After being introduced to the FEV, they were analyzed, and their survival determined their fate. Their ranks are made of kidnapped Commonwealth citizens. Created by the Institute’s Bioscience Department FEV Lab, they are the result of failed experiments with the FEV, or Forced Evolutionary Virus. Wasteland and West Coast cousins, have origins completely different from those groups. The Super Mutants of the Commonwealth, though in some ways related to their D.C. Luckily for the Commonwealth,īoston only holds the scrawnier cousins of the mutant family. Because of their relative shortness, I'm instead adding them all in one discussion. A quick note: This was originally a three-part lore miniseries over in the now-defunct Fallout Lore section.
