So, Mantis will be a new addition to the team in the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 movie, so I expect she'll be back in comics in no time.
I was always interested in the character and have read many of her 70's appearances and more recent stuff from DNA' GOTG run.
How do you like your Mantis?
Powers - I prefer the ass kicking martial artist, with empathic abilities, versus the too powerful telepath, telekinetic, plant controller she was depicted as later on.
Appearance - I like her with an Asian complexion, not green, with groovy antennae!
Movie Look - how ya like her potential movie look, shown here in GOTG 2 concept art?
