other in a war. However, there is evidence she may return, like she did in the comics, as the Phoenix. Jean Grey sacrifices herself to save Professor Xavier and the other X-Men. While in the facility, Magneto becomes an enemy again and secretly escapes.
He meets another adamantium-laced foe, Lady Deathstrike, and fights her to protect the other mutants who have been imprisoned in a secret facility by Stryker.
In the process, Wolverine learns some of his forgotten past and how his body was enhanced with a superstrong adamantium skeleton. Stryker has created a copy of Professor Xavier's machine Cerebro which, we learn, was invented by then-friends Professor Xavier and Erik Lensherr (Magneto). He is able to control mutants with a powerful drug, and gains control over Professor Xavier through Jason, one of the professor's former students, who is able to project powerful visions in the mind, blinding a person to reality. Stryker has orchestrated the attack on the President to get official approval for his attack on all mutants. Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.Īfter a devastating attempt on the President's life, and the revelation that a mutant was involved, public pressure to ratify the Mutant Registration Act increases, an act which would force all mutants in the nation to publicly declare themselves mutants and dictate the nature of all of their powers to the federal government.Īn attack on Professor Xavier's School for the Gifted (labeled a Mutant training facility by the media), leads to an unlikely alliance with the recently escaped Magneto in a frantic race to stop William Stryker, a military leader with a hatred of mutants, before he can succeed in his plan to destroy all mutants.
