In the ''Pokémon'' anime and movies, {{iw|bulbapedia|Mewtwo|original series}} is depicted as having been cloned from an eyelash of Mew and created at {{s|bulbapedia|Team Rocket}}'s behest. Given a more [[bulbapedia:The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin|sympathetic backstory]] than in the games, Mewtwo befriends a group of clones as a child, but the cloning process results in their premature deaths—with the exception of Mewtwo itself, due to having Mew's eternal life force. The trauma of losing its friends, coupled with being dismissed as a science experiment by its creators, causes Mewtwo to develop hatred towards humans and Pokémon subservient to humans. Thus, Mewtwo sets out to prove itself superior to natural lifeforms by creating an army of cloned Pokémon created from the genetic source material of various [[Pokémon trainer]]s' Pokémon. | In the ''Pokémon'' anime and movies, {{iw|bulbapedia|Mewtwo|original series}} is depicted as having been cloned from an eyelash of Mew and created at {{s|bulbapedia|Team Rocket}}'s behest.

However, Mewtwo has a change of heart after witnessing {{s|bulbapedia|Ash Ketchum}} sacrifice himself to stop a battle between its clone army and their originals; Mewtwo subsequently realizes that life is defined by one's actions instead of their origins.

Despite the species' one-of-a-kind nature originally, other Mewtwo have appeared in the {{s|bulbapedia|core series}} and across the various Pokémon continuities ever since. Two other Mewtwo have fully-voiced appearances: [[bulbapedia:Mewtwo (Best Wishes series)|one]] in [[bulbapedia:M16|the sixteenth movie]] that is capable of undergoing Mega Evolution, and [[bulbapedia:Mewtwo (Detective Pikachu)|one]] in both the ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Detective Pikachu|game}}'' spin-off game and the [[bulbapedia:Detective Pikachu (movie)|live-action movie of the same name]]. | Despite the species' one-of-a-kind nature originally, other Mewtwo have appeared in the {{s|bulbapedia|core series}} and across the various Pokémon continuities ever since.

Mewtwo is a gender-unknown species, although this is not depicted consistently in other media. In the anime, the telepathically-generated voice for the first Mewtwo is male (which is reflected in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series), whereas the second Mewtwo featured in the sixteenth movie has a feminine voice. In comparison, the ''Detective Pikachu'' film's Mewtwo possesses an artificial, androgynous voice, but is referred to with male pronouns nonetheless. | |||

Mewtwo appears in ''Brawl'' as a collectible trophy, obtained by completing [[All-Star Mode]] on Intense difficulty. The trophy describes Mewtwo's appearance in the ''Pokémon'' games, but makes no reference whatsoever to its appearance in ''Melee''. | |||

*Like [[Charizard]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and [[Lucario]], Mewtwo draws inspiration from a particular member of its species depicted in the ''Pokémon'' anime. In Mewtwo's case, it is based on the {{iw|bulbapedia|Mewtwo|original series}} from ''Pokémon: The First Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back'' and the TV special ''Mewtwo Returns'', although it also makes some references to the {{iw|bulbapedia|Mewtwo|Best Wishes series}} from ''Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening'' and ''Genesect and the Legend Awakened'': | *Like [[Charizard]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and [[Lucario]], Mewtwo draws inspiration from a particular member of its species depicted in the ''Pokémon'' anime.

Its Japanese quotes in both games have it boast about its power and question its existence, much like the first Mewtwo did on several occasions. The quotes were not dubbed in other languages; they were swapped out with language-neutral voice clips in the non-Japanese versions. In ''Ultimate'', the same thing would happen to some of [[Hero]]'s voice clips. | ||

*Mewtwo's status as a [[Weight|lightweight]] in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series contradicts its weight in the {{s|bulbapedia|Pokédex}}, where it is listed as weighing 269 pounds/122 kg. This is seemingly attributed to its telekinetically-induced anti-gravity.
