Axel Jaxson

Axel Jaxson (アクセル・ジャクソン), better known as Ajax, is the first main antagonist of Stryker. He was a criminal, expert hacker, enigmatic mastermind from Earth 7, the lifelong friend of Taylor Aldaine, and the archenemy of Wes Gates/Stryker.

After discovering universe breaching, Ajax arrived at Earth 1 and resumed his criminal activities there for two years, before heading to Ultimate City shortly after the Stryker's first appearance. Taking an interest in the vigilante, Ajax taunted him and the UCPD as The Crypter.

Aiding The Hierarchy, he infiltrated the UCPD with the intent of bringing down the law from within, but was stopped by Bucky Raymond. Setting his eyes on Anton, Ajax replaced him as the leader of the criminal underworld, breaking out the city's most notorious criminal, Mickey Murphy.

This lead to a confrontation with the Stryker on a moving airplane, in which Ajax was seemingly shot to death. However, he later revealed himself to be alive and with the knowledge of Stryker's identity being Wes Gates, threatening his loved ones.

In a final stand-off between him and Wes, Ajax was finally killed when Wes tackled him from Harper Enterprises, ending his terroristic acts.

Trivia

 * Ajax and Heath Lenwood are one of the few, if not the only two people not have a doppelgänger/universal counterpart anywhere in the multiverse.
 * Ajax's records nor history were unable to be found, as he hailed from Earth 7 and has not universal counterpart, further aiding him in keeping him hidden.
 * Although the name "Axel Jaxson" was originally believed to be a false alias used by Ajax, Alex Guy later confirmed that it was indeed his real name.
