* [[Michael Reid McKay]] portrayed Jason Stryker/Jason 143 in ''[[X2 (film)|X2]]''. This version is a [[Mutant (Marvel Comics)|mutant]] who has the ability to cast illusions as well as heterchromia (different color eyes from each other). Prior to the film's events, he tortured his parents by planting telepathic illusions in their minds until Jason's mother committed suicide by drilling into her own brain. [[William Stryker]] sent his son to the [[X-Mansion|Xavier institute]] in hopes of curing which only angered his father more. Stryker then gave his son a [[lobotomy]] to make him more docile, and derived a substance from Jason's living body that can be used to control the minds of mutants. As an adult, Jason was bound to a wheelchair and mute, and is used by his own father to make a secretion from his son's brain to inject into other mutants to control. Stryker's control over his son was powerful; all that needed to be done is whisper commands to Jason and the action would follow without question. He uses telepathic illusionary powers to appear as a little girl (played by [[Keely Purvis]]) and is strong enough to convince [[Professor X]]avier of using [[Cerebro]] back at the mansion. The little girl illusion has Xavier to locate 'all the mutants' around the world via Cerebro. When the X-Men began their assault on Stryker's secret lair at Alkali Lake, Stryker commands Jason to use the illusion to urge Xavier to find and kill all the mutants. However, [[Mystique (comics)|Mystique]] (impersonating William Stryker) later commands Jason to change the target to all the humans. Jason was last seen inside the replica Cerebro chamber and was left to drown when the Weapon X underground complex was flooded by Alkali Lake. |
