Mantis, from "DC Comics - Super Powers" collection, includes the following accessories:
The Mantis figure is part of the second wave of figures in the Super Powers collection produced by toy manufacturer KENNER between 1984 and 1986.
This figure was distributed in several countries, so there are some differences in the blister packs. Some editions included a comic book or different offers such as the Clark Kent figure or Superman's cape.
Like the other figures in the collection, the Mantis figure had an "Action Feature" whereby when you squeeze its legs, its arms move.
Mantis is the leader of a colony of humanoid insects that migrated from New Genesis. He usually spends his time in an energy capsule, where he can recharge, but he can also absorb the energies of his opponents, such as Green Lantern.
Mantis helps Darkseid create the first Secret Society of Super Villains, and appears in issue #5 of the limited series "Death of the New Gods." There, he teams up with Darkseid's son, Kalibak, after the murders of many gods of the "Fourth Age."
