About Mewtwo 
Mewtwo (ミュウツー Myūtsū?) is one of the 493 fictional species of Pokémon creatures from the Japanese Pokémon media franchise, designed by Ken Sugimori.[1] In all aspects of the franchise, Mewtwo, as with all other Pokémon, are used to battle both wild, untamed Pokémon and tamed Pokémon owned by Pokémon trainers.[2]
Mewtwo's name originates from that of another Pokémon, Mew, from whom its genes originate. The "two" suffix refers to Mewtwo being a cloned and enhanced Mew. The name Mewtwo refers to the species as a whole, as well as to individual specimens in the games, anime, manga, trading cards, and other media, but canonically, there is only one Mewtwo in the Pokémon World.
Mewtwo's body is light purple and has an alien-like appearance, also resembling Mew's to some degree.
Biological characteristics
Mewtwo is described by the in-game Pokédexes of the Pokémon video games as being cloned from Mew[3] having been created by scientists by super modifying Mew's DNA.[4] It is primarily due to this characteristic that Mewtwo is featured in the various Pokémon media as tempestuous and remorseless. A sapient being, Mewtwo is among the few Pokémon species created by humankind. Mewtwo's ears resemble small horns and its body is less feline and more humanoid than that of Mew.
Due to its genetic background, Mewtwo’s powers are superior to all other Pokémon, even many of legendary or god-like regard. Mewtwo can employ telekinesis to lift people and Pokémon off the ground, or to perform self-levitation, which allows it to achieve genuine flight. All this can be done with only a minor or nearly no strain on its mind. Mewtwo has the ability to project its thoughts telepathically to others, making it one of the very few Pokémon who can directly communicate with any sort of creature. When in battle with another Pokémon, Mewtwo can easily summon a barrier of telekinetic power to protect its body, as well as erase memories.

In the Pokémon anime
Mewtwo is featured in the continuity of the anime and movie series. In the anime’s chronology, Mewtwo first appears in a special show on the "Mewtwo Returns" DVD titled The Uncut Story of Mewtwo’s Origin. Mewtwo is shown being created from the Mew's DNA by the scientist Dr. Fuji for Team Rocket. During growth, Mewtwo befriends a young girl named Amber (originally named Ai in the Japanese version), a clone of Dr. Fuji’s deceased daughter. However, the experiment encounters a tragic anomaly, and Amber disappears, leaving Mewtwo traumatized. Dr. Fuji forcefully administers serum to erase Mewtwo’s memory.
In the anime Episode 13, "Mystery at the Lighthouse" when Ash, Brock, and Misty arrived at a lighthouse and knock on the door, an image of Mewtwo is seen carved on its door, among other legendary Pokémon.[11]
Mewtwo also appears in the main anime storyline three times wearing its armor and helmet but its identity is not revealed. Its first appearance is in a Pokémon battle at the Viridian City Gym between Giovanni and Gary, who is defeated quickly.[12] The second appearance is during a brief scene with Giovanni talking to it.[13] The final appearance is when Mewtwo destroys and flees from the Gym during episode "Showdown at the Poké Corral".[14]

Other appearances
The last shot of Mewtwo Returns, the "Adding to Pokémon Lore" segment that preludes the sixth Pokémon movie Pokémon: Jirachi Wishmaker, and the opening sequence to the eighth season of the English anime dub all contain brief scenes where Mewtwo is seen residing amongst the rooftops and alleyways of what is merely described as a faraway city. In the latter two instances Mewtwo is seen wearing a brown cape.
Mewtwo's likeness, however, most recently appeared in the 10th anniversary television special, The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon. The Mewtwo that appears is a Mirage Pokémon created by Dr. Yung and his "Mirage Battle System". Dr. Yung, under the alias "Mirage Master", creates Mirage Mewtwo to be completely without weaknesses and capable of using any known Pokémon attack, and he plotted to use the entity to get revenge on those who doubted him. It is thought that Dr. Yung stole the information about Mewtwo from some sort of classified Pokémon files accessible with the password Oak gave him or used Pikachu's memory about Mewtwo. Ash and his friends, along with Professor Oak, are there to witness Mirage Mewtwo’s creation and were close to being destroyed by it if it were not for the interference of a Mirage Mew, another Mirage Pokémon created by Dr. Yung that somehow acquired enough sentience to rebel against the Mirage Battle System. Mirage Mew and Pikachu destroy Mirage Mewtwo with everyone’s help and the entire location is destroyed in a flaming wreck; Dr. Yung disappears amongst the flames of his collapsing factory. However, despite marching into a burning laboratory, his remains were not recovered, implying it is possible he is still alive and in hiding.
Mewtwo also appears in the live action musical Pokemon Live, along with Giovanni's mechanical clone, MechaMew2. Mewtwo appears near the end and turns MechaMew2 against Giovanni by using the memories of Ash Ketchum and how MechaMew2 was never shown kindness.
In the anime and all games with spoken dialogue, Mewtwo is voiced by Japanese actor/singer Masachika Ichimura. In the English dub of the first movie, it is voiced by Phillip Bartlett. In the dub of the special Mewtwo Returns, Mewtwo was voiced by Dan Green.
In the Pokémon manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Mewtwo's appearances in the Pokémon Trading Card Game include basic Psychic-type cards in the Base Set,[16], Gym Challenge (as Rocket's Mewtwo),[17] , Legendary Collection,[18], Neo Destiny (as Shining Mewtwo),[19], Expedition,[20], EX Ruby and Sapphire (as Mewtwo EX),[21], EX Team Rocket Returns (as Rocket's Mewtwo EX, a Dark-type),[22], EX Delta Species (as a Steel/Fire dual type),[23], EX Holon Phantoms (Lightning-type) and EX Holon Phantoms (as Mewtwo "Star", resembling Shining Mewtwo).[24] The original Mewtwo card was a startlingly weak card, having only an average amount of hit-points, and a fairly powerful, but costly attack. In addition to the above cards, a strong promotional Mewtwo card was circulated with different artwork through the TCG League and as a card packed in with the home video release of Pokémon the First Movie. Rocket's Mewtwo in Gym Challenge was actually the first Pokémon card to feature three attacks at once. It is also one of the few Pokémon cards to have an altered art format; in order to fit the three moves, the picture was drawn smaller than usual. In the Legendary Collection, the movie/Nintendo Power Promo Mewtwo was found instead of the original Base Set version. Mewtwo EX in EX: Ruby & Sapphire is a powered-up version of the promotional card. There was also a promo card in the first wave of the First Pokémon Movie.In the Pokémon Trading Card Game
