10 Most Underrated MCU Characters
2. Mantis
Soon after her introduction in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.2, Mantis explains that she was taken from her home when she was very young. Life with Ego is all she remembers.
However, with very little encouragement, she completely gives up the only world she knows in favour of warning the Guardians. For someone so sheltered, that was a very brave move. Then she manages to put a whole living planet to sleep, allowing the rest of the Guardians the time they need to regroup and come up with a plan to stop Ego.
In Infinity War, Mantis even manages to briefly put Thanos to sleep. Although it takes a lot of effort, she actually holds the Mad Titan down quite well, almost long enough for the other heroes to take the Infinity Gauntlet from him.While she appears only briefly in 'Avengers: Endgame, Mantis manages to join her fellow super-heroines in an epic team-up during the final battle.
Mantis is one empath who definitely deserves more respect.
