Mewtwo (Mewtwo ミュウツー Myūtsū in Japan, Mewtu in Germany and Mewtwo in France) is a fictional character from the Pokémon
franchise. It is widely considered to be the most powerful Pokémon to exist in the Pokémon universe.

The name "Mewtwo" originates from Mew, the Pokémon from whom its genes originated. The "two" suffix refers to Mewtwo being Mew's clone. "Mewtwo" could also be a corruption of "Mutant", referring to its larger physical form and stronger psychic abilities.

Characteristics

Mewtwo is a Pokémon unlike any other; everything about it, from its origin to its traits, is extraordinary. It is not a species per se; it is a single, unique entity that physically resembles a very tall, imposing, humanoid being with pale flesh, a huge purple tail, large intent eyes, what appears to be two cord-like necks, and vaguely feline characteristics. The shapes of its necks, crested chest, three-fingered hands, and sloped feet all help give Mewtwo the mutant image implied in its name.

Origin

Mewtwo is among the few Pokémon species that have been created by humankind. In the most basic sense, Mewtwo is a ‘’super-clone’’ of Mew, noted for its extreme power. Though the accounts of its origin all differ somewhat between the video games, anime, and manga, they are all consistent in that the Pokémon was created and enhanced by scientists working for the purpose of having created the world's strongest Pokemon. However, due to the experiment gone awry, Mewtwo awoke and immediately turned on its creators before abandoning them, fending for itself as it willed. Thus was Mewtwo’s genesis complete.

Also shown in the Red Blue and Yellow version Pokemon games is a diary entry from a scientists in Cinnabar Islands burned down mansion stating "Diary: Feb. 6 MEW gave birth. We named the newborn MEWTWO." This is generally believed to be a metaphor implying Mewtwo's birth from Mew's DNA.

Abilities and Powers

Due to its genetic background with the magically powerful Mew, Mewtwo’s powers and abilities as a Pokémon are undeniable. It is imbued with all sorts of extrasensory powers that many humans would dismiss as fantasy and myth, yet to Mewtwo are simple everyday actions it can perform as second-nature.

For starters, Mewtwo is currently the most prominent user of telekinesis in the Pokémon world. With gentle outstretched hand motions and focusing of the mind, it can lift relatively large objects such as people and Pokémon off the ground and into the air from far away, and it can throw them violently about the air and launch them away. Another easy thing for Mewtwo to perform is self-levitation. In fact, with only a minor strain on its mind, Mewtwo can achieve genuine flight with its energy channeled accordingly. It can fly over large areas at large elevations from ground, stopping in mid-air if it wants, and it can even take other things such as Pokémon and inanimate objects with it by “hooking onto” them with its psychic powers and having them fly closely behind it as it travels through the air at high speeds.

Apparently due to the scientist's desire to make a sentient war weapon, Mewtwo is also completely fluent in telepathy, communication through the mind as opposed to the mouth, and in fact was born with knowledge of the entire English language. In fact, one never hears its real voice because it chooses to communicate by projecting into the minds of all in its area rather than through its mouth. In its telepathy projects perfectly-grammared English sentences in the resonant voice of an adult human male, helping Mewtwo seem a human-like character all on its own. Yet because it is a Pokémon, it can understand the speaking of any other Pokémon around it, making Mewtwo as effective a Human-Pokémon interpreter as Meowth of Team Rocket.

Considering Mewtwo’s capacity for all the talents described above, it should come as no surprise that Mewtwo is one of the most powerful battlers in the Pokémon world. It can wield many types of energy attacks, including balls of destructive energy which it can form and launch at its opponents, as well as use telekinesis to blow its target away. In special circumstances it can even delve deeply into the minds of people and alter the neural structure of their brains to achieve the effect of erasing their recent memories. To conserve its energy for any of these such cases, Mewtwo usually remains motionless wherever it resides alone.

As a sentient being, Mewtwo has displayed the capacity for conscious actions that can be considered evil in nature (see anime section), and it has strong feelings of embitterment and distrust towards the humans that have created it artificially, but it also has felt compassion and concern for certain other life forms, including Pokémon and a select few humans. It ultimately seems as though its personality is developed enough to allow for the virtues and failings of a human being.
