Stryker's biography
screen in Mortal Kombat 3 revealed that he was the leader of the Riot Control
Brigade when Outworld's portal opened over New York City. He attempted
to keep order among the populace in the ensuing chaos, but soon all human
souls were taken by Shao Kahn with the exception of those that belonged
to the chosen warriors. Stryker did not understand why he had been spared
until he received a vision from Raiden, instructing him to head west in
order to meet with the other chosen warriors and learn about the importance
of his survival.
Although he did not wish to be one of the few souls that
was spared, he entered the fray with the intention of avenging the lives
of the innocent that he had vowed to serve and protect. Along with the
other warriors, Stryker assisted in liberating Earthrealm from Shao Kahn's
clutches. He later reappeared in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon with a complete
redesign, including clothing resembling riot gear.

Stryker was the first fighting game character ever to use a
gun during gameplay... what an asshole. Even though a lot of players hated
Stryker, at least he was a "different" and original-looking MK character
when he debuted in MK3. I mean, at least they didn't make another
guy with shoulder pads and a loincloth, right? lol.
His later re-design in MK: Armageddon was
disappointing to say the least, especially since he looked absolutely nothing like
his original incarnation and, not to mention, could use a semi-automatic
machine gun during gameplay... (another lame-ality from the MK designers
during that time period). However, I have to give it up to NetherRealm studios
for bringing Stryker back in MK9
and actually making him halfway cool again (and thankfully, Stryker finally
wears his hat the right way. lol). Even so, Stryker somehow manages to be a goof after they fleshed him
out. At the end of the day though, he's a halfway entertaining MK design.
