* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Bizarrely built up as one to Bolivar Trask. Both of them are {{Mad Scientist}}s who experimented and/or tortured mutants, with their actions causing a mutant to attempt to assassinate them, where in a BadFuture said mutant succeeds and causes the apocalypse. The difference lies in that while Trask was a WellIntentionedExtremist who tortured Mystique for the more pragmatic reason of understanding her biology, the Headmaster was merely a racist who viewed mutation like a curse and those afflicted deserved to be tortured. In addition, Trask's assassination was prevented, while the Headmaster ended up being killed by a different party after his initial death was averted.
