“	I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.	„
	~ Mewtwo

Background

There is a total of 3 existing Mewtwos. Their three backstories are:

Mewtwo was born of a pregnant Mew, found deep in the jungles of Guyana, whose embryo had been tampered with to alter its DNA. It was held and studied in the mansion where a scientist performed horrific gene-splicing experiments that made it vicious and extremely powerful. It eventually broke free of the Mansion, destroying it in the process, and fled to Cerulean Cave.

Mewtwo was cloned by a scientist working for Giovanni, attempting to discover more about life recreation, with the intend to create a viable body for it's daughter's conscience. Mewtwo was the unique clone alive, surviving due to the unique properties of the DNA present in Mew's eyelash. After it was 100% conscious, it broke free from the lab, killing every single scientist present in it. After this, it was found, tricked and trained for an indefinite amount of time for Giovanni. During the first Pokémon movie, it broke free from it's armor and prison in the Viridian city Gym, and finished honing it's skills on an indeterminate place. In the meantime, it learned a lot about cloning, electronic, architecture, electrical engineering, chemical, etc. All it needed to build a humongous lab and clone the last evolutions of the three Kanto starters. Once it met and fought with Mew, Ash's selfless sacrifice showed him that humans weren't all identical, and that the true force of a Pokémon come from inside, not form physical superiority. In that same place, it also learned that inside, all Pokémon were alike, cloned or not, and saw that the destruction of the naturally born wasn't the solution of anything, much less the right thing to do. After that, it got rid of all the human's memories and departed with mew to find a place were his cloned Pokémon could live in peace.
