Character Series #2 - Mantis
"I cut deep. You don't."
Messing around on an Mobians.Ai. The same one I use for the Mega City Alpha bots. Figured I might use some of the backlog.
Let me know if you want these smaller bots between my bigger ones.
With a lot of my favorite creators either leaving or getting shafted recently, I kind of scared to post recently, but I am keeping on.
Just understand that these will be bare bones I terms of story. These are just appetizers after all.

BIOGRAPHY
Mantis is a vat-grown Bioman who was originally created to work as security in an underground military facility with an advanced security system. However his cybernetics malfunctioned during a botched maintenance round. He gained free will, murdered the head of security and freedom his fellow Biomen. After the liberation, he used the facility for the production of weapons for the Biomen to use. He now
PERSONALITY
His Mantis persona is described as having a cruel side to his character, as he loves to see his opponents suffering from being slashed by his scythes after lurking in the darkness and taking them by surprise. To him, good and evil are nonexistent, even though aware of the fact of his evil actions despite him truly believing in his understandable cause. He showed a kind of affable appreciation for Superheroes and particular law enforcement agents as well, wishing they could join him. He also admires naive optimism. When not cruel, Mantis himself is cynical but realistic, and is very truthful and honest with the reasons for his actions.
POWERS
His extremities constantly produce an obsidian-like substance as well as a gold like metal that he sheds periodically like snakeskin.
Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass known for its ability to fracture into razor-thin edges. As such, he can sharpen them into blades and spikey armor. While brittle, the obsidian breaks off into shards that can still lacerate. Although his obsidian is notably stronger than natural obsidian, able to stop bullets with only superficial damage.
If he needs something more durable, he can instead make his gold carapace. It's heavier, but unlike real gold, is not a soft metal
If his shell is breached, he can consciously grow more if either obsidian, gold, or usually, a mixture of the two as needed.
ABOUT THE BIOMEN
The Biomen are genetically engineered, artificial life forms; in essence test tube babies, created in laboratories by the European Union and as essentially living robots, having all the intelligence of a human with no kind of disloyalty or much in the way of will.
However, the process to create them was imperfect, resulting in nearly all facilities turning on the personnel and forming their own societies, even successfully repelling all attempts to reclaim the facilities they were stationed at.
Today, the Biomen are a closely guarded secret of the Biomen have control of multiple facilities and colonies, throughout the European Union, including but not limited to,
France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, and Poland
