Mutation is the effect caused by Yuri's minor super weapon, the Genetic Mutator. In-game, the super weapon changes any normal infantry within its area of effect (which is the largest of the minor super weapons) into Brutes, which are somewhat modelled on the Incredible Hulk.
The effect is achieved using MakeInfantry logic with the warhead that the super weapon uses to kill its targets.
