Stop hand

So Yellow Ranger, you dare to challenge me to single combat? You have no chance against me, weakling!
~ Mantis

The Mantis was the mantis monster of the Evil Space Aliens serving Rita Repulsa and a minor antagonist in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. He was the titular main antagonist of the episode "Plague of the Mantis" and a minor supporting antagonist in the episode "Orchestral Maneuvers in the Park."

He was voiced by Barbara Goodson who also voiced Rita Repulsa and Mantis in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Orbus and Somnibot also in Zeo, Icy Angel in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, Notacon in Power Rangers Time Force and was the female voice of Mandilok in Power Rangers Wild Force.

Biography[]

After learning of Trini's martial arts prowess, Mantis is created by Finster and is ordered to destroy Trini at any cost. Mantis is extremely skilled in Praying Mantis Kung Fu and it is an expert warrior as well He confronts her in the woods and easily overwhelms her until her teammates arrive at which point the monster withdraws; calling her a coward and demanding that they fight later. Slightly later, Rita tricks Trini into the quarry by forging a letter from her mentor and she ends up confronting the Mantis. Although she quickly gains the upper-hand, the Mantis cheats by summoning Putty Patrollers because he has no honour whatsoever. Before they can destroy her though, the other Rangers show up and save Trini before they devastate Mantis with thier Power Weapons as Trini claws his eyes. Enraged, Rita enlarges the Mantis so they form the Dino Megazord but he has the upper-hand until they summon the Power Sword. With the weapon, they completely overwhelm the Mantis before destroying him with an energy slash.

Trumpet Top later generates an army of illusionary monsters to wear out the Power Rangers before he destroys them and the Mantis is amongst the illusions. Despite the illusions proving very effective, Zordon withdraws the Power Rangers and reveals the trick

Once and Always[]

Twenty eight years after his death, the Mantis is alluded when Robo-Rita Repulsa fights Trini's daughter Minh. After defeating the wannabe Ranger, she recognises Trini's Mantis Style Kung-Fu which was used against the Mantis.

Personality[]

Mantis was a cunning, intelligent and skilled fighter in battle but, despite his skills, she lacked honour and preferred to cheat in battle. He was surprisingly arrogant as he challenged Trini for a duel and promised her a fair fight but later told her that she really has no honour as he served Rita.
