So there’s an episode of The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special that features a scene where Mantis tells Drax that she’s Star Lord’s little sister. According to Mantis, as a good sister, she should be able to cheer up her brother who hasn’t celebrated Christmas in a long time.
This is where Drax came up with the idea to make Bacon a gift. Before they went to Earth, Drax asked why Mantis didn’t tell Peter Quill that she was also the child of Ego the Living Planet.
Mantis replied that she didn’t want Peter Quill to remember his father killing his mother, and end up hating him. Although she was hesitant to tell this fact to Star Lord. But finally Mantis was honest and fortunately Stard Lord accepted Mantis as his sister.
Mantis Daughter of Ego the Living Planet?
If you remember, in The Guardians of the Galaxy 2, we were told that Mantis was still a larva. She lived as an orphan before Ego adopted her. Since then, Mantis began to live together with Ego where Ego told Mantis to use her powers on him.
At that time, Ego was stressed out and his mind was in turmoil because he couldn’t find Star Lord. So he needed the power of Mantis to calm his mind. Although not mentioned as a biological child, Ego acknowledged Mantis as his child.
In Marvel Comics They’re Not Siblings
After knowing that in the MCU Star Lord and Mantis are siblings, you must want to know if they are also siblings in Marvel comics? According to the information we got, they are not siblings. The problem is that in Marvel Comics they are not children of Ego the Living Planet.
Mantis is the child of a human couple named Gustav Grant and Lua Grant, who were once the subject of Kree experiments until they became what they are today. Meanwhile, Peter Quill is the son of the prince of Planet Spartax named J’Son and an Earth woman named Meredith Quill.
Although they are not originally siblings, Star Lord and Mantis have a very close relationship. Mantis was the first person Star Lord recruited when he founded Guardians of the Galaxy.
