  • Crap, I hate to triple post, but Im not saying they are both Freeman, because theres a picture in HL2 that has gman next to Freeman and a bunch of others as scientists.

  • Also, its really just a mindfuck that valve threw in. But I will contribute, both eyes are green. Im only pointing that out because green isnt a very common eye color.

  • Gman isn't even human. There is a quote about an alien from the first game saying you are human he is not he watch you watchs you....

  • I suppose Gman rocks blue contacts to cover "his" green eyes... A relative is more likely.

  • Another argument. For Gman is Alyx not important, but for Gordon Freeman Alyx is very important, he doesnt says anything, but I think so, because Alyx is so cute and nice to him. AND WHY GMAN JUST DONT SAYS GORDON FREEMAN THAT HE IS GORDON FREEMAN. THAT JUST DONT MAKE SENSE!

  • @11Aguilar11 @11Aguilar11 I don't think you can just bring up Adrian Shepard into this, because Opposing Force is non cannon. So it doesn't follow the official Half Life storyline.

    I couldn't make out what you mean with your last comment.

    But thank's for sharing your opinion!

  • @SpyroSan Actually OF does follow the main story-line, it shows what blew up black mesa and a lot more.

  • And what has Adrian Shepard to do with this? Why Gman wants removes every eyewitness of the resonance cascade from black mesa (Half-life: Opposing Force)

    G-Man is not Gordon Freeman, that would be too simple for Valve, there is something bigger. I think Gordon Freeman rescues himself from Gman. Gman will be enemy of GF and Gman will order Adrian Shepard to kill GF. GF stands for Gordon Freeman ^^

  • G-Man cant be Gordon Freeman.

    1.Gordon Freeman himself would know that Gman is he himself, than the game wouldnt make sense.

    2.Eli Vance knows Gman, he also knows Gordon Freeman, and he says that Gman is their enemy

    3.Vortigaunts are saving you from Gman

    4.Gman is doing bad things to you

    5.No Time machines ... They are still working on Portal technology

    6.Gman can put Gordon freeman into stasis, so he doesnt become older, so if gman puts GF forever in  stasis, GF cant get older and become Gman

  • I do not think Gordan Freeman is G-man because, at 1:40, you can see G-man has that natural V-shaped hairstyle that can't be altered.Buuuut.....on Gordon.......Nothing! All I'm saying is that that's my theory. :)

  • @TheFunnyGamePlayer1 its called a widows peak, and u are correct sir!

  • i doubt there is any relation though...

  • 1:48 I love how everyone uses that picture of Gman without the glasses/beard. Thats Beta artwork. Unfinished stuff. If its similar it doesn't matter. Unfinished business

  • @iwanabeawarcraftGM How can something be ´´beta artwork´´? It's concept art, or it is not. Not 'unfinished'.

  • Gman... is... Gordon's Father. That brings up the question, who's the mother? This sounds like a nice mod idea or possibly... Half-Life 3?!

  • Gman cannot be Gordan freeman, it is 100% impossible. There are too many genetic differences, hair color, widows peak, and eye color.

  • I know who is g-man.He knows the Gordon future,he is helpeing,he knows what will Gordon does willl do,so... G-man is trying to help Freeman,he changed his name,to Gordon dont see.G-MAN IS GORDON FREEMAN IN FUTURE!G(ordon free)-man

  • maybe gman is a part of gordan freeman....or related in some way to him

  • Gman is gordon's father o_O

  • Comment removed

  • @halomanalden untrue, widows peak is dominate so it could be Aa or AA in G-man while it is absolutely aa in Gordan... if G-man were Aa and gordans mom was Aa there would be a 25% of child being non-widow peaked.

    also could be brother

  • @deathbydouble Dang... got me there :/

    Side note, somehow I managed to post the one comment 5 times? -.-

  • Comment removed

  • Gman is god, Gman worked for black mesa (finances) , Gman is Gordon's father.. Gordon is jesus, you'll find that out in a secret game which will come secretly after hl2:ep3. isn't it obvious?

  • hey they will wrap it all up in ep.3 i hope they even explain the backstory(considering i dont have half life 1 XD)

  • Gee - you must have put down a lof of effort in the 3 mins you spent doing that picture.

    Btw - are you all slow? It was valve that named gman gman. First, it's in HL1 creds, second in the filelist - he's model is named G-man. So stop this Goverment Man theories. He's named by the game creators...

  • @Lymberic 3 minutes? I spend days on that pic, and it turned out perfectly.

  • @SpyroSan i think so the G man is the bad brother of freeman because one hate the other but nobody of twio tried to kill freeman gman or gman freeman

  • @SpyroSan

    answer me this

    G-man is Gordon from the future right?

    you know how Half life 2 would have ended if

    G-Man didnt stop time and let that building blow up?

    Gordon would have died

    so how is Gordon G-Man from the future

  • @MattisSoderstorm G-Man saved Gordon from dying, so the argument you just used is the opposite of what you're trying to say.

  • @Lymberic ...It was called G-man by them because of his 'government-like' appearance.

  • Nope i think that Gordon is just a supersoldier in a virtual training and gman is his instructor.....thats what i think because he pops out too much D:

  • looks nice and all but the thing is.. the point on G-man's "bangs" that is gene related. Gordon doesn't have it there for not the same people (forgot what it was called) and also in hl1 when you fight nilihra(or whatever) he says "you are man.. he is not.." he is talking about Gordon and G-man. there for G-man isn't even human so there for they can't be the same people.. (that's just my theory)

  • @Skilledman4 That's just everyone's theory .

    I personally think, there is no answer to G-man. He is simply a man created by valve to help narrate the game, and to be mysterious. Why would they make a character as mysterious as him? So they could sit back in their chairs and watch videos like this one, and laugh. [=

  • i think gman does not exists. its freeman that is wrong in his brain

  • gordon has green eyes brown hair

    gman has black hair blue eyes

  • @awesome3468 sometimes Gman has green...

  • @SpyroSan sorry to be annoying but could i have the song name please.

  • @meoldbamboo Yann Tiersen - Les Jours tristes

  • gman cant be gordan becuse gman has blue eyes and gordan has green

  • @CJTHECOOL5 I'm not really on either side, but still G-Man could wear contact lenses and dye his hair so Gordon doesn't get suspicious.

  • G-man cant be Gordan, look at the eyes. G-man's are blue and Gordon's are green.

  • I do not think that G-Man is Gordon Freeman.In the alternate ending to Half Life 1,G-man kills Gordon by sending him to an army of Alien Grunts without any weapons.Why would G-Man kill himself if he was Gordon?

  • Comment removed

  • @deadhawk1212 ''and everyone looks the same cause Valve was lazy.'' Do you even know how stupid that sounds?

    There is no ingame model of Gordon Freeman in HL2, so why would they base the Gman model on the concept art of Gordon Freeman.

    Think before you try to be a wise ass.

  • @SpyroSan

    thats something else I read XD

    but still the first thing was mine.

    Go off and tell the Video maker that he's a wise ass.

    Instead of doing something for your family, going out for a walk, or play TF2 "OH I KNO I KAN TALHK TO DIS GUY CUZ HE ST00PED YUKYUKYUKYUK."

    while I was just trying to go out find something that sounds like evidence and go off go for a walk and come home then play some Half-life.

    Jeez.

  • @deadhawk1212 Also, where in the game is said that Gman is a alien, who said Gordon is human?

    The player hardly knows anything about Gordon nor Gman, we just assume he's human, maybe he isn't.

  • @SpyroSan

    the alien thing is from another vid, and about godon being an alien, he was a normal employee at black mesa before the takeover.

    plus why would he kill his own species?

    Because there are 3 species = Human, Xen & Combine.

    he looks human to me doesn't he?

  • @deadhawk1212 Combine are humans, that´s why Nova Prospect was made. So the people could become Combine. Barney tells you that.

    Also, I never said Gordon was an alien. (read the post)

    And how do you know G-Man isn't a human, he looks human to me, doesn't he?

    And about the ending in Half Life, if he really is Gordon from the future, then he'll know that he would make the right decision. (but I gave up on this whole theory, so I don't really care anymore)

  • @SpyroSan

    ACTUALLY...

    the metro police are the only ones that are humans.... (sorry if im wrong I haven't played for a while now :O)

    the combine soilders and elites cut open the civilians and rip out their organs that they dont need (ex: stomach) thats why the soilder with no armor on looks so weird.

  • @deadhawk1212 But doesn't that mean that they are not another race..

  • @SpyroSan Well, they aren't human either after being modified.. I think it's more accurate to say that they were human, but they have been modified, so they are combine now.

  • @RakoncaFiu Yes, so that means that they are not aliens.

  • @SpyroSan

    dude no, as deadhawk1212 said there are 3 different races, the humans the xen and the combine

    the combine are the alien who have enslaved both the xen and the humans, and the police we know from episode 2 are ensalaved humans who work for the combine, we just don't know what a combine alien looks like (or maybe we do, i'm not sure)

  • @rexona2412 They use Nova Prospect to give people a 'combine surgery'.

    So the humans were made Combine.

  • @SpyroSan Exactly. In fact, I think the Combine is not entirely a race, but a Military force instead, which is made up of enslaved species from different planets. And the Advisors are the master species behind the combine. They are those who control. I don't really remember anyone directly say in HL2 or any of the episodes that the combine are a race of aliens.

  • the gman can't be Gordon because....

    SPOILERS----------------------­------------------

    at the end of half life 1 you stand RIGHT IN FRONT of him and talk.

    you make an offer remember?

    and 2, you always get these messages going through your head about him.

    oh and Gman can talk and gordon can't... well he wont.

  • Call me Crazy, but I think i found out the mystery...Remember Glados from portal? She had that strange way of speaking? Gman speaks in riddles too, and has a very unique style in speaking...It is very similar to Glados. So my idea is that the G.man is a robot with Glados' chip or 'brain". He is using portals so he can get close to Gordon.

  • the g-mans hair is darker than gordans

  • Gman has a Widow's peak, that's a dominant Gene and you can't suddenly "get" it

    This is why they are not the same person.

    Also the picture with the text was pointing out the reasons they can't be the same person

  • G-Man has blue eyes, Gordon has green. Case closed.

  • @HarduntheRanger

    Did you take a look at 1:38, those eyes look awefully green to me. Case closed.

  • @SpyroSan

    Sorry pal, you have no understanding of how lighting effects the appearance of eye colour appearance. Take a good look at the lighting, very carefully. Under the same spectrum lighting as Gordon to the right, Gmans eyes are blue. Case closed.

  • @SpyroSan yea gmans eyes look pretty green

  • Whats the music?

  • Comment removed

  • I'm sorry but to be honest people are treating this like it is difficult to work that out... if this is the case it's too damn obvious that it'll be disappointing.

  • Why is Gman lookin' SoOoOo FINE at 0:47?!

  • G = (Goverment) man = (man)

    Gman = goverment-man

  • Comment removed

  • G-Man was originally from the data files of HL1 which stood for "Government Man", Gordon freeMan is a complete freak coincidence (like Adrian Shepard characters being highlighted on the Portal keyboards) He wasn't even meant to be called G-Man officially, but the name stuck.

    I know crazy things do happen in the Half Life universe, but seriously, G-Man and Gordon the same person? Come on.

  • G-man has widow's peak...Gordon doesn't.

    They can't be the same.

  • if thos is true why can gman kill you in hl1 look at some hl1 ending vidios to see what i mean

  • @TheGhostlyboredom I know that you can get killed by gman, I've completed the game many times.

  • @TheGhostlyboredom G-Man being able to kill you in HL1 doesn't mean anything. Because once you die, you start over, so its like you didn't die to begin with. So really it doesn't count that he can kill you. The fact is, by the end of the story, you're still alive right. So really, you survived the whole game, and didn't die technically.

  • I don't think G-man is Gordon at all, not even hes dad. I mean... in episode one when all thoose vortiguls(bad spelling) try to save you G-man has a freak and tried to prevent them... What sort of "Dad" does that? Or even if G-man was Gordon,

    G-man would have died if he didn't let the vorts save him.... As far as I am concered its Garry Newman(Valve Owner)

    G-man

    Garry Newman

    xD

  • @Manmax75 That's incorrect.

    Gabe Newell is the owner of Valve, Gary Newman made Garry's mod. And he doesn't work for Valve.

  • @SpyroSan my bad, lol similar names. Thats where I went wrong :D

  • @SpyroSan gabe starts with a G too so Manmax75 is right

  • @StarTrippaKilla It says ''Garry Newman'', not Gabe Newell.

  • lol it was pretty funny when you put glasses on G-man

  • i think G-man is just a simple gay....he stalks gordon because he is in love with him.....thats even more scary....

  • @raketkalsong

    That must be it..

  • @SpyroSan

    i am proud of myself finding that out...

  • @raketkalsong

    *sniff* I'm proud of you aswell..

  • @raketkalsong yeah gman stands for gayman

  • 1. Becuse he know himslef was smart enough to not do that:P

    I think G-man is The father to Gordon

  • Gman gave gordon hell on his face, and offered a battle he cant win, so why would anybody do that to himself?

  • @fantamies Well, he'll know the outcome and maybe terrible things will happen if he didn't make himself do that.

  • you even said you gave up on this theory.

  • @legendarywar1 yep, I did.

    I kept this video on because I want to read people's oppinions.

  • i really don't see the point in this, partly because im still not convinced.

  • @legendarywar1 You don't have to be.

  • well then if i don't have to be convinced, why don't you remove it?

  • @legendarywar1

    Because of people actually liking the video.

  • Gman is not Gordon Freeman!

  • @torandreflo The easter bunny is not Santa!

  • he looks older and depressed in the 3rd photo

  • It's so obvious they aren't the same person! They used different people as models for the characters faces! If they were the same person they would use the same person as a model for Gmans face and Gordons. But they got one person as a model for Gmans face, and several people for Gordons that were put together.

  • song please

  • Has anyone ever noticed the same eye color of Gman and Gordon?

  • JOKE: G stands for government. G-man was one of the government leaders who met beneath Denver International airport every five years.

  • maybe the g in gman means Gordon, 0.o i doubt it though.

  • @zamham1234 g-man : g(ordon free)man

    BUT no, i dont think so. I think g-man means government man cuz SERIOUSLY, if g-man is gordon, then why in hl1 he would let gordon the oportunity to die at the end. Tell me if i'm wrong, but i think there IS a possibility to die at the end of hl1

  • (playing devils advocate)

    BUT, if G-man is Gordon, he would already know what Gordon would choose. He knows himself better than anyone else. It doesn't matter whether he could have died, the fact is, Gordon accepted.

    G-man knew he would, for, given the same situation, he would make exactly the same choice, even if G-man couldn't predict the outcome.

  • hmm true true. But still, i don't think they are related, they have some genetic difference.

  • well gman also says that freeman is only given the illusion of free choice; said in half life 2, which probably meant that the only way to truly defeat the first game you must go through the portal on the tram; which you the gamer after refusing the offer, will inevitably do. though i'm not supporting the fact the gman is g-ordan free-man, if you look at both of them, their facial structures are off

  • it cuold it coud be breen from a paralel universe

  • Uhh....thought i should throw out that its a game.

    Games are made by people, people have art styles and these two characters are in the same game by the ssame company. its not uncommon to see similar models in games by the same company. go to the BioWare website and look at the 2 guys...

  • my theory is that the g-man is gordon when he's older. so your playing half life 2 in the past,present AND future.

  • Comment removed

  • Gordon is not Gman peoples. Listen Nihilanth in hl1. He says: You are man, he is not man. For you he waits for you.

    (The truth you can never know the truth) its says something:)

  • your wrong

  • Is it just me or, does Half Life seem like one big government conspiracy?

  • @stevostevie *in the future * that can happen !!!

  • @stevostevie Gman means govermant man... search in dictionary to prove me right.

  • this is my theory.

    I think the g man is related to gordon freeman. He is from the future. Maybe a close future or a distant future. Because the combine is messin around with portals and the like g man had to intervene although can not have a direct involvement because of the laws of space and time. well thts wat i think anyway :D

  • 0:13 He looks kind mad

  • u know gman means goverment man?

  • I remain unconvinced.

    I am more than certain one can take the features of one of the nameless characters from half-life 2 and set it next to the gman's and find some zany hidden code in some random symbol on his shirt maybe that doesn't exist and presto nameless character 1099 is the gman!!!!

    Cant you see the resemblance!!!!

    And I don't get how I would go into the future to come back and make myself work for someone - remember - gman is an "employer" for some inter-dimensional unknown

  • it has been proved in-game that gordon is NOT gman, because the nihilanth says this: "you (gordon) are man, he (g-man) is not man..." so it means gordon is human, and gman is of a different race

  • "g-man" could also be just a practical joke from all those, who liked hl series, they gave us a mistery to think about...

  • about the theory i started at the begining, it is possible, that "gman" is actually an advisor or any other kind of alien being (or even something, that was on earth before, but was intelligent enough not to show itself to humans. JUST LET YOUR IMAGINATION LOOSE AND SOMEONE MIGHT GUESS A CORRECT THEORY.

  • i agree with that comment about him checking on gordon. and there is one more thing, it may be someone, that gordon knows in the future or something and gordon (or someone else or he just goes for it himself) asks him to lead him through all the things gordon has to do to save humanity, like a time circle, get it?

  • perhaps "gman" is not really what he is suposed to be, maybe he only shows himself to gordon in this shape, because gordon is affraid if him, mind he is sitting at a desk in an black mesa office and telling gordon about him doing something that affected Alyx in the future.

  • agree 100% i found all hl story.. there was said that gman was humonoid.... :D

  • What discussion?

  • i wish i was gman

  • G-man isnt Freeman maybe he is Freemans "gardian Angel" that wants to make sure that freeman is all ways alive

  • 25-75 chance gman isnt gordon because 1 simple reson WHY WOULD GORDON SHAVE!?!?!?!

  • good point

  • Why wouldn't he... Maybe he shaved himself so Gordon wouldn't recognize himself.. Would mess things up, right?

  • In the start of HL1 when they are giving Gordons information they say his administration is unknown or "classified" so as how no one knows who Gman is I do believe he leads Gordon the direction hes supposed to go and do the things he is supposed to do. That's why Gman pops up around the game. Making sure Gordon is doing what hes supposed to and talking to people he will run into to tell them what to say.

  • i agree

  • hair and eye color are different along with dna jk but seriously hair and eye color are

  • Gman is supposedly Garry Newman ? What ?

  • you brought me to a brand new theorie of ... hm idk what word it is... well in german its called "verschwörung"... kinda theorie.

  • Verschwörung means Conspiracy.

  • Probably yes :D

  • They look a like, both have green eyes but still thats not hard enough evidence.

    Only time will tell, but i would'nt be suprise if their is a massive secret or suprise at the end which would be great !

    5/5.

  • Thanks!

  • G-man=Gordon freeman... no point -.-?

  • I think valve is going to keep the personality and history of Gordon as vague as possible, since the player assumes his identity, and "becoming Gordon Freeman" has been a pretty big part of all the half-life games. That's why I think G-man isn't related to Freeman except as a controlling and mysterious force.

  • i agree

  • and the same colour eyes. i dont know how he would change that?

  • Jesus, if G-Man was gordan, he'd have glasses and a beard.

    /endrant

  • Jesus, if you played the game you would know the main character's name is GORDON.

  • His eyebrows and ears ... simply not excatly the same person !

  • They are not the same people.

    Valve won't use it now since this ''rumor'' has been going around pretty heavy and if they had the idea of G-Man being Gordon from the future they would probably scrapped the idea long time ago because all the fans predictions.

    They probably want to take the fans by suprise.

    So G-Man could be the hero from Opposing Force.

    Remember he was detained, and G-Man said he was like G-Man himself.

    We'll see if we get the answer in Episode Three.

  • Gman looks like the cigarette smokin guy from X-Files :)

  • 1:54

    Gordon is Freddie Mercury!!!

  • That couldn't be possible, because, it will be a time paradox of replicate,is teoracly impossible to a person be in two places at the same time,also if ever Gordon see G-man, they would desapear, example, if Gordon is at a Bridge killing a Headcrab, and G-man is at a tower talking to a combine, as they are the same person, Gordon wouldn't be at the bridge killing a Headcrab and G-man couldn't be talking to the combine at the tower, as he is Gordon and Gordon is G-man, they couldn't even exist!

  • well gman and breen ect are always making portals to different locations and time zones. how dont we know gman is freeman but ported back in time to do somethiing

  • if this is true then g-man is a very old version compared to the young version, because g-man version is much skinnier in his face. so if the gordon from the future tries to help the young gordon (which hasn't really been shown so far), that would mean that hl3 might be about this idea about timetravelling.

    but that'll be all the way 2014/15 or something... sigh...

  • freeman see gman cuz hes high... nuff said :)

  • @canyondavis best theory yet.

  • kthnxlol

  • nice video! however i belive, that G-man is not ralated to gordon freeman at all. in fact G-man most likely stands for government-man, however to keep G-man as a mysterious and little know about charecter, Valve those to keep the name, as a short, since it creates more confusion.

  • Thank you.

    I hope he will remain a mystery.

  • reading through your commens make me lol cause you all have no idea what your talking about

    for starters godans face in half life 2 is made up of chrcter istics frm 5 differet people that work at valve... i wouldtype rest but im on a laptop and cba peace out do your research

  • gman is gordons brother i think.

  • Gman is gordon and alyx son

    hence why he saved alyx

  • wait, gman rescued alyx for his own purposes, and then got rid of her father... SUSPICOUS?

  • @mrfriendly567 ok i tell u the story of y gman took alyx father away in hl2 ep2

    here gos :Gman took alyx father away to save gordon's life or he would be killed because of the advisors if u played hl2 ep2 that is :)

  • hes a some sort of..agent for a higher power,as he talks about his employers.gordon is merely a tool,but one whom may stop him.maybe there will be a showdown between him and the G(government) man.

  • the widow peak was really just a screw up for valve b cuz in half life 1 he has it so they added it in episode 2 but they didnt pay attention to gordons little details and they wanted gman to look like the original so they just gave him the widow peak like in the first one
