Mantis

Mantis is somewhat naïve, showing no offense when Drax the Destroyer refers to her as Ego's pet and not understanding what a practical joke is or that she embarrassed Peter Quill by revealing his attraction to Gamora. This is probably due to her being isolated with Ego for most of her life. Despite this, her use of higher-level vocabulary shows she bears intelligence. She holds a passive demeanor, always bowing her head in Ego's presence and being hesitant to attack anyone. This inevitably resulted in her having low self-confidence needing Drax to goad her on in using her powers against Ego. In spite of her loyalty to Ego, she was unable to condone him slaughtering his own children eventually telling the Guardians of Ego's true plan and working with them to thwart him. Even years later, her naïveté persisted as shown by her practicing a "mean face" after Quill sarcastically told the Guardians to do so as they neared the wreckage of the Statesman. Much like Drax, she was blunt to the point of open honesty telling Iron Man, a presumed enemy at the time, that Drax was unlikely to survive his Repulsor Cannons. Mantis was almost entirely non-malicious instead approaching Spider-Man out of curiosity. Despite her lack of weapons, she was a brave individual openly jumping at Thanos in spite of the Titan possessing four Infinity Stones and later using her powers to subdue him. Though maturing, her child-like mind-state still persisted as, in spite of Thanos' imminent arrival, she took advantage of Titan's fluctuating gravitational fields to mimic the effects of a trampoline. Mantis, while generally having a calm personality, is easily angered by Drax, possibly due to the fact that Drax was her closest friend. Since Drax was the one who encouraged her and supported her when she was still serving Ego, she acts most comfortably around Drax. Mantis was very protective of Drax who would often get into arguments with Nebula and other Guardians, as Mantis and Drax has a very close bond and a near sibling relationship, and the fact that Drax was able to embrace his self. Even while fighting the cops when she and Drax attempted to bring Kevin Bacon to Knowhere, Mantis didn't want to kill them, but just put them to sleep, however, while fighting real enemies, Mantis is willing to take violent measures, such as when she made a Orgosentry to start shooting at her allies, resulting in several fatalities, and when she viciously attacked the High Evolutionary's subordinates, killing many enemies. After all the years with the Guardians, Mantis became more caring towards the other members, especially Peter Quill who was her half-brother. Initially, Mantis hesitated and didn’t want to tell Quill as she was afraid that will make them distant. Mantis is shown to be very considerate as she wanted to cheer Star-Lord up and hence decided to go to Earth during Christmas time in search for a Christmas present, even kidnapping Kevin Bacon to make Quill happy. She also expresses her consideration by preparing Christmas lights and decorations to decorate Knowhere for celebrating the holidays. Eventually, she told Star-Lord the fact that they were siblings and they developed a much closer relationship, with Mantis as Star-Lord’s actual family. Mantis did not have her own purpose her entire life before leaving the Guardians. As Ego’s daughter, she followed Ego’s orders blindly and acted as a servant to the Celestial. Even after joining the Guardians, she did not have her own purpose too as she only followed the Guardians and worked with this close-knit family, and did everything only for the interests of the group, neglecting her own. After all the adventures with the Guardians, Mantis seeks to find her own purpose in the universe and leaves with the Abilisks in search of this, saying an emotional farewell with the Guardians and especially Drax who broke into tears.
