Lords of Empyre: Celestial Messiah

[Leoparis]

By Alex Paknadel & Alex Lins

Synopsis: Under the watch of his cotati father Quoi undertakes a purification ritual on the eve of battle. Mantis tries to dissuade him through a vegetal construct of herself while she's on a vessel on her way to Earth. To no avail.

Flashback page 4 montage of Mantis history (GSA 2, GSA 4, FF 325, WCA2 39, AnniC) reminder flashbacks

Flashback pages 6-9: Mantis & Swordsman are about to apply for Avengers membership but first Mantis must help Swordsman overcome his doubts. (added scene to A 114) characters: Mantis, Scarlet Witch, Swordsman

Flashback page 8 Swordsman Captain America = A 19 reminder flashback

Flashback pages 12-15 wedding and honeymoon of Mantis and Cotati Swordsman. new scene

Flashback pages 18-20 Quoi & his mother as a boy in Connecticut. new scene, after A:CQ 2 (11:4)-FB

Flashback pages 23-25 Star-Lord enjoins Mantis to use her mental powers to recruit Adam Warlock, Rocket, Gamora, Drax & Phyla-Vell. new scene.

Flashback page 27 Quoi's Cotati genes manifest in the presence of Mantis. new scene, following from 18-20, just before A:CQ 2 (11:5)-FB

Mantis appears in JLA 142 and Scorpio Rose 2. I have added them to construct her timeline. In case JLA 142 were included, it would replace the flashbacks in WCA@ 1-FB & SS3 4 (10:1)-FB.

I have put Mantis, Cotati Swordsman and Quoi's present after their last recorded entry. Mantis in particular might have more recent appearances.

Pages 23-25 mention Annihilation Conquest. In spite of the costume discrepancy, it must take place before the flashbacks in GOTG2 1-FB. In the latter flashbacks, the characters all agree easily to make a team. It also must happen after Mantis wakes up from her coma.
