[QUOTE]Originally posted by Woodside Kid: [QB] The character of William Stryker first appeared in the X-Men Graphic novel "God Loves, Man Kills" in 1982. He was a televangelist spouting the line that mutants were inhuman monsters spawned by Satan. The character's backstory told that he was an army Ranger during the nuclear tests in the late 50's and early 60's. He and his wife were in a car crash in the Nevada desert. His wife gave birth after the crash to what Stryker called "a monster." He killed his newborn son and his wife, and then he tried to destroy the bodies (and himself) in an explosion of the leaking gasoline. He survived the explosion, hit rock bottom with drinking, and then had a "revelation" that God had chosen him to lead the fight against mutants. It was a pretty good story, one that Bryan Singer has called an "inspiration" for much of the movie's plot. [/QB][/QUOTE]
