Headcanons about Mewtwo
Okay, I kinda felt like writing out some headcanons I got of Mewtwo. My Mewtwo (that I call Miodzio), is based on the one in the first Pokemon movie and "Mewtwo Returns". Except that in my version of events, Mewtwo found and got to know Monika slightly before the events of his second movie.
Anyway, here we go!
Contrary to how many fanfictions portray him, Mewtwo has no genetic connection to Giovanni whatsoever. Instead, he truly is the brother of Aitwo, sharing enough genes with her to make them siblings. Dr. Fuji, in his quest to give his cloned daughter Aitwo enough life energy and vitality to survive the cloning process (and not die after 4 years, as the radio drama implied), wanted to use Mew's genes, as it is said to be immortal. In order to upgrade a future clone Aitwo, he used Mewtwo to test if Mew and Aitwo's genes can be combined, resulting in a new Aitwo clone that would be strong enough to emerge and live outside the tank. The reason why Aitwo was able to contact Mewtwo psychically is because of this genetic link.
Contrary to popular belief, Mewtwo doesn't have much in common with your average housecat.
Mewtwo isn't at all comfortable being completely idle, as this causes his existential dread to pop up, and he has a strong need to find meaning in his existence. So I imagine that he is a seeker of knowledge and a bit of an inventor (especially since he was able to build an entire castle and an automatic cloning machine from scratch). I imagine that when settling down to a place of his choosing, he would have a large library of knowledge and a lab in his "man cave". Like, a library/laboratory hybrid.
Mewtwo is only really attracted to human women; a Pokemon mate would not do it for him, as he is far too human himself and too removed from the everyday Pokemon. Plus, I'd argue that his experience of warmth and comfort from his human sister Aitwo has subconsciously shaped this attraction.
Monika, with her habit of giggling whenever she is nervous, embarrassed or happy feels familiar to him, as this is one trait she shares with his sister.
Mewtwo is the self-sustaining type. He would build his own hydroponics garden if it's necessary to not rely on outside help.
Shaped by the experiences at Mount Quena and the healing waters, he would pursue a career as a Healer, maybe even invent new medicine to help sick and wounded Pokemon. (or, he could even go so far as to revolutionize medicine and help humans too. I imagine that he would be this mysterious figure who published amazing medical articles under a pseudonym, but nobody in the medical field has ever personally seen this mysterious man to their face! I bet Mewtwo would get a kick out of staying mysterious like this! XD Plus, I imagine he would be someone who definitely could find a cure for cancer!!)
Mewtwo suffers from depression.
Mewtwo at first wasn't very good when it comes to opening up to others. And when it comes to love and romantic relationships, there was a real war in his mind - is staying with a lover worth the potential loss of freedom? This was the question he needed to find a solution for.
Mewtwo is totally such an Aquarius (or at least in my mind, he shares so many traits and fits so many descriptions of this zodiac sign!)
