However, the key differences are that Jace's daughter was killed by a red energy blast from a unidentified mutant, while the X-cutioner's son was impaled by an errant spike from Magneto; the former became a government agent hunting mutants for his vengeance, while the latter became a violent serial killer who killed several children at the X-Mansion.
