"X-Men 2" Synopsis

The opening of the story immediately follows the end of the first episode. In order to retrieve his past memories, Logan left Professor X’s school and went to the Akali Lake Industrial Center incognito. On the other side, the Human Council is busy. Rebuild the Statue of Liberty, which was hit hard in the Mutant War; Magneto continues to serve his sentence in the plastic prison carefully built by Professor X. On the surface, the world seems to have gradually returned to normal, but the X-Men did not notice that in the dark depths of this world, a new conspiracy is quietly approaching.

For mutants, peaceful days have never been long. In a shocking assassination against the US President, the appearance of a new type of mutant with teleportation and invisibility, the Blue Devil (Nightcrawler), not only caused the government and society to resist the mutants again, but also set off. An aggressive anti-mutants movement with impure motives. In the White House, General William Stryker has always been hostile to mutants and Senator Robert Kelly (phantom demon), and the president is planning a military operation against the mutant headquarters X Academy. And the assistant next to General William Stryker, a mutant named Anne Reynolds (Anne Reynolds) secretly-Dead Lady, controlled by William Stryker.

On Professor X's side, Wolverine's investigation in Lake Ekali yielded nothing, so he had to return to X Academy to help out; and the new X-Men Pyro with the ability to manipulate flames appeared on the scene, which also boosted the morale of the X-Men. (However, the triangular relationship between the Fireman and the Rogue and Iceman in the X Academy has caused some headaches for the older generation of X-Men.) Professor X, who has gathered his strength, hopes to pass his own super Ability to find a new type of mutant blue devil who assassinates the president. However, the special ability of the Blue Devil made his mutant signal very weak, and even Professor X could not find his exact location, and could only vaguely feel that he should be near Boston.

In order to confirm the whereabouts of the Blue Devil, Professor X sent Storm Girl and Dr. Qin Ge Lei to Boston for further investigation. Professor X himself went to the prison to visit Magneto, but was stunned by the poisonous gas by William Stryker. But everyone did not expect that General Stryker's special forces seized the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity and launched a surprise attack that severely damaged X Academy. During the conflict, the confrontation between Wolverine and General Stryker made Wolverine realize that General Stryker is inextricably linked to his past memories. However, the impact of the memory fragments caused Wolverine to fall into the chaos of the memory and lose its combat effectiveness. It was not until the little mischief, the iceman, and the fireman came to rescue him that he was able to escape the danger. However, the X-Men who thought they had escaped a disaster have not realized that General Stryker’s real goal is not the students in the academy, but what Professor X uses to find every mutant in the world. X Mastermind (Cerebro)!

General Stryker’s son, Jason, is also a mutant and studied in X Academy, code-named “Mutant 143”. His unique consciousness manipulation ability has a lot to do with Professor X. However, General Stryker's evil ambitions vainly used his son's superpowers to manipulate Professor X and control the X mastermind to launch brainwave attacks on mutants around the world.

At the same time, Wolverine and others joined Dr. Qin Ge Lei and Storm Girl in Boston, and successfully recruited the Blue Devil, adding another powerful member to the X-Men team. The reborn X-Men came to the Iceman’s home and prepared to take a break. However, the Iceman’s family shamefully betrayed their children and called the government to the police. As a result, the police were besieged, and even the X fighter plane that the X-Men was riding was shot down by a military plane! At the very moment, Magneto, who felt the threat of Stryker, appeared at a critical juncture, unexpectedly rescued the X-Men, and suggested that the X-Men cooperate with themselves to fight against the common enemy of the mutants-- Stryker.

The arduous battle has arrived, and all the X-Men drove together to the home of General Stryker, a secret base located in the Industrial Center of Lake Ekali. An unprecedented fierce battle has fought...

Wolverine injected liquid metal into Lily (William Stryker's deputy) and got her done.

In the end, the storm girl's weather turned cold and defeated Jason (the son of William Stryker, who can create fantasy), letting Dr. X get rid of the fantasy.

Then when the flash flood was about to erupt, tie William Stryker to the wheels of the plane.

In the end, a flash flood broke out, and Jean Gray used his mind to force the plane that Wolverine and the others were on, but he was swept away by the flood, and his life and death were uncertain.

William Stryker is dead.
