I don't even want to know where this came from. Now, I'm not one to question the Directorate.

Doctor Frederick has informed me that the Directorate has pre-approved research on samples of the FEV virus, which he already has in his possession. In point of fact, everything down here is fine. I'm pleased to report that, as has been the case during my tenure, crop yields exceed expectations. This is Doctor Elliott, with the official report for the Directorate from BioScience. Super mutant overlord appears in Fallout 4. Their actions were even more heinous considering the fact that in case the mutation destabilized, it would create horrifying behemoths: Warped, immensely powerful giants with a fierce territorial instinct. In fact, the first super mutants attacked human settlements as early as 2180. In layman's terms, The Institute was simply releasing super mutants into the wild, creating a scourge on the Commonwealth that lasted for years. Successful mutations would be monitored to ensure survivability, then tagged and discarded. Both women and men were abducted from the Commonwealth and submerged in The Institute's modified FEV, their mutations carefully tracked and extensively investigated.

Research on samples acquired by the team was authorized by the Directorate and the program began despite the objections of some members of BioScience. All Commonwealth super mutants are the result of The Institute's research into FEV, which began in 2178 under the auspices of Doctor Frederick.
