[edit] Gears of War reference

Super Mutants from Fallout 3 could be a reference to the Locust from Gears of War here are some arguments:

1. Both live underground(Mutants in Vault and Locust in the caves) 2. They are main Antagonists in both games 3. Both capture humans 4. Both are fighting a more advanced enemy

And there are several more references

We should mention about this.

You know, you just redefined cluelessness. 15px-Scribe.jpg Tagaziel (call!) 20:48, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

...Super Mutants were part of the Fallout series before GoW even started production. [Composite 4] (My Talk)


god stupid people like you make baby jesus cry XD but anyway that is a stupid referance

And the enclave are the main antagonists MowatMan 00:39, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Buddhism is key!

Buddhism may be the key to surviving transformation.

For instance,
  • Uncle Leos quote on how 'he wishes to give you the moon', a refrence to a Buddhist koan.
  • Fawkes' Zen quotes like 'There is safety in mindfullness' and 'Be aware of the present moment'

Most importanty, Fawkes quote that the pain during tanformation is what causes the loss of humanity in subjects. Combined with the fact that Buddhim teachings are based on conquering pain, this strongly suggests Buddhism may be a key to surviving trnasformation. --TheFrogger 23:45, September 15, 2009 (UTC)

Uh, no. Did you ever play the original Fallouts? None of the supermutants were budding buddhists, quite to the contrary. It's baseless speculation. 11px-Naglowaa_se.gif Tagaziel (call!) 08:12, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

Remember, we're talking about the Vault 87 Super Mutants here. Not the Master's creations, which were made with a different strain of the FEV. Therefore, the transformation is obviously different (Vault 87 Super Mutants are incapable of facial expression, and lack of what appears to be cybernetics) so his speculation has a foundation. Not all of the Master's mutants were as bright as Marcus. Take Harry: He's a big, dumb, violent brute. ALL of the Vault 87 mutants seem dumber than Marcus (and the Lieutenant) with two exceptions: Uncle Leo and Fawkes.--Hollow Points 19:08, September 27, 2009 (UTC)Hollow Points

It's still bullshit. How would Fawkes or Leo learn the basics of Buddhism? 11px-Naglowaa_se.gif Tagaziel (call!) 19:59, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
Pre-War Books. They have to have something useful in them. 68.192.9.90 22:53, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
Actually, Fawkes talks about using a terminal to learn about the world and stuff. Maybe Vault-Tec had a few Buddhist files? Nitty 22:58, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
fawkes also wears a vault jumpsuit, suggesting near pre-war birth, so he likely learned Buddhism from growing up in the vault, maybe his parents were of east Asian decent? you cant discount it since mutation causes degeneration in the face and vocal cords, causing all supper mutants to sound and look alike--Katikar 14:48, October 19, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Eating

I know super mutants do eat, but do they need to eat to stay alive? In other words, can they die of starvation? 76.93.41.218 17:19, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

they probbaly can, after all their 'enhanched' humans, so they still retain that aspect. - RASICTalk 19:06, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Super Mutant Reminds Me Of Someone....

So when i encoutered my first super mutant, i notice the muscles, bald head, and voice. It reminded me of the 'Heavy' From the popular online game: Team Fortress 2. As well as the 'Tank' From Left 4 Dead. can someone confirm if im correct about the voice actor for the heavy being the voice actor for the super mutants. Ollyeng 19:52, December 5, 2009 (UTC)
