Mutants (The Hills Have Eyes)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mutants are the fictional villains in The Hills Have Eyes film series. In the original series, they were not mutants. The remake has them as mutants reated when a mining town refused to leave their desert town when the US Government tested nuclear bombs on the surrounding land.

[edit] Other Mutants

[edit] Hades

Hades is described as being, "huge. The leader of, and the largest of, the mutants - has a face sort of like a mandrill; truly terrifying." Hades is being portrayed by Michael Bailey Smith, who portrayed Pluto in the previous film. The name Hades represents his role in the film as being a leader with the same name as the mythological figure, Hades. The mythological figure is also, ironically, known as Pluto.

[edit] Hansel

Hansel, is described as being in his, "30s, huge and hulking, but with a childlike demeanor - an enormous simpleton. He helps Amber and Napoleon when they're trying to rescue Missy - but it later turns out he's not as innocent as he seems..." The name Hansel may be a reference to the children's tale Hansel and Gretel because of his "childlike demanor".

[edit] Chameleon

Chameleon, is described as, "A bald mutant, large, muscular, his skin changes color to match his surroundings. Along with Hades, the most prominent of the mutants. He grabs Missy, drags her into the mines and holds her hostage." Chameleon's name is a direct reference to the chameleon animal, that has the ability to change its color according to its environment.

[edit] Grabber

The last mutant is Grabber, described as "A large mutant, scarred, hard-muscled, but nearsighted and relies on his sense of smell in the dark. He attacks Amber, only to be fought off by Mickey." Grabber's name may be a reference to his nearsightedness and that he grabs to find his victims.
