Mewtwo is an [[artificial Pokémon]]. It is a bipedal, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with some feline features. Its body is primarily gray with a long, purple tail and a purple underbelly. On top of its head are two short, blunt horns, and it has purple eyes. A tube extends from the back of its skull to the top of its spine, bypassing its neck. It has a defined chest and shoulders, which resemble a breastplate. The three digits on each hand and foot have spherical tips. Its tail is thick at the base but thins before ending in a small bulb.

Mewtwo was created after years of horrific gene splicing and DNA engineering experiments based on {{p|Mew}}. It is widely known as one of the most powerful Pokémon in existence and is said to have the most savage heart among all Pokémon, lacking compassion and striking fear into its enemy with cold, glowing eyes. Because it was engineered to be the ultimate opponent in battle, it can only think of defeating its foes. In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', one {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} exemplified these vicious characteristics. It was shown to be capable of levitation, telepathy, mind control, memory erasure, teleporting others to another location, and the creation of powerful storms. However, it was [[Mewtwo Returns|later shown]] to be caring, protective, and even altruistic. Another {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'' also shared its aversion to contact with others but was much less belligerent. As shown in [[POKÉMON Detective Pikachu]], Mewtwo can also transfer a [[human]]'s soul into a Pokémon's body, causing this person to gain control of the Pokémon's body and abilities. Mewtwo conserves energy by remaining motionless in order to unleash its full power in battle. Though {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely seen}} in the wild, it is said to be resting in a dark cave somewhere. It has a rivalry with Mew.  As seen in ''Genesect and the Legend Awakened'', Mewtwo can breathe in outer space.
According to [[Pokémon Mansion journals|journals]] found in [[Kanto]]'s [[Pokémon Mansion (Kanto)|Pokémon Mansion]], after discovering the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p||Mew}} and gathering some of its DNA, [[Dr. Fuji]] used it in his mansion to create Mewtwo, a modified clone of Mew with the goal to making it the most powerful Pokémon of all. It was held and studied in the mansion where horrific gene-splicing experiments were made making the Pokémon vicious and extremely powerful. It eventually broke free and fled the Mansion, destroying it in the process.

Though rarely seen in the wild, it is said to be resting in a [[Cerulean Cave|dark]] [[Unknown Dungeon (Kalos)|cave]] somewhere.


According to the [[Pokémon Mansion journals|scientific logs]] found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} of [[Cinnabar Island]], Mewtwo was born from a pregnant {{p|Mew}}, found deep in the jungles of [[Guyana]], whose embryo had been tampered with to alter its DNA. It was held and studied in the mansion where [[Mr. Fuji|a scientist]] performed horrific gene-splicing experiments that made it vicious and extremely powerful. It eventually broke free of the Mansion, destroying it in the process, and fled. It can be encountered in [[Cerulean Cave]], accessible only after a Trainer has proven their skill at the [[Indigo Plateau]].

In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, it's revealed {{adv|Mewtwo}}'s creation wasn't possible with the ammount of Mew's cells gathered, so to complete it, [[human]] cells was used instead, specifically from the [[Team Rocket]] [[Team Rocket scientists|scientist]], [[Blaine]]. Due to Blaine possessing some of Mewtwo's cells as well, the two became linked, which granted Blaine to ability to track its whereabouts at the cost of slowly taking his life.
