#marvel mantis

There's a story in the comics in which Mantis briefly turns into a baby. I'm not sure what it's called, the whole arc was time/space nonsense with Starhawk. Point being, while baby Mantis was cute, she did not look like a bug.

Baby Mantis should look like a bug. So I tried to make a growth chart for Mantis, starting with a bug.

From left to right: Baby (0-12 months), Toddler (2-3), Small Child (5-8ish), Tween (10-13), Teen to Adult years (14+)

I love Rocket and Mantis’s dynamic in Marvel Rivals.

Mantis is a strange character, especially when I remember hearing Steve Englehart just took her to like every company. She's introduced as Mantis at Marvel. We learn she's the Celestial Madonna and she has her wedding with an alien clone of Swordsman (or something). And then Mantis vanishes from Marvel untill the late 80s or sometime in the 90s. But there wasn't the end for Mantis. No, not at all.

You see, around 2 years after her marriage at marvel, a character named Willow shows up in the pages of the Justice League of America. And let's be clear: Willow is Mantis. They look identical and speak with the same weird pronouns and both know martial arts. Except Willow is pregnant and tells the atom she must leave to give birth. So apparently she got pregnant with Swordsman.

Then, she goes from DC to Eclipse Comics. She appears in a book called Scorpio Rose. There, she's going by the name Lorelei and living in Connecticut raising her son. So really, Steve Englehart just carried Mantis all over the place. At the rate she travels, I half expect her to just randomly pop up in other fictional realms. If mantis showed up in the world of Percy Jackson or something, it would not shock me. Nothing does with her anymore.

Mantis and Peter’s sibling relationship is the hero we didn’t know we needed.

Shoutout to the time Mantis in the comics changed her name to Willow and moved from Marvel to DC in a massive breach of copyright law.

James Gunn, you have the chance to do the funniest thing in film history.

Mantis finally gets hitched! The double wedding of Mantis and Swordsman and Vision and Scarlet Witch! Plus: Mantis finally becomes an Avenger just in time to turn into space dust and begin her cosmic adventures travelling the galaxies. Next stop for her: DC comics in 1977 as Willow! (Giant-Size Avengers #4):

Watching the GotG Holiday special and –

OH MY GOD THEY CONFIRMED WHAT MANTIS IS TO PETER FUCK YES I LOVE IT

[chaoticace2005]

GotG Holiday Special really furthers the idea that Mantis and Drax are both ND. The inability to read social cues? Lack of boundaries? Misinterpreting what people mean? Trying to do something to help someone in a way that makes them concerned? Their entire relationship? “Here’s a candy cane- we’re equal now right? It doesn’t look like a man?”

Guardians of the galaxy comic recs? Or separate characters from that team like groot, rocket or Star lord? Please I’m making a list
