Mutato’s “grandfather” finds women alone in their homes, knocks them out with gas, and then drapes the house in the same tents exterminators use when they’re gassing for termites. Old Man Pollidori and Mutato stay in the houses for a few days at a time, and this is when Mutato assaults the unconscious women.
The X-Files episode also reveals that this is how Izzy—the indie comic book writer—was conceived, which makes the whole thing even more disturbing.
Played by Stewart Gale, Izzy is meant to be at least 15 or 16 years old (though the actor looks to be in his early twenties) and we’re told Mutato is 25, meaning he assaulted Izzy’s mom when he was around 9 or 10.
When The X-Files‘ Mutato isn’t assaulting the women, he’s going through their records, books, and movies. This is how he discovers the 1985 drama Mask, in which Eric Stoltz plays Rocky Dennis—a teenager born with craniodiaphyseal dysplasia, a rare bone disorder that leaves him with a facial deformity.
Identifying strongly with Rocky, Mutato winds up also becoming a big fan of Cher because the singer plays Rocky’s mother in the film.
