Insect Mutant is a man named Frank, holding up a large fly-like alien which protrudes through his stomach. Frank's face is mutated, and the back of his overalls reads "Frank's Motors". The alien's head is classified as the character's head, and firing at Frank's head does not count towards a headshot. He appears in the original TimeSplitters, and then reappears for another appearance in TimeSplitters 2 as a classic character; however, like The Impersonator, he failed to make a third appearance in TimeSplitters: Future Perfect.

Insect Mutant reappears in TimeSplitters 2, being one of the few classic characters to have returned from the first game. Although he returned, there was no effort to include him in anything but bot sets in the game, where he is associated with the other classic characters and the Chinese Restaurant, despite having never appeared in its story. In this appearance, his head is not detachable, unlike TimeSplitters 1.
Story[]
1950, Village[]
- Main article: Village (Story)
In a village in the 1950s, a cursed artifact that heavily mutated the inhabitants was discovered. It is the mission of two scientists, Doctor Seth Graven and Doctor Katje Nadir, to retrieve this artifact for deeper research. However, the mutants seem to be against this, either by choice or via mind control. Only death will stop the mutants from trying to preserve the artifact hidden beneath the village.
Trivia[]
- His voice clips are reused for Headsprouter in TimeSplitters: Future Perfect.
- He is the only character, except Impersonator, to appear in the first two games, but not the third.
