* {{Mutants}}: The infant is born with multiple abnormalities, including fangs, claws, and apparently the ability to move about despite being a newborn infant -- all of which make it very dangerous when upset, as newborns tend to be immediately after birth. These mutations seem to have been caused by an experimental fertility drug given to the mother, a la thalidomide.

* TheAtoner: Frank reappears in the sequel trying to atone for his actions in the first film by helping other parents of mutant children, though unfortunately this results in a SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome about halfway through.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: The company behind the fertility drugs causing the mutation wants to cover it up, and orders the babies terminated so they won't be held liable.
