There is a systemless supplement called The Metamorphica (https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/115703/The-Metamorphica-Classic-Edition). It is great. I love it. Full of random tables for mutations such mental, physical, psionic, supernatural, etc. mutations as well as descriptions of them. There are sections on using mutations for different genres and there are even a collection of different mutated NPCs and monsters.
In the Planescape 5e campaign I DM we have a character who recently got trapped in Limbo and now he has a very short temper (Behavioral Mutation) and the ability to duplicate (like Multiple Man but limited to one copy). It gives him a boost in power but it is thematic and a lot of fun. There is also risk involved. Does he sacrifice his duplicate so his party can escape, or does he save it for later and risk his party’s safety and survival.
I have an idea to run an X-Men Campaign where everyone randomly generates their Mutant using the random tables to create their characters. The idea being the Mutants in X-Men didn’t get to choose their Mutations, unless you count Mister Sinister ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, so neither will the players. I think it could be fun.
But you could use The Metamorphica to create (and even play) Post Apocalyptic Irradiated Wastelanders, Chaos Warped Demonic Abominations, Body Horror Experimentation Victims, Super Soldiers, Superheroes, Bizarre Alien Lifeforms, Formless Dream Entities, Eldritch Monstrosities, or beings trapped in Limbo.
Mutations range from Anthropomorphic Animal to Hunchback, from Double Jointed to Diabetic, from Genetic Memory to Dyslexia, from Magnetic Control to Cause Insanity, from Animated Tattoos to Cannot Cross Running Water, and so many more.
There is so much you can do with this product. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it. This review is not sponsored, I did not receive money from them or anyone else to review this. I simply gotta spread the love of an awesome product. 5 out of 5 stars.

How are my favorite dogs doing?
It’s me, Mary, everyone’s favorite Werewolf and professional badass.
So we have been like crazy swamped, and shit has been going down.
Heh heh … down.
SO!
Ya’ll may have heard about the old fart’s tryouts, which have brought in some new friends and expanded our happy family.
Now I’m all about family, except for my idiot brother, but the ones who didn’t pass … some of them did the belly flop of fail.
So here is a list of the BIGGEST FAILS!
Enjoy.
1. So this one gal waltzes on up and claims that she needs to take on harder challenges. She can mess with yer emotions and eff with people, and the girl was all over the place like spiderman. So we did what any rational people would do, we sent a big ass robot to kick her back into place. Exactly 3 seconds after seeing the bot we learn that she stress farts, loud. Oh my dawg, so she’s trying to fight a huge robot with a handgun and baseball bat, and she’s farting louder than your grandpa. Now we didn’t care if the girl was a loud farter, but it did suck that she started screaming and running when she ran out of ideas on how to fight this thing. Beautiful.
2. Next is this Australian wizard who specializes in strength and speed buffs. What he didn’t tell anyone was that he got the power from animals, but he also channeled their spirits. So he was in a country he’d never been in before and he decided to channel the nearest animal. An effing squirrel. He channels this squirrel and he can suddenly balance and climb like a boss, but then his eyes roll back and the spirit takes over. He leaps onto the old man when he sees that he has a walnut on his coat and claws the HELL out of his face. Squirrel man was disqualified when we eventually ripped him off of the old fart. The dude, however, climbed into the trees and still won’t come down … or put on clothes.
3. Man comes out all Iron Man and demands to be a part of our group. Turns out he’s an android, but decked with tons of gadgets and other pimp toys. So we send the dude out on some trials, guy can fly, super strength, lasers, and a cloaking skill. He was more than qualified. Except he had a problem he was unaware of, he screams at the top of his lungs every single second that his tech is being used. On top of this he can’t hear while doing this stuff and because of all of this we got a screaming deaf man flying around, shooting lasers, and turning invisible. Disqualified.
4. So we had a guy who claimed to be a professional Summoner and he waltzes in and summons an animal or a mythological creature to help him with everything he comes across. He does pretty well, until he summons a whale … in the middle of a room WAY too small for it. It got worse when he got rid of it and then decided to try again, ELEPHANT! Except this one wasn’t under his control and just started rampaging. He decided to summon something else to stop it … a freaking Dinosaur. Big ass T-Rex suddenly in this room and it was awesome dudes. Took us an hour to get rid of the big ol lizard.
5. A lady goes through all the trials and wins EVERY SINGLE ONE. She tears through them and doesn’t even break a sweat, she has the ability to summon up all of her luck and use it whenever she wants. So for like 3 hours she is using up her luck and makes the Old Man look like an … well like an old man. When she completes the last test she steps over the finish line, looks back at us, smiles, and then a deer comes charging out of the forest and kicks her in he back. But then, after the deer runs off, a remote controlled plane flies right into her face. Then when she hits the ground, the lighter in her pants pocket, breaks and lights up her ass. She rolls around screaming until the fire goes out and then just lies there on her back. Until an arrow from another test flies through the air and stabs into her knee. I couldn’t stop laughing.
So, what is the best way to spend a week? Easy, you watch a bunch of wannabe super heroes mess up trying to impress an old bag of bones. I took pictures, and turned them into posters.

Giant Robo and Daisakue ready to lay a several ton smack-down on Big Fire!!
Sorry for the inconsistency of posts, I’ll try to get back on track!
You are a supervillain who has just captured your rival’s child. Rather than being afraid, they’re begging you to let them stay.
Frankly, you’d known those idiots had had a kid for years now. You’d pretended not to, because while you’d committed a lot of atrocities in your life, you weren’t willing to face the moral quandary of whether you would knowingly kill a child just to spite its parents.
They probably thought they were being clever though, what with the blaming you for an injury you knew damn well you’d never given keeping one of them out of commission for a few months, then references to what they would ‘leave behind’ or ‘could not follow’ when in the latest death trap. One of them had accidentally pulled a pacifier out of their utility belt once, and tried to pass it off as being prepared for any young children they came across while rescuing.
Idiots.
Still, you had standards. Standards that fell somewhere past war crimes and before common decency, but they were standards.
Christmas is near so Pigella will fulfil your desire gift with Purple Tigress!
