Mantis

Mantis es un personaje de ficción que aparece en cómics publicados por DC Comics.

Mantis es el líder de una colonia de insectos humanoides que emigró desde Nueva Genesis. A cambio de su lealtad, Darkseid le concedió un gran poder. Solía pasar tiempo en una cápsula de energía para recargar sus fuerzas, pero también podía absorber las energías que le lanzaba un oponente, como Green Lantern. En ocasiones, Mantis ha servido de secuaz a Darkseid y, como muchos de los habitantes de Apokolips, se ha rebelado alguna vez contra su amo.

Mantis aparece en el número 5 de la miniserie limitada Death of the New Gods. Se alía con el hijo de Darkseid, Kalibak, tras el asesinato de muchos dioses de la «Cuarta Era». En «Supertown», el dúo se enfrenta a Superman, Himon y el líder militar de los New Gods, «El General». Durante la batalla, Infinity-Man, actuando como agente del Muro de la Fuente, ataca. Aturde al grupo y mata a Mantis y a Kalibak arrancándoles el corazón.

Habilidades : Mantis is the second most powerful being on Apokolips, second to only Darkseid himself. Mantis is an energy vampire who can project tremendous blasts of energy and absorb virtually any form of energy or power source, including a power ring and the powers of a super being (as he did against the Martian Manhunter). He can even absorb magic, and can turn any energy against an opponent. He cannot, however, absorb Captain Atom's powers of radiation. Mantis can also teleport, open up his own boom tubes and he can charge matter with energy. Mantis' energy powers grant him with the ability to sense and detect energy, enabling him to even sense an opponent who is invisible. He can even strike beings who are intangible with his energy blasts. Mantis possesses a "thermal touch" which enables him to generate heat and he can create "frigi-blocks" which trap opponents in ice. Mantis' most dangerous power is his ability to generate antimatter. He can destroy anything he touches by creating antimatter in the object that he touched. Mantis can generate and build large amounts of cosmic energy through his power pod which he keeps underground and heavily guarded. If he uses up too much energy in a battle or becomes heavily injured, then he will flee to his power pod to recharge. Alongside his vast energy-manipulating abilities, Mantis also possesses vast super strength, durability and stamina. He also possesses super speed, agility and reflexes, flight, and like all denizens of the Fourth World, Mantis is immortal.
