Black

"Calypso, where did you go?!"

—Black, Twisted Metal: Black

Twisted Metal

Though not known yet, it is quite possible that Black from first Twisted Metal is the same one from Twisted Metal: Black. A creature created by Mr. Ash, it is powerful enough to destroy the world. If it is Black (the driver of the vehicle Manslaughter), then he was quite possibly stolen by Calypso to go to the Twisted Metal: Black universe (as stated in Twisted Metal: Head-On) and take out the other Calypso.

Twisted Metal: Black

In this game, the vehicle Manslaughter is driven by a man named Black. His face is completely covered (except for his eyes) by a thief mask with two zippers (looking almost like a gimp mask), one going along the middle of the top of his head and the other across his mouth. There is no information regarding his story, nor any connection with the other contestants.

Story

Black is on a mission for another person to locate and murder Calypso. However the person who sent him has never before been seen, or why exactly he is doing this mission. According to the original Twisted Metal created in the year 1995 , In TM: Black the entire storyline is darker, and is rerferred to as a "alternate universe," than towards the other Twisted Metal games. As stated, it is because it is all in Needles Kane's head. But there is even more to TM: Black. BLACK, driver of Manslaughter, made an appearance in Twisted Metal 1, Darkside's driver Mr. Ash's "lost" ending. In that ending he wants his demon "black" back, which makes one believe Mr. Ash is Satan. When he gets Black back, Calypso gets very upset. This is because Black is sent on a mission to kill a darker, more evil Calypso in the "Black" universe.

Ending

Black goes to Calypso's throne only to find that he is not there. He finds a time bomb with the note reading "Screw you! Love, Calypso". The resulting explosion destroys the entire bulding, but Black survives, seemingly unaffected. He then goes into Manslaughter and drives off, presumably to continue his search.

Twisted Metal: Lost

Not much is changed about Manslaughter in Twisted Metal: Lost. The only difference is that an attempt at a story for him was added:

No one knows where Black comes from, but he seems incapable of dying, and he has only one goal: to kill Calypso. The latest rumor is that Black actually comes from a parallel universe where a different, more colorful Calypso wants to use Black to murder his darker twin.

However, seeing as how Twisted Metal: Lost was never completed, this story is not considered canon.

Trivia

• In the first Twisted Metal, Mr. Ash, wanted to take back what's HIS, a demon named Black. Mr. Ash was the one who created Black.

• In Twisted Metal: Black, his character info states that he is 7 years old, meaning it's been 7 years since he was created by Mr. Ash, placing the story somewhere between the first and second Twisted Metal.

• As stated before if it takes place somewhere between the first two games, that could help the belief that Twisted Metal: Black is just in Sweet Tooth's head (As stated by Marcus Kane.) Because Sweet Tooth was assigned to Blackfield Asylum in-between the two games, it would also explain his burning head and mask.
