The so-called ‘Deviant Gene Phenomenon’ is known to effect a large number of Humans across the globe.
It is estimated at least 1.5 Million Deviants exist globally, or 0.2 percent of the current world population.
The Deviant Gene has been a mystery to modern science since the 1800s when it was first described by science. Though we do know it has existed long before that discovery, as proven by the existence of people such as Zoey Taylor and The Heroes of Ragnarok.
But it was believed until quite recently that only members of the Hominina (Human, Neanderthals, Australopithecus etc.) subfamily was affected by it.
However recent research, studies and discoveries suggest the existence of Deviants runs far deeper in the primate family tree, and perhaps beyond.
Other Hominids (Chimps, Bonobos, Gorillas etc.)
The revelation that Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and Bonobos (Pan paniscus) sent shockwaves through the scientific community when the first Deviant Chimp was born in 1969
- Bingo - Bingo was the first chimp to display mutant abilities. An acting chimp, in 1945 he developed extreme musculature, far beyond the capacity of typical chimps. Unfortunately this increase of strength came with an increase of testosterone, leading to the once tame and loveable chimp to becoming very aggressive. While filming the TV show 'Bingo's Family' something set him off and he began to rampage, and with his increased strength he could cause extreme damage. He managed to rip the director in half, tore off a stagehand's arm and punched a hole straight through his handler's chest before he was shot in the head and killed.
- Oji: Chimp of Steel - Born in 1999 at Fossil Quarry Zoo and Aquarium, Oji was born a typical member of his species (Central Chimpanzee: Pan troglodytes troglodytes) like most Human deviants he remained normal until shortly after his 9th birthday when his skin began developing into a hard, metallic surface, accompanied by an extreme increase in strength. His new appearance caused the other chimps to fear and distrust him, socially isolating him, which lead to a severe depression. Worried about the safety of him, the other chimps, keepers and guests, the zoo contacted M.Y.T.H.O.S. who transported Oji to Facility Alpha for study. Constructing an indoor habitat for him to live where he still lives.
Lesser Apes (Gibbons and Siamangs)
- Gibbons are most likely able to develop Deviant genes, however, none have so far been observed.
Cercopithecine Monkeys
- Four Salmon Island Sasquatch population - the population (though some taxonomists suggest they may actually be a subspecies) of Sasquatch native to Four Salmon Island, off the coast of Vancouver Island, have enhanced intelligence and weak pychokinetic abilities.
