In other media

Films

• In X2: X-Men United, the character appeared as a minor antagonist role in the live-action movie where he was portrayed by actor Michael Reid McKay. This version was created as a mixture between Jason Stryker and Mastermind where he was the illusion casting Mutant son of William Stryker. Jason was stated to had tortured his parents by planting telepathic illusions in their minds until his mother committed suicide by drilling into her own brain. In the aftermath, William Stryker sent his son to Professor Xavier's Institute in the hope to get him cured but was angered when the boy was returned as Charles taught Mutants to accept their powers. William then proceeded to give his son a lobotomy to make him more docile and later determined that Jason's body secret a substance that could be used to gain control of another person. The now wheelchair bound and mute Jason was given the designation of Mutant 143 by his father and was used for his operation against Mutants. Jason by this point was completely subservient to his father's wishes and aided him in his endeavors as he sought to eliminate Mutants. His father later staged a military strike to abduct Charles Xavier from his mansion and take his Cerebro machine with a replica made at Stryker's Alkali Lake facility. Once there, William used Jason's powers to make him appear as a young Mutant little girl to convince Xavier to find Mutants through Cerebro with Charles unaware that he had been manipulated to find and kill his kind around the world. Mystique later took on William's likeness and made Jason change the command to kill all humans around the world. Jason was still in the replica Cerebro chamber when the facility was flooded by Alkali Lake with him being presumably killed as a result.

Video games

• In X-Men: The Official Game, Jason Stryker appeared in the video game tie-in that followed the events of X2. Whilst at Alkali Lake, visions of Jason plagued the mind of Nightcrawler with Stryker noting that the X-Men had left him to die. Xavier revealed that Jason was still alive but his psyche was fractured into two parts with one appearing as a good version that guided Nightcrawler and the other being an evil version that was controlling Master Mold. The good half of him worked to help the X-Men stop the activated Master Mold. When Magneto entered into the battle, he managed to stop the Master Mold but he lost his helmet leading to him being subdued by the evil half of Jason. During the fight, Sabretooth captures Jason and escapes with him until he was recovered with Stryker ultimately dying but not before thanking Nightcrawler and the X-Men for rescuing him.
