Mantis

A cosmic presence in the Marvel Universe, this Mantis made her catalog debut in Force Works #19 in 1996, brought to life by the creative team of Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning, and Hector Oliveira — names that would go on to shape some of Marvel's most beloved cosmic storytelling. Emerging in the Copper/Modern Age, she keeps remarkable company, sharing pages with powerhouses like Iron Man, Scarlet Witch, and Crystal across titles including Force Works and The Avengers. With appearances stretching nearly three decades to 2023, she's a quietly persistent figure in the Marvel tapestry — and for collectors hunting complete runs of these series, she's a character well worth tracking down.
