Mutant

Overview

Maybe the parents of a hero or villain of mutant origin were exposed to strange radiations, or maybe it's just the next leap forward in evolution. Either way, the powers of these heroes and villains were encoded into their genes before they were born.

Initial Contacts

Most heroes of mutant origin will begin their adventures in Paragon City by contacting GIFT, an organization that specializes in working with heroes of mutant origin. Heroes of mutant origin will have either Antonio Nash in Atlas Park or Prince Kiros Nandelu in Galaxy City as their initial contact, depending on which zone he or she selects as his or her beginning zone.

Origin does not affect the initial contact of villains.

Enhancements

Heroes and villains of mutant origin may only use mutant dual-origin or single-origin enhancements. Villains normally obtain mutant-origin enhancements from the Mutant Quartermasters. Some lower-level contacts also sell mutant-origin enhancements, but at an inflated cost.

The Mutagen Power

Mutant heroes and villains receive the Mutagen power.

Mutant Origin Titles

All heroes and villains have two opportunities to select titles for their character; once at level 15, and once at level 25. The second title is origin-specific.

Past Relevance

In the beta version of City of Heroes, a hero's origin played a much bigger part of the game than it did upon the game's release.

Future Plans

There has been wide speculation that in the future, there may be missions specific to a hero's or villain's origin; however, these reports are currently unconfirmed.
