G-Mantle (ゲーマント, Ge-Manto, with the Ge standing for "game") is a mysterious character appearing in many SNK games. He was used as a mascot for the Neo Geo before Terry Bogard. He is voiced by Hiroyuki Arita for his King of Fighters appearance. He bears a striking resemblance to the character V, from V for Vendetta.

Story
Edit
G-Mantle is a strange being who first appeared in print ads for the Neo Geo. He is portrayed as a masked "man", wearing a cape and hat. He has no legs and walks by means of levitation. In some KOF manhua, he is shown to have legs.
He has also made several appearances within SNK games. His first in-game appearance was in Blue's Journey. His most memorable appearances are as a taxi driver in Fatal Fury: King of Fighters intro, as King's disguise in Art of Fighting 2 and, most recently as a striker in The King of Fighters 2000.
In the SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash series, his name changes with every game he's in. In the first one, there is a character named Mask who is based on G-Mantle and is as mysterious as G-Mantle himself. The second game featured three other characters -a robot, woman, and a boy- who wore the same mask and had variations of his name.
Personality
Edit
G-Mantle's only in-game speech was his laugh, making him an even more mysterious character.

- Levitation - Having no legs, G-Mantle moves by floating around, pretty much like ghosts do.
