How many characters from the Golden Age of comics have been forgotten? The beginnings of publishers like Marvel y DC It was an explosion of creativity, in the good and the bad, since some of the most famous superheroes of today were born. However, many other ideas were barely captured in the cartoons.
That is the case of Mantor, the magician, which we could see in a short story of Human Torch #2 in 1940, that is, 84 years ago. His time at La Casa de las Ideas was so fleeting that he never made an appearance again, but now, in the middle of 2024, he has appeared in Scarlet Witch #1. All in all, his fate is not the most dignified we have ever seen.
As collected from ComicBookthe publication by Steve Orlando, Jacopo Camagni, Frank William and Ariana Maher shows how Mantor has been recruited into Wanda Maximoff’s Emporium.. His role is to appraise mysterious objects, although he must suddenly defend clients from a sudden invasion of supernatural beings. Thanks to his abilities related to transmutation, Mantor feels confident that he can face the threat, but… you better see for yourself.
Indeed, a huge block of metal instantly crushes him and leaves him in a pulp. This is the return that no one asked for from Mantor, which was created by Al Gabriele during World War II. His contribution to the Marvel world on Earth 616 was helping a young woman discover that she was being scammed into believing that her father’s mansion was haunted.
The origin of her powers, nor their limits, were never known, but it is most likely that they are due to a mutation, like the Scarlet Witch. A very fleeting and quite forgettable cameo.
