Overview

Silver Mantis

Silver Mantis is an Arch-Villain who serves as Black Scorpion's lackey in the Arachnos faction.

Silver Mantis was born Tamura Shirai. She began modifying her body in her early teens. It began with tattooing and piercing but quickly she discovered a new form of modification. Metal fusion. Her interest in body modification quickly spiraled out of control, and eventually she found an artist willing to fuse smooth, sleek but incredibly strong metal sheets onto her skin. Augmenting her body consumed her, now altering her body compulsively with the finest metals . The cost was astronomical and so, like any addict, Tamura to a life of crime and began to steal to feed her habit. Her career started with petty crime, but she soon found that nothing was more important to her than being able to pay off the "specialist" she had found, not even human life.

Moving in criminal circles, she eventually encountered Black Scorpion during one of her robberies. Immediately enamored with his bio-engineered armor, she joined forces with him. She and Black Scorpion were a perfect match from the beginning. He is the ultimate expression of her obsession and she makes him feel like the most powerful being on the earth. It is not a surprise that Silver Mantis realized an opportunity when he saw it, and rather than fighting with Arachnos over the ill-gotten loot, formed an alliance that has lasted to this day.

As Black Scorpion’s assistant she quickly learned that she has a talent for murder. Her first kill was surprisingly well executed and soon the entire mercenary community realized that she had not only a taste for it, but a talent as well. With the taste of blood on her lips, the woman now known as Silver Mantis commissioned a new modification: deadly metal spikes fused into her body. Perhaps it is a mutant ability that allows her to fire the spikes from her body in bursts.

She is a Stalker, able to deal out massive melee damage to her unsuspecting enemies. Having somehow gained control over the metal spikes that are screwed into her bones. She also derives great pleasure in inflicting pain and torturing her victims before killing them. Her unbending loyalty to Black Scorpion makes her a deadly tool for Arachnos to exploit.

Silver Mantis has a brother named Nathan who appears in the Newspaper mission Kidnap Nathan.
