Description
When Wanda is accosted in public by a group of construction workers because of her relationship with the Vision, she is aided by a female martial artist called Mantis. Returning with Wanda to the mansion, Mantis introduces her companion, the Avengers' long-time foe, the Swordsman, who claims he has reformed and wishes to join the team. Over Captain America's objections, his teammates decide to offer the Swordsman probationary standing, and he passes all tests with flying colors. No sooner is he accepted, though, than he and Mantis make mystic contact with the Lion God. who invades the mansion in gigantic form. At first the Swordsman and Mantis appear to be his allies, helping to fell the other Avengers so that he can execute the Black Panther, but then, before he can do so, they mesmerize the African deity long enough for Iron Man to trap him in an adamantium cylinder. Sensing the Lion God's invisible presence soon after she arrived, Mantis had planned all along to lure him into a premature attack, then engineer his defeat.
