I am assuming that this is the son of Swarm... still, the promise of something new in terms of game mechanics is intriging. I wonder what it will be. I know it isn't that if you roll a certain number, Mantis will eat your head, because that's just for the lady mantises. Still, I am looking forward to this, and am willing to go out on a limb - Mantis may be a major rookie sensation in 2124. If he can have a breakout first year, it will truly live up to the old adage, like father, like son.

Why are you assuming it is Swarm's son. Didn't it say he had just got a job with the ring crew?

He could be Swarm's son. We'll know soon enough. If it is, I can't wait to see what Tom's got in store for us...and for the AniMen team.

I don't think it will be swarms son ... I see the son coming down the line and getting a name like Wasp, Hive, Sting or something like that!

Now, I may have missed this, but was it said somewhere that Mantis was a he? I'm just saying because when I think of praying mantis' the first thing I think of is how brutal the female of the species is. Have we had an official Animan woman yet?
Again, I may have missed somewhere where Tom said 'he' in relation to Mantis, but this is a thought.

Yeah Grant, Tom did say "he" when he first introduced MANTIS on a Twitter update. So it is a male wrestler. Although I agree, the whole female bites heads off thing is really disturbing.

Totally off-topic, but Mantises only do that in very specific circumstances.
Yeah, I thought that Tom had said somethign about Mantis being male though I didn't feel like trying to track down where I saw it.

After Mantis Wins Roll two Dice. Result: 1-11 - Mantis stalks back to the dressing room. Roll 12 - Mantis bites the head off the opponent. Opponent is dead. Remove the card from your fed. Tear the card so head is removed from body. Mail back to Fed HQ.

That would be funny Grant. I honestly don't think it's Swarm's son though...I think this is Vin Strutter's next big move...
