with the goal of eradicating humanity.
In this storyline, Stryker’s stated objective is exterminating mutants, not humanity. Official Marvel summaries describe his crusade as destroying mutantkind and say Weapon H was created to kill mutants.
Full reasoning
Official Marvel summaries of the 2017 Weapon X run consistently describe William Stryker’s objective as anti-mutant extermination, not wiping out humanity.
In Marvel’s “Weapon X: Striking First”, Greg Pak explicitly says Stryker’s “primary goal has always been the extermination of mutants,” and Marvel frames the story as Stryker continuing his “quest to destroy mutantkind.”
Marvel’s “What is a Hulkverine?” likewise says the Stryker-led Weapon X program “combined Hulk and Wolverine DNA with human subjects to create a super soldier designed to kill mutants.” That directly contradicts the article’s claim that the cyborg program’s goal was “eradicating humanity.”
So the problem is not just wording: it reverses Stryker’s target. In this arc, humanity is not what Stryker is trying to eradicate; mutants are.
