Zander subsequently tried to turn the girl into a weapon, but his inhumane treatment of her and plans to create more clones like her eventually led to Zander’s scientific partner, Dr. Laura Kinney, to manipulate X-23 into killing him.
Zander inherited his father’s research, and years later, he formed his own mutant research program to recreate Weapon X’s work.
In the Marvel comics universe, Zander Rice’s father worked on the original Weapon X project, but he was killed by Wolverine when the newly adamantium-bonded mutant was escaping.
That suggests a horrible fate may await Zander, which would be fitting karma for his malevolent acts.
