Is Frank Horrigan A Super Mutant

For me, Frank Horrigan symbolizes one of the most compelling contrasts in the 'Fallout' Universe. He starts as a human from the Enclave but his "general" enhancements mean he is no longer even the same creature, offering a sinister counterpoint to themes such as ambition and the corruption of power. His physical presence is monstrous, and his background is one filled with dashed ideals and moral ambiguity. It is this that makes him so fascinating. Fighting against him is like facing down the very incarnations of authority and consequences brought about because technology gone wrong. In 'Fallout 2,' Frank is above all else a foe--but he is also a salutary reminder to us humans at our most vulnerable amid all from which we have finally endured. The feelings I experienced in contention with him ran a gamut of dread and wonder. Although not officially tagged a super mutant, his character epitomizes one of the series' main themes--mutation. It adds depth to game's storytelling.

Frank is not a super mutant, he is in fact an Enclave soldier who underwent extensive modifications to transform into an enormous, terrifying Creature known as the 'Feral'. His transformation blends human and machine systems; he is a singular foe inside 'Fallout 2'. It is fascinating how the lore in of game blends various themes of mutation and technology. It adds an interesting layer to player enjoyment.
