Praying Mantis



"Kekeke! My name is... eh?"

- Praying Mantis, seconds before being killed by Saitama

Praying Mantis is a minor villain from One Punch Man. He's one of the bio-engineered soldiers from the House of Evolution, and allegedly one of their strongest members according to Frog Man. He is a mantis-like humanoid with his exposed brain protected by glass.

Sent by the group to capture Saitama, Praying Mantis interrupts a conversation between Saitama and Genos by busting through Saitama's apartment's roof. He starts introducing himself, but is promptly attacked by a angry Saitama, who crushes his head with a single punch for ruining his roof.
