Fallout Season 2 Just Dropped a Bombshell: The Super Mutant Twist is a Game-Changer
The latest episode of Fallout season two, "The Other Player," has sent shockwaves throughout the series' sophomore season. What initially seemed like a revenge tale between familial foes has taken an intriguing turn that's drawing inspiration from other parts of the Fallout universe.
In this pivotal episode, Lucy is left in the hands of her father, Hank, after being betrayed by the Ghoul. The scene unfolds with a few flashbacks to Cooper Howard's life as a Ghoul, struggling to get out of his own predicament. He eventually meets a mysterious figure who rescues him and takes him to their hideout, where he's patched up from the massive wound on his torso.
However, just as we thought it was going to be business as usual for this episode, Cooper Howard uncovers the face behind the hood – none other than Ron Perlman. Yes, you read that right; Perlman is playing a Super Mutant, and his growling voice reveals that he's been drawn into a mysterious alliance with the Ghoul.
This marks the first significant appearance of a Super Mutant in the show, following its brief cameo early on. Created by exposure to the Forced Evolutionary Virus (FEV), a pre-war bioweapon that has been present throughout the Fallout series, these genetically modified creatures have enhanced strength and resistance to disease. Perlman's character seems to be part of this group, making his case to the recovering Ghoul about their shared enemy in the Enclave.
The Enclave, which hasn't had much screen time thus far, is poised to make a major comeback as a faction within the wasteland. As a fascist paramilitary that existed before the Great War, they're determined to wipe out the "unpure" and establish themselves as the ruling power of America's remains.
With Perlman's arrival, it seems like the various factions are about to get entangled in a complex web of alliances and rivalries. The question on everyone's mind is: what does this mean for the rest of the season? Will we see the Enclave re-emerge as a major force, or will they be relegated to the shadows once again?
For now, it seems that the seeds have been sown for something big to happen in Fallout season two. The stage is set for an epic showdown between the power players of the wasteland and their new enemy – and we can't wait to see what's next.
