The film is loosely based on the 1982 X-Men graphic novel God Loves, Man Kills. In the film, William Stryker is a high-ranking army general who leads an assault into Professor Xavier's school to build his own version of Xavier's mutant-hunting computer Cerebro in order to decimate every mutant on Earth. The X-Men are forced to ally with Magneto and Mystique to defeat Stryker. X2 introduced Nightcrawler to film-goers, and was an even greater success than the original film, earning approx. $215 million in North America alone, making it one of the top ten movies of 2003. It was also proclaimed by many fans and critics a superior film than its predecessor.
