G-Mantle (ゲーマント) is a mysterious character appearing in many SNK games. He was used as a mascot for the Neo Geo before Terry Bogard.

Story
G-Mantle has made several appearances within SNK games. He started appearing in print ads for the Neo Geo. His first in-game appearance was in Blue's Journey. His most memorable appearances was 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.

G-Mantle is a strange being. He is portrayed as masked, wearing a cape and a hat. He doesn't have legs and walks by means of levitation. He has appeared in some KOF manhua as well, but this version had legs.

In Card Fighters Clash, there is a character named Mask who is based on G-Mantle and is as mysterious as G-Mantle himself.

This character also has a striking resemblance to the character V, from V for Vendetta.

Personality
G-Mantle's only in-game speech was his laugh which makes him even more mysterious.
