The Hive Mind appears to be a primary vector for the Necromorphs, in essence, acting as the progenitor for the entire species. Clifton, noting that if this was not the case, the Necromorph DNA woujld have no telepathic controlling entity, thus preventing Clifton and Hogan from becoming necromorphs themselves.

The Hive Mind seems to have formed from the dead skin cells of Dr. Well, while no exceedingly detailed information exists on the Hive Mind's creation, there are several things we know and can peace together via process of elimination and connectivity, using only the slightest amount of speculation. Maybe it was the marker? Maybe it turned someone who secretly took steriods or something on the ship was turned into it. Or.maybe it's creation was an accident? Maybe the fact that the red marker was on the planet for 200 years and the marker itself could have mutated something, and then the Hive Evolved? And if not then i guess they took some synthetic flesh they had grown (probably to avoid trouble with the existing DNA, just a theory) and created the Hive Mind. Whatever they managed to create with the help of the red marker. As for how they created the Hive Mind there is a good chance that they used a living creature and injected it with. That could explain why it could have grown so big since it had 200 years of growing and getting stroger. Is one good question :D I guess it´s one of thosse ¨don´t ask don´t tell¨ situations :DĮdit: I just thought of something, what if the Hive Mind is, in fact, alive? I don´t mean after Issac killed it but that it is (or rather, was) an living creature and not reanimated corpses like the rest of the necromorps. Well, I am still not sure of that - most of forms are created from dead bodies but what was source of Hive creation?
