| 1 | * CompleteMonster: [[SinisterMinister Reverend William Stryker]], debuting here, [[FantasticRacism hatefully persecutes mutantkind]], having stabbed his own infant son for being born a mutant and killing his wife for birthing the boy. Founding the "Purifiers", Stryker has them kill any mutants they come across. Kidnapping Charles Xavier to MindRape him, Stryker plans to use the psychic mutant to [[FinalSolution wipe out every other mutant on Earth]] in the name of his fanatical quest. Temporarily stopping his genocidal crusade, Stryker resumes upon finding the mutant-killing machine, Nimrod, founding a new Purifier group and revealing it to the world through bombing a school bus full of de-powered mutants, [[WouldHurtAChild killing dozens of innocent children]]. After manipulating and then killing a young mutant, Stryker launches an all-out assault on the X-Mansion in the hopes of killing all the children living there. Even after his own death, Stryker's brainwashing of his own son breaks the boy into becoming a fanatical, bigoted monster like his father. |
| 2 | * FridgeHorror: As Storm is a claustrophobe, the small capsule she was imprisoned in [[spoiler: by Stryker]] must have been terrifying to her. |
| 3 | * SignatureScene: The panel where William Stryker points at Nightcrawler and rhetorically asks "Human? You dare call that--thing--human!?!" and Kitty chewing out Stryker right after that (although the former panel is more famous due to MemeticMutation). |
| 4 | * {{Tearjerker}}: The deaths of young Mark and Jill, at the very beginning of the graphic novel. Magneto's reaction, when he comes on the scene, might qualify as another. One can tell this is not the first time he's seen children killed. |
