Brian Cox shines in every movie but his portrayal of William Stryker is in my top 3 of characters he's played. It takes talent to portray a mad/ obcessed scientist who is a genius in his field yet equally unhinged and ruthless.

Some of the best worst villains are the cowardly ones like Stryker whose underlings are also victims. He messed with their minds and controlled them like puppets, including his own son and Lady Deathstrike. In my opinion, Storm, Nightcrawler, and Iceman were the highlights of this film. However, I also need to acknowledge Colossus. He's the mutant who can turn his whole body into metal, and he helped the students evacuate the mansion. I’m actually familiar with another version of Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler through a cartoon I grew up watching called X-Men: Evolution. In the series, he was adopted by a German couple when he was just a baby. Years later, he moves to the Xavier Institute as a teenager. He even goes to high school with some of the X-Men.
