Added DiffLines:

* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Aside from demonstrating abnormal strength and reflexes, he's also much tougher than a normal human, taking injuries that would cripple a normal person and being able to fight without hindrance, including a stab to the leg that should render him unable to walk and a blade through the shoulder that should have paralyzed that arm.


Added DiffLines:

* SuperReflexes: One of the powers he gained while in Weapon X, to the point that he can easily keep up with Wade in a sword fight and even dodge bullets while riding a motorcycle.

* NotAfraidToDie: Due to not having much of a capacity for feeling emotions he doesn't appear to be all that worried about the prospect of dying even though he will avoid it if there's a way out. In fact [[spoiler:when he's at Deadpool's mercy he just mocks him one last time and when Colusses tries to give a stereoypical [[KirkSummation "Be a Hero"]] speech to convince Deadpool to [[SaveTheVillain spare Ajax]] he seems mildly annoyed by it and fully aware that Deadpool is about to kill him anyways.]]

* DisproportionateRetribution: He leaves Wade in the oxygen deprivation chamber even after Wade has manifested the mutation he was trying to trigger, "Not because I need to. Because I want to." His main motive seems to be annoyance at Wade's constant snark.



* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Ajax walks in Wade's room, tells him he ''could'' speak in euphemisms ("This may hurt", "take a deep breath", etc.), but since he's completely insentive (both [[TheSociopath emotionally]] and [[FeelNoPain physically]]) he doesn't really give a crap, so he just says what he'll actually do: Torture Wade mercilessly until his healing factor works. Then he proceeds to do exactly that.

* AcePilot: During the Vietnam War, he's helicopter pilot and flew many Black Ops missions into the jungles of North Vietnam. [[spoiler:Ten years later, he also escapes Logan's rampage in Alkali Lake Facility by helicopter.]]
* ButtMonkey: Despite his prominence in the overarching franchise (and his role as TheDragon to Trask), he suffers the most injuries and beatdowns out of anyone in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', including being blasted by Havok in the opening scene, being tasered after Mystique's failed assassination of Trask, and being beaten again when Nixon and his team discover Mystique is in the room with them. It's really no wonder he seems to hate mutants so much later on, when he spends all of his screen time in this one getting his ass beaten by them.
* DirtyCoward: [[spoiler:In ''Apocalypse'', when Logan is set free by Jean and starts slaughtering the soldiers at Alkali Lake, Stryker loses his nerve and abandons his team to escape the base.]]

He even says he doesn't hate them, just that he knows what they can do and that they should be prepared for it and he expresses surprised amusement at Trask's apparent FantasticRacism.
* {{Hunk}}: He's quite buff as a young man.
* InTheBlood: His father, as shown in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', was a high ranking CIA agent and also hated mutants once he saw what they could do.
* InspectorJavert: Oddly enough, Stryker plays this role in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''. [[spoiler:After Apocalypse took control of Charles' mind and ordered him to control the nuclear missile controllers and send the missiles into space, Stryker tracks the signal to the X-Mansion and mistakenly believes that Xavier is actually the one who's behind it. So he leads a special forces to raid it and capture some key mutants to interrogate them about Charles' whereabouts.]]

* RankUp: Was a major in ''Days of Future Past''. In ''Apocalypse'', he has become a colonel.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Surprisingly presented as one in ''Apocalypse'' compared to his previous depictions in the franchise. He only abducts Raven, Peter, Moira and Hank so that he could question them about a cataclysmic psychic event that seemingly originated from the X-Mansion, and leaves behind the innocent students of the school (unlike his visit in ''Film/X2XMenUnited''). [[spoiler:Then again, he did torture and brainwash Logan into becoming Weapon X in this continuity as well.]]
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Stryker wastes no time getting himself out of Alkali Lake's base [[spoiler:after Wolverine/Weapon X gets loose]].
* VillainExitStageLeft: [[spoiler:As Wolverine is let loose on the Alkali Lake facility, Stryker is shown to already be on his way out by helicopter in ''Apocalypse''.]]

->'''Played By:''' Ed Skrein

->''"The only thing that never survives this place is a sense of humor."''

A MadScientist performing illegal experiments designed to give normal humans mutant abilities such as SuperStrength, a HealingFactor, and so on.
----
* AdaptationalIntelligence: In the comics he is just a sadistic security chief, here he is also a scientist.
* AdaptationalNationality: He is English instead of American like his comic book counterpart.
* AlliterativeName: His real name, '''Fr'''ancis '''Fr'''eeman.
* AnAxeToGrind: Pulls out two of them for the final fight, since he knows Deadpool can regenerate from explosions and small wounds such as bullet wounds, so Francis figures chopping the limbs off clean is a more efficient way to disable him.
* AssholeVictim: The tears that were shed when this bastard bit it were hopefully either non-existent or of [[TearsOfJoy joy]].
* AtrociousAlias: Of sorts. Ajax was one of ancient Greece's greatest warriors, mostly known for his feats in [[Literature/TheIliad the Trojan War]]... but nowadays it's mostly known as a brand of cleaning products, something Wade will not let him forget (when he's not just calling him Francis).
-->'''Wade:''' He got his name from a dish soap!
* AxCrazy: This guy commits horrifying experiments on people ForTheEvulz. He's a rare example of a ''calm'' AxCrazy, in that while he's extremely violent and sadistic, he tends to remain entirely calm and composed during it.
* BadassBiker: Spends most of the freeway shootout driving a motorcycle.
* BaldOfEvil: Ajax has shaved his head bald.
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: He went through the torture gauntlet as a subject before he became the operator. From what he tells Wade, it's likely that the process broke him.
* BerserkButton: He doesn't flip out over it like most examples, but his facial expressions and CatchPhrase makes it clear that he hates being called Francis.
* BigBad: He's the one responsible for Wade Wilson's scarring and insanity, and also wants to hunt Wade down for destroying his facilities and reneging on their deal.
* BlessedWithSuck: Tells Wade that he gained enhanced reflexes from his procedure, but the tradeoff was that all of his nerve endings were burnt out, preventing him from feeling pain, or ''anything'' for that matter, including emotion.
* BoomHeadshot: Wade puts a bullet in his head at the end of the film.
* BossInMookClothing: During the highway fight, Ajax is disguised as one of the convoy's bikers. Wade ignore him as just another mook, though he is more competent at dodging Wade's attacks than the other mooks.
* CatchPhrase: "What's my name?"
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: His lack of pain sensors and enhanced reflexes allow him to be strong enough to NeckLift and take punishment he shouldn't be able to shrug off just because he feels no pain.
* ChekhovsGunman: A variant; he also appears in the trailers as the biker who puts a hole in Deadpool's arm.
* CompositeCharacter: Has some things in common with Dr. Killebrew by being the surgeon responsible for Wade's condition.
* DefiantToTheEnd: When he's finally under Deadpool's mercy, [[spoiler:he [[DidYouActuallyBelieve taunts him]] with the fact that his scars are uncurable, despite knowing that the prospect of a cure is the ''only'' reason Deadpool's even considering keeping him alive]].
* DoNotCallMePaul: Wade learns that the quickest way to get under Ajax's skin is to call him Francis. He spends the entire film trying to get Deadpool to refer to him as Ajax.
* DullSurprise: Purposefully. Ajax is (as he himself tells Wade) emotionally dead inside, so his delivery of practically everything is stuck on DullSurprise.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Ajax walks in Wade's room, tells him he ''could'' speak in euphemisms ("This may hurt", "take a deep breath", etc.), but since he's completely insentive (both [[TheSociopath emotionally]] and [[FeelNoPain physically]]) he doesn't really give a crap, so he just says what he'll actually do: Torture Wade mercilessly until his healing factor works. Then he proceeds to do exactly that.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: PlayedForLaughs in the end credits when Deadpool has a "He's the hottest" thought balloon while his actor's name was shown.
* EvilBrit: He has an English accent, and he's the first example of a British BigBad in the movie series. He's even credited as "British Villain".
* EvilCounterpart: To Deadpool. Both of them have undergone human mutant experiments that have granted amazing abilities, such as not feeling pain. They each go by aliases, with their real names being alliterative. However, while Wade may initially look insane, he's actually a NiceGuy (who just happens to be psychotic); Ajax may look and sound like a sane man, but he's an AxCrazy sociopath with no redeemable qualities.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumour: He sometimes tries making jokes at Pool's expense, but they're all unfunny and cruel, particularly because his emotionally stunted delivery ruins the timing.
* EvilIsPetty: He makes a point of being ''especially'' cruel to Wade for no adequate reason other than the fact Pool keeps making jokes ([[BerserkButton and calling him Francis]]). After finding a method of torture that finally triggers Wade's dormant mutant genes, he decides to torture Wade some more, just because he can.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler: Ajax doesn't flinch at the prospect of Deadpool killing him.]]
* FamousLastWords: [[spoiler: When Deadpool questions him for some, he says his CatchPhrase: "What's my name?"]]
* {{Faux Affably Evil}}: Ajax can be chatty and snarky from time to time, but it's nothing more than a facade. He can even keep up his act while torturing people.
* FeelNoPain: One of his abilities is feeling absolutely no pain. It serves as a bit of a counter to Pool's powers, which allow him to heal, but he feels every strike, while Ajax doesn't heal but can feel nothing.
* ForTheEvulz: "I'm not putting you back in this thing because I have to, it's because I want to."
* {{Genius Bruiser}}: Ajax is simultaneously a brilliant scientist, the head of the program that develops superheroes and a ruthless fighter who goes toe-to-toe with Deadpool.
* HateSink: A rare BigBad example, but this guy has to be one of the most disgusting human beings ever put to film, and it is hard not to cheer when ''anything'' bad happens to him.
* HealingFactor: He has one, but it is nowhere as strong as Deadpool's. A fact he laments after escaping a thorough beating at the hands of the latter.
* HotGuysAreBastards: He's played by Ed Skrein, looks like he could've stepped off a Paris runway, and is thoroughly loathsome. The credits lampshade it:
-->'''Cartoon!Deadpool:''' He's the hottest!
* ILied: First as to making Wade a "superhero" and again when he claims that [[spoiler:he can fix his mutated face.]]
* ImplacableMan: Since he feels nothing, it's very hard to put him down.
* IronicName: Mr. Freeman holds many prisoners as lab experiments. After giving them superpowers, he sells them into slavery.
* {{Jerkass}}: Not only is he evil, he's also a dick.
%%* JerkWithTheHeartOfAJerk
* KnightOfCerebus: While the film is DenserAndWackier, Ajax is played dangerously straight. Whenever he starts taking direct action things begin to get noticeably darker.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: When Angel throat lifts Weasel and every man in the BadGuyBar draws their guns, Ajax logically tells her to back down.
* LackOfEmpathy: The procedure that gave him the power of [[FeelNoPain immunity to pain]] and SuperReflexes also left him incapable of feeling empathy for other people.
* LightningBruiser: Has enhanced reflexes which lets him dominate Wade and he's strong enough to easily bend steel rebar. He's also MadeOfIron and can FeelNoPain, so even slowing him down if you do manage to hit him is pretty unlikely.
* LineOfSightName: Ajax comes from the dish cleaner, at least according to Wade.
* MadScientist: He performs illegal experiments on humans to grant them superhuman abilities, ones that don't always work correctly.
* MadeOfIron: He feels no pain which keeps him fighting, but pain or not, he should be completely hobbled way earlier than he is. He's just that tough. It takes a lot of beating to get knocked down. [[spoiler:And to die, a BoomHeadshot is enough.]]
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: As a result of feeling no pain, he reacts very casually to things like being impaled by a katana.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Falls for Wade's "made you look," and took the name Ajax because he was apparently embarrassed by his real name, Francis.
* NotSoStoic: Justified. Getting hit by a cargo container isn't something you don't react to, even if you can't feel it.
* PetTheDog: His friendliness towards Angel Dust may be a subversion, as he claims he [[TheSociopath can't feel anything for anyone]], and is only friendly towards her because of her temper, and superior strength.
* TheSociopath: He observes that he can't feel anything both in the sense of not feeling any pain and in the sense of feeling no emotional response. Deadpool even calls him a psychopath.
* TheStoic: Because he [[TheSociopath can't feel any emotions]].
* TortureTechnician: Oh he's utterly ruthless when it comes to causing pain.
* VillainousFriendship: Ajax seems to be legitimately friendly with Angel Dust and the feeling seems mutual, however see PetTheDog above.

Ajax's lab assistant and second in command.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: In the comics, Angel Dust's SuperStrength [[StrongAsTheyNeedToBe varies wildly,]] but typically tops out around [[Franchise/SpiderMan Spider-Man-level]]. In the film, she is powerful enough to go toe-to-toe with ''Colossus.''
* AdaptationalCurves: Angel Dust is [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/7/7b/Angel_Dust_(Earth-616)_from_Morlocks_Vol_1_1.JPG/revision/latest?cb=20130805013835 flat-chested]] and overall rather plain, compared to Gina Carano's [[http://www.lapsitting.org/images/ginacarano/3.jpg proportions]].
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the books Angel Dust, one of the Morlocks, is very much a hero. She's a villain working for the project which creates Deadpool in the film.
* AllThereInTheManual: Her full nickname (Angel Dust) is never stated in the film, as Ajax just calls her "Angel". Her real name (Christine) is also never said.
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Rarely changes her expression from a scowl.
* AmazonianBeauty: She ''is'' played by Gina Carano, after all. Deadpool seems to disagree, but during the WardrobeMalfunction, Colossus calls her a "beautiful lady".
* BoobsOfSteel: The physically strongest woman of the movie, and also the one with most cleavage.
* BrawnHilda: Deadpool always refers to her in mockingly masculine terms.
* CharacterTics: The matchstick in her mouth, as pegged by Deadpool.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Inverted, actually. The movie only calls her by her codename (Angel Dust, or more specifically, Angel), never by her real name.
* DarkActionGirl: When she throws down, she summarily bashes ''Colossus'' across the room, [[spoiler:and is winning until Negasonic Teenage Warhead steps in]].
* DefeatByModesty: Inverted. Her left breast gets exposed during her fight with Colossus, who is kind enough to pause the battle and let her readjust her top. And then she uses the opportunity to sucker punch him [[GroinAttack right in the bits]].
* TheDragon: Serves as BigBad Ajax's right hand woman.
* HairTriggerTemper: Though Ajax always holds her back, she's ''very'' easy to provoke.
* IronicName: Despite her first name being "Angel," she is definitely ''not'' one.
* LightningBruiser: She's rather quick when she wants to be and is a skilled martial artist. She also has enough strength to match well against Colossus and tough enough to soak a good number of his attacks.
* MsFanservice: Even if her WardrobeMalfunction gets a scenery censor.
* OralFixation: Frequently seen with a match in her mouth. [[spoiler:Wade stealing one proves instrumental in his escape.]]
* TheQuietOne: Doesn't speak all that much.
* TheStoic: Rarely emotes in any way.
* SuperStrength: Has the ability to control her adrenaline levels, giving her a resistance to pain and temporary superhuman strength.
* UnexpectedCharacter: She is an ''extremely'' obscure character in the comics with no connection to Deadpool, but she appears in his spin-off movie.
* VillainousFriendship: She seems to get along surprisingly well with Ajax.
* WardrobeMalfunction: Her top slides off a bit during her fight with Colossus, who points it out and gives her a moment to readjust. She takes the opportunity to thank him and then punches him in the groin.
* WouldHurtAChild: In a deleted scene, [[spoiler:she pins Teenage Negasonic Warhead to the ground tries to punch TNW's head in. The latter's counter attack was what totaled the carrier.]]

----
* AssholeVictim: As the man who manipulated Wade into ruining his own life, when Deadpool finally gets his hands on him, it is immensely satisfying.
* CelebrityResemblance: Apparently for Creator/HugoWeaving.
* ColdBloodedTorture: What Deadpool does to him during his RoaringRampageOfRevenge.
* DealWithTheDevil: Offers to cure Wade of his cancer and make him a superhero in exchange for Wade working for his organization.
* DirtyCoward: ''Immediately'' runs when Deadpool confronts him, and folds like wet paper and (again) also immediately tries to reveal the location of his boss to save his own skin. Wade gives him some ColdBloodedTorture anyway.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Speaks politely to Wade while manipulating him into making a decision that will ruin his life.
* GoryDiscretionShot: Deadpool turns the camera away from the scene of him being tortured to death, saying that the audience doesn't want to see this.
* InSeriesNickname: Wade refers to him as "[[Franchise/TheMatrix Agent Smith]]". He also calls him "Jared", after the former Subway spokesman who was arrested for child pornography.
* KickTheDog: The Recruiter's entire job is to track down terminally ill or otherwise desperate former soldiers and trick them into becoming human guinea pigs.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: When confronted by an angry Deadpool, the Recruiter is more than willing to spill everything he knows about Francis and the operation. Unfortunately for the Recruiter, Deadpool decides to torture him ForTheLulz.
* TheMenInBlack: Obviously goes to the same tailor, which causes Deadpool to name him "[[Franchise/TheMatrix Agent Smith]]" for the duration of the movie.
* ObviouslyEvil: His black suit, creepy grin and vague promises do not inspire trust. Wade begins making quips about him being a sex offender immediately after meeting him.
* PaedoHunt: Wade constantly jokes that his ObviouslyEvil mannerisms equate him to a pedophile (his behavior being not unlike a CreepyUncle).
