Super mutants, iconic adversaries in the Fallout video game series, have conspicuously vanished from the first season of the television adaptation. Despite the show’s setting within areas previously inhabited by super mutants, their absence has left fans puzzled. However, this omission may hint at a narrative twist or the possibility of their introduction in future episodes.
The timeline of the TV series suggests that many intelligent super mutants may have perished or descended into psychosis, leaving behind only the feral variants. Despite this, the appearance of Marcus in later Fallout games, notably Fallout 2 and New Vegas, demonstrates their potential longevity. This raises the prospect of familiar super mutants such as Fawkes or Marcus gracing the show with their presence.
In the television adaptation, the protagonist Lucy embarks on a journey that may require powerful allies to confront her father and the unknown that awaits in New Vegas. A super mutant, with their formidable strength and resilience, could excel in this role. While the appearance of super mutants in the second season of the Fallout TV show remains uncertain, their absence in the first season leaves room for anticipation and the possibility of their inclusion in future episodes.
