Its viciousness results from repeated DNA splicing and, in the anime, the loss of its friend {{an|Amber}} (whom it completely forgot about after its creators administered a serum to wipe its memory). During the anime special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', however, Mewtwo seems to have developed a very protective and guardian-like nature, to the point of surrendering to {{an|Giovanni}} just to keep its fellow clones safe. | ||

Re returned it to Blaine so he could attempt to show the mutant compassion and, if possible, find a cure for their illness. Blaine and Mewtwo fought against [[Lance]] two years later, but were defeated when their condition weakened them and Blaine collapsed. The pair were later cured by the flames of {{p|Entei}}, whom Blaine had earlier befriended and partnered with. Later, Blaine left Mewtwo on his own. The legendary Pokémon only returned in the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}} when he learned of Giovanni's plans to use {{adv|Deoxys}} for nefarious purposes. Once it could communicate telepathically, Mewtwo joined up with Red in an attempt to defeat Deoxys and Giovanni. With Red's help, Mewtwo managed to defeat the duo after a tough fight that nearly killed it. It has a Quiet [[nature]]. | ||
