Character back to fight insect superhero? (6)
I believe the answer is:
mutant
'superhero?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'character back to fight insect' is the wordplay.
'character' becomes 'mu' (Greek letter).
'back to' indicates one should take the final letters.
'insect' becomes 'ant' (ant is a kind of insect).
The final letter of 'fight' is 't'.
'mu'+'t'+'ant'='MUTANT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mutant that I've seen before include "Cell that carries a mutation of a gene" , "Living thing that undergoes genetic change" , "badly bred" , "A product of genetic change" , "Genetically-modified" .)
