Colonel William "Bill" Stryker, M.D. is a fictional comic book supervillain in the Marvel Comics universe, and enemy of the X-Men.
In the film X2, Stryker is played by Brian Cox as a U.S. Army Colonel with a fervent desire to harvest mutants for weapons to take down potential mutant threats, such as Magneto. Danny Hustonportrays Stryker in the superhero prequel movie, X-Men Origins: Wolverine in which he is the villainous leader of the Weapon X project. Josh Helman portrays a much younger Stryker in X-Men Days of Future Past. In 2009, Stryker was named IGN's 70th Greatest Villain of All Time.[1] The story prior to his recent reappearing formed the partial basis for the film, X2. Stryker is the main antagonist, and he is played by Scottish actor Brian Cox. His military background from the comics is expanded in the film, Stryker is said to be a military scientist who has gone intodefense contracting, but in a reference to his comics' counterpart, several lines of his hint at a belief that he destined to eradicate "mutant threats" and that he has been ordained by God to do so. Stryker returns in the film X-Men Origins: Wolverine, again as the main antagonist, set roughly fifteen years before X-Men according to what Professor Xavier tells Wolverine in X-Men, portrayed by Danny Huston. This is a younger version of Stryker. Huston liked the complex Stryker, who "both loves and hates mutants because his son was a mutant and drove his wife to suicide. So he understands what they're going through, but despises their [destructive] force." William Stryker Sr. plays a minor role in X-Men: First Class played by Don Creech. He appears as a CIA agent set in the 1960s discussing the existence of mutants with Charles Xavier. Stryker Sr., like his son, has anti mutant beliefs. - Josh Helman is set to portray a young William Stryker in X-Men: Days of Future Past. [18]
