==In the anime==
{{main|Mewtwo (M01)}}
Mewtwo first appeared in it's armored form in the episode ''[[EP063|The Battle Of The Badge]]'', where he battles against [[Gary Oak|Gary]]'s [[Gary's Arcanine|Arcanine]] and [[Gary's Nidoking|Nidoking]]. He was easily able to defeat them both using his psychic abilities. At the end of the episode, [[Giovanni]] released Mewtwo from his cables and informed Mewtwo that he had a special assignment.
 
Armored Mewtwo makes it's movie debut in ''[[M01|Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', where it's armor is used as a sort of prison in order for [[Team Rocket]] to control it. Mewtwo eventually breaks free and seeks revenge. This same plot would be repeated in [[M22|Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]].
 
==In the manga==
In the ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back! (manga)|Mewtwo Strikes Back!]]'' [[Manga]], Team Rocket takes control of Mewtwo using the armor. In this manga series, Mewtwo uses his armor to attempt to try and help Giovanni take over the world, until its "father" ([[Dr. Fuji]]) frees it.
 
[[File:M2 Bind.png|right|thumb|200px|Armored Mewtwo in Adventures.]]In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] series, Giovanni traps Mewtwo in armor (titled the "M2 Bind"), which forces Mewtwo to suppress his powers.
 
Armored Mewtwo appears again in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution (manga)|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', where Giovanni is able to take control of Mewtwo using its armor. Giovanni was able to show off Mewtwo's capabilities for a little while before being thwarted. Mewtwo is eventually freed when it gets a blow to the chest from a [[Rhydon]].
 
In the ''[[Mewtwo Returns (manga)|Mewtwo Returns]]'', Giovanni is able to capture and enslave Mewtwo in a suit of armor.

==Trivia==
* In the English dub of the anime series, Giovanni tells Mewtwo that the armor is meant to help harness his powers, while in the Japanese dub Giovanni tells Mewtwo that it is meant to fight for Team Rocket.
* According to the Pokémon Adventures Manga series, Mewtwo's armor is known as the "M2 Bind".
* In most adaptions of this form of Mewtwo, the armor is meant to make it easier for Giovanni to control Mewtwo.
