I got mine, I am number 9. Almost did not get it due to putting down the wrong address number. Good thing this area has had the same mail man for the past 30 years.

Was hoping this would be an actual promotional card to get people into the GWF, not another card for Chikara. The Chikara people know of the FG Chikara stuff, this could have been a great way to show them the GWF version of UMB and what they could get with that. Avarice, It looks to me like this Ultramantis Black card is indeed a GWF card. In addition to Black Death 2128 being listed at the top, the bottom right corner has a COTG symbol instead of the CHIKARA symbol that is present on the CHIKARA cards. Plus it was also described as a GWF card in the news stroy about its release. He's definitely not Black Death by any means or he'd have some sort of symbol on his card, plus he's only midcard status and not as powerful as the rest, nor does he have Ground Zero move, but the Inverted Chikara Special. My guess is that the card looks that way (no Black Death symbol, the Inverted Chikara Special instead of the move Ground Zero which is based on the Chikara Special) to give you the individual option as to whether or not you want to put him with the Black Death faction for your particular GWF fed. As it said on the news section about this card: "You'll love adding ULTRAMANTIS BLACK to your BLACK DEATH 2128 fed! Will he join BLACK DEATH or fight them? It's up to you! Use your imagination to add him for highest impact!"  Great art for sure, another home run by Werner I completely agree with you on that statement my friend. |

I got lucky number 7.
Also, as Vegas quoted:""You'll love adding ULTRAMANTIS BLACK to your BLACK DEATH 2128 fed! Will he join BLACK DEATH or fight them? It's up to you! Use your imagination to add him for highest impact!"
I'm glad they didn't just make him a Black Death guy. I will not be using him that way, but he won't necessarily be on the side of the GWF, either.

GREAT to see everyone getting their cards. Sadly, mine are waiting for me at home as I've been away on business for the past couple of weeks.
As others have carefully noticed by his COTG stamp and giant promo, he is absolutely a GWF guy. We didn't want to make him a full-blown BD guy cause honestly, I don't know how long that era will last, and not everyone is caught up. So even though UMB totally jives with the BD era, he was designed to work in pretty much any GWF year you want, and CHIKARA. Totally cool. (I will admit he was carefully strapped with the Inverted Chikara Special. Seeing as the Three use the Ground Zero/The Chikara Special...take that for what it's worth...)
Very much looking forward to seeing how fans use him and how the new Ultramantis Black does across the COTGalaxy.

hmmm, Would it not be cool to star the GWF from scratch with Ultramantis Black.....? And with his awesome power he could still be wrestling during the Black Death..... So MIGHTY is the Master!!!!!!
Now I just need Crossbones.

Now I just need Crossbones. That's a really interesting idea. Ultramantis Black would find the perfect lackey in Ghengis Khan if he were around in the 2080s. He would be a natural to lead the Masked Assassins, too. I can also see him fitting in well in the 2100s during the cosmic struggle between the realms. Imagine him alongside the likes of Turge, Korsus, and Cyclopes. As he has apparently figured out a way to time travel he really could show up anytime. |

Ultramantis Black arrived in Hawaii today. Got #34.
I really do like the link from B&W to Color on this card...Werner definitely got 10 out of 10 on this one! Then again, i think he has been on the mark with color for every character since the transition.
