Forum:What is the point of super mutants in Van Buren?

The title pretty much states it all; what would the role of Super Mutants be/have been in Van Buren? None of the documents I've read have even mentioned them. 68.147.40.224 21:21, May 8, 2011 (UTC) That was me, sorry about not being logged in. Power Bonkers 21:32, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Supermutants don't represent a single, unified faction post-Fallout 1. Furthermore, there's been references throughout the series of mutants going east after the Master died. There's no more or less point to supermutants in Van Buren than the presence of dwarves in the first two games, or ghouls in New Vegas, just another bit of characterization.--OvaltinePatrol 09:27, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

There were several super mutant characters in Van Buren, e.g. Blackjack, one of the escaped Tibbets prisoners. Other super mutant characters include Revelation John, Bear and Beatrice. Ausir(talk) 09:38, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

I actually meant what was their back story or what role did they play in the main quest? Sorry if I wasn't clear. Power Bonkers 22:29, May 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * The only one that played a major role in the main story was Blackjack. You can read it in his article. Ausir(talk) 22:31, May 9, 2011 (UTC)
