Mantis is a strange character, especially when I remember hearing Steve Englehart just took her to like every company. She's introduced as Mantis at Marvel. We learn she's the Celestial Madonna and she has her wedding with an alien clone of Swordsman (or something). And then Mantis vanishes from Marvel untill the late 80s or sometime in the 90s. But there wasn't the end for Mantis. No, not at all.
You see, around 2 years after her marriage at marvel, a character named Willow shows up in the pages of the Justice League of America. And let's be clear: Willow is Mantis. They look identical and speak with the same weird pronouns and both know martial arts. Except Willow is pregnant and tells the atom she must leave to give birth. So apparently she got pregnant with Swordsman.
Then, she goes from DC to Eclipse Comics. She appears in a book called Scorpio Rose. There, she's going by the name Lorelei and living in Connecticut raising her son. So really, Steve Englehart just carried Mantis all over the place. At the rate she travels, I half expect her to just randomly pop up in other fictional realms. If mantis showed up in the world of Percy Jackson or something, it would not shock me. Nothing does with her anymore.
