The production company that made ''[[Firefly (TV)|Firefly]]'', ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', ''[[Angel (TV)|Angel]]'', ''[[DoctorDr. HorriblesHorrible's Sing -Along Blog]]'', and ''[[Dollhouse]]''. All about [[Joss Whedon]].
 
Origin: "Mutant Enemy" was the nickname Joss Whedon gave to the typewriter upon which he started his writing career, and came from the [[Yes]] song "And You And I" (specifically, the third section of the song entitled "The Teacher and the Preacher"), a band Whedon is a big fan of. This song was inspired by [[Isaac Asimov]]'s "Foundation" series of books, and the "mutant enemy" of that series was a character called the Mule.
