In the comics, William Stryker is a religious fanatic and televangelist with a military past, and an unequivocal hatred of mutants. He committed hate crimes against mutants as a leader to his secret paramilitary group, the Purifiers. His comic book debut "God Loves, Man Kills" was a main inspiration for X-Men 2 (2003). However, this was taken out of the films to avoid religious controversy. Instead, this film, as with X2, borrows elements from Henry Peter Gyrich (also a ruthless government official) and Professor André Thorton (the one in charge of the Weapon X project in the comics).
