Unlike their brethren from the Capital Wasteland, the Commonwealth mutants possess a relatively advanced understanding of armor, weapons, and at least some minor knowledge of craftsmanship in comparison to their brethren. Simple-minded and afflicted with pain from their twisted, broken forms, the mutants vent all their hatred and wrath against the “norms.”Īlthough they are completely sterile, the rapid regeneration of their cells caused by FEV makes them virtually biologically immortal (but not immune to death from injury). Other side effects of this form of FEV infection include an alteration of the pigment cells of the epidermis.
As the gametes of the reproductive system consist of 'half-cells' comprising only 23 of the normal 46 chromosomes, they are perceived as 'damaged' cells by the FEV's integrated genetic sequences, which "repairs" them by restoring the missing chromosomes, which essentially renders the mutants sterile since their gametes lose the ability to recombine with other sex cells in sexual reproduction. The mutation produced by the FEV in this case has some severe side effects.
They are much taller, bulkier and muscular than pure strain humans, have (mostly) green, gray, or yellowish skin, are immune to disease and radiation, and are gifted with superhuman strength and endurance. Super mutants are mutated humans, products of infection by the Forced Evolutionary Virus (FEV).
