History Characters / XMenFilmSeriesWeaponXNewTimeline

* DemotedToDragon: After serving as the BigBad in two movies, William Stryker is Dr. Bolivar Trask's second-in-command.

* UnexpectedCharacter: She is an ''extremely'' obscure character in the comics with no connection to Deadpool, but she appears in his spin-off movie.

* HateSink: He is a high ranking member of the Weapon X program and the one responsible for Deadpool's creation. Under the guise of making those that come under his care "superheroes," he subjects them to weeks of torture to awaken their mutant gene before selling them off to the highest bidder. Kidnapping Vanessa and locking her in an oxygen chamber, he laughs maliciously, revealing that there was no cure for Deadpool's transformation.

* {{Jerkass}}: Not only is he evil, he's also a dick.

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: After spending his time psychologically and physically torturing mutants like Wolverine, its satisfying to see what misfortunes come to him]]

* ForTheEvulz: Even after Wade gains his powers, and there is no need to put him back in the asphyxiation device, Ajax puts him back in the machine solely out of spite.

* AdaptationalWimp: The Ajax from the comics can wipe the floor with Deadpool in head on confrontation, while the one from the movie is roughly his equal in fighting.

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Despite his skillset is described as only enhanced reflexes and lack of pain sensors, he is strong enough to NeckLift a man his own size and tough enough to fight through punishment he shouldn't be able to shrug off just because he feels no pain. The only real explanation is that his reflex power includes an extended form of UninhibitedMusclePower as a side effect, but that still doesn't explain all of it: it rather implies he's really that tough.

* InformedAttribute: The abilities he shows through the film don't fit easily their official description, which amounts to super reflexes and immunity to pain. For instance, he proves to have either SuperToughness or a mild HealingFactor (the guy literally ignores wounds that would cripple or kill any man, with or without pain), while in turn his reflexes are hardly extraordinary (he's not much better at hand-to-hand fighting than Wade, who is mostly just a well-trained human). Those oddities are never touched upon, not even by Wade, who loves to point signs of lazy writing in his movies and would have had a field day with them.

* MadeOfIron: He feels no pain which keeps him fighting, but pain or not, he should be completely hobbled way earlier than he is. It takes a lot of beating to get knocked down, although [[spoiler:to kill him a BoomHeadshot is enough.]]
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: As a result of feeling no pain, he reacts very casually to things like being impaled by a katana.

* SuperStrength: Although he doesn't mention it among the combo of superpowers granted by his mutation, Ajax is clearly much stronger than a normal human, bending a thick iron bar with his bare hands or sending Deadpool flying through crates with a mere punch.

* ForTheEvulz: Even after Wade gains his powers, and there is no need to put him back in the suffocation machine, Ajax puts him back in the machine solely out of spite.

* ForTheEvulz: "I'm not putting you back in this thing because I have to, it's because I want to."

* VillainousValor: He puts up a good fight against Deadpool, and unlike a certain henchman of his, stubbornly refuses to beg Deadpool for Mercy, and refuses it when offered, instead taunting the latter until he kills him.

* AdaptationSpeciesChange: In the comic books, Ajax is a cyborg, not a mutant, and he lacks pain receptors because they were deliberately removed.

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Despite his skillset is described as just enhanced reflexes and lack of pain sensors, he is strong enough to NeckLift a man his own size and tough enough to keep fighting through punishment he shouldn't be able to shrug off just because he feels no pain. The only real explanation is that his reflex power includes an extended form of UninhibitedMusclePower as a side effect, but that still doesn't explain all of it, rather implying he's really that tough.

* HealingFactor: He laments, after escaping a thorough beating at the hands of Deadpool, that he doesn't have one like him. That said, Ajax's unnatural ability to ignore incapacitate wounds implies he must have some form of healing ability and/or enhanced touhgness.

* InformedAttribute: The abilities he shows through the film don't fit easily their official description of being just super reflexes and immunity to pain. For instance, he proves to have either SuperToughness or a mild HealingFactor (the guy literally ignores wounds that would cripple or kill any man, with or without pain), while in turn his reflexes are hardly extraordinary (he's not much better at hand-to-hand fighting than Wade, who is mostly just a well-trained human). Those oddities are never touched upon, not even by Wade, who loves to point signs of lazy writing in his movies ad would have had a field day with it.

* 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 Colossus tries to give a stereotypical [[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.]]

** 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.

* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Aside from demonstrating abnormal strength and reflexes, he's also much tougher than a normal human, as he takes injuries that would cripple a normal person and is 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).

* WouldHurtAChild: In a deleted scene, [[spoiler:she pins Teenage Negasonic Warhead to the ground and tries to punch her head in. The latter's counter attack was what totalled the carrier.]]

* 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.

* AdaptationalWimp: In the comic books, Ajax is a cyborg and can wipe the floor with Deadpool in head on confrontation. In the movie, his powers are supposedly immunity to pain and enhances reflexes.

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Despite his skillset is described as just enhanced reflexes and lack of pain sensors, he is strong enough to NeckLift a man his own size and tough enough to keep fighting through punishment he shouldn't be able to shrug off just because he feels no pain. The only real explanation is that his reflex power includes an extended form of UninhibitedMusclePower as a side effect, but that still doesn't explain all of it: the final implication is that Ajax is really that tough.

* {{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 (theoretically, at least) but can feel nothing.

* {{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.
* HealingFactor: Clearly has one despite it is not on his official skillset, although it is nowhere as strong as Deadpool's. This is a fact he laments after escaping a thorough beating at the hands of the latter.

* InformedAttribute: His powers through the film don't fit easily their official description of being immunity to pain and super reflexes. For instance, he proves to have either SuperToughness or a mild HealingFactor (the guy literally ignores wounds that would cripple or kill any man, with pain or without it), while in turn his reflexes onscreen are hardly extraordinary (he's not much better at hand-to-hand fighting than Wade, who is mostly just a well-trained human). Those oddities are never touched upon, not even by Wade, who loves to point signs of lazy writing in his movies.

* 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:To kill him, a BoomHeadshot is enough.]]

* 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.

* HealingFactor: Clearly has one despite it is not in his official skillset, although it is nowhere as strong as Deadpool's. This is a fact he laments after escaping a thorough beating at the hands of the latter.

* InformedAttribute: His powers through the film don't fit easily their official description of being immunity to pain and super reflexes. For instance, he visibly has some kind of either SuperToughness or a mild HealingFactor (he ignores wounds that would cripple or kill any man, with pain or without it), while in turn his reflexes onscreen are hardly enhanced (his hand-to-hand proficency is more or less at the level of Wade, who is mostly a well trained human).

* AdaptationalWimp: Ajax was a cyborg in the comic that could wipe the floor with Deadpool in head on confrontation. Here he only has his immunity to pain.

* 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. The only real explanation is that he has UninhibitedMusclePower as a side effect.

* 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.

* 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.

* HealingFactor: He has one, but it is nowhere as strong as Deadpool's. This is a fact he laments after escaping a thorough beating at the hands of the latter.

* 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]].

* HateSink: A rare BigBad example, but this guy has to be one of the most disgusting human beings ever put to film, ''ever'', and it is hard not to literally cheer when ''anything'' bad happens to him.
