Its nature and origin are similar to elements of {{wp|Mary Shelley}}'s ''{{wp|Frankenstein}}'', in which a life-form created through unnatural means turns on its creators. Like Mew, Mewtwo has some {{wp|feline}} characteristics. Its body structure is much larger as a result of gene-splicing.

Mewtwo may also be based on {{wp|Giegue}} (Giygas), the main anatagonist of the Japan-only {{wp|Mother (video game)}} , before his body and soul were destroyed by its own PSI powers in {{wp|EarthBound (series)}}. Since many people working for APE.inc, including Benimaru Itoh, went on to Game Freak to create the Pokémon Series, it is possible that Mewtwo may be based on Giegue. Also from Mother, EVE, a space alien virus, share this cliché with {{p|Deoxys}}.
