I'm so glad you asked this because I was wondering the same thing .... Meltzer says his finest work was in Japan. You should look that up. He's been around for decades. I was unaware that other promotions had used an Invisible Man character. This leads me to believe that he's public domain. However, if somebody did have The Invisible Man wrestling character trademarked they probably could sue Filsinger Games for infringement if permission wasn't granted.(That would be an interesting case for a judge to hear!) I remember several years ago Shark Boy (who owns the rights to that name) filed a trademark lawsuit against the movie studio that made that Adventures Of Shark Boy & Lava Girl movie. I never found out if he won that case or not. |

Yeah, the Invisible Man has wrestled in a number of feds outside of GCW, I remember a couple of years ago the Invisible Man wrestled in a match at an FSW show I attended. |

In wrestling it's been done all over the place for years, including in Japan, and Cheech and Chong even wrestled him in a skit in a movie over 40 years ago (Next Movie, 1980). It's not new and not at all original. |

IMO, if either Kikutaro or the Invisible Man win this poll, the other card should get released in early 2024 so we can replay their feud they had with each other in GCW.

After some more deep thinking on the matter, I have come to the conclusion that it has to be the Invisible Man. Werner or whoever does the amazing art on our cards deserves a Christmas gift from us and picking the Invisible Man is it. It gives him an easy card to do. Just make the front all one color or at most, draw a stick figure and say that it is a rendering of what he is BELIEVED to look like. Invisible Man for the easy drawing/art.

IMO the way to go is just the FG Indie background. Or maybe make it look like it's a curtain with impressions of hands and a head like they are pushing out from behind it. |

If you have FITE+, you can watch Santana Jackson tonight take on Dan the Dad at GCW. I won't be watching though as I am going to a show at the Nerd Bar downtown tonight.  |

Now, if they want to go all in on the drawing I picture it as a random wrestler on his back in the ring, his leg up in the air as if it is being hooked and a confused referee down on the mat starting his count. |
