Alternate Versions
- In Age of Apocalypse (2005), an alternate version of William Stryker was shown in this parallel reality. He was shown to had been raised by a preacher who cared for him and other children after Mutants slaughtered most of their town with his own father killed by other surviving humans. As a result, Stryker grew up to learn to live in hiding and accepted kindness from both humans as well as Mutants. By his adulthood, he took on the identity of Prophet and worked alongside a group of human survivors known as the X-Terminated that sought to avenge mankind. Among his acts was breaking into the apartment of a Mutant named Krakken that built ovens to incinerate humans and though he killed his target he did not harm the person's family.
- In Ultimate X-Men v1 #98 (2009), a version of the character was shown to reside in the Marvel Ultimate universe where he was known as William Stryker, Jr. He was the son of Admiral William Stryker, Snr. where he married a woman named Kate with the pair having a son named John. William became a reverend who lived with his family in Manhattan when the Ultimatum Wave struck New York. This event saw the death of his family with William being the only survivor. In the aftermath, he attempted to lead a congregation in prayer but was unable to do so as he was still in grief. During this time, he learnt from a group that the Mutant Magneto was responsible for the Ultimatum Wave and they encouraged Stryker's hatred in all Mutants. They later led him to a cache of armaments from destroyed Sentinels which William Stryker used to create an anti-Mutant militia.
