Good grief...
That was a lot.
So many smart-arse remarks that could be made about this... er, story.
Slideshow would be more accurate, actually.

I just don't think Mantis's destiny of falling in love instantly with a tree and then having its tree baby is quite the impressive, life-affirming action Englehart seems resolutely convinced it is.
And then she becomes a deadbeat mother to a whiny genocidal twerp of a son.
Hooray for destiny(!)

Think Moondragon got the better deal being rejected, all things considered.
(Sure, she ends up possessed by the Dragon of the Moon, twice. But still the better deal!)

It's never a good sign when even the characters are commenting on the ridiculousness of the plot, such as the Avengers pointing out they've been reduced to glorified extras in their own freaking title.
(Except for Wanda.)

Avengers: Forever would later say this Kang is not actually The Kang, just A Kang, at least as far as Kang's concerned.
And who can blame him for wanting to keep this and all the other times Englehart wrote him off the CV?

Still, Englehart's gotten his actually kind of alarming Mantis obsession out of his system for the moment, so the Avengers no longer have to deal with someone forcing their way onto the team and being really obnoxious about it.
Except Moondragon.
But the narrative's not on her side.
Oh, and Patsy Walker...
