Psycho Mantis

Psycho Mantis is a psychic expert for the FOXHOUND unit.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, he came to America looking for a job.

Prior to joining FOXHOUND, he worked with the KGB and the FBI.

His special abilities include the psychic powers of psychokinesis and telepathy.

As a result of being disgusted with his father's inner thoughts, he burned his own village and started despising people.

He also claims to be able to read the future, but this is implied to be a use of telepathy to find out what his opponents will do next as opposed to true clairvoyance.

His predictions also seem to be susceptible to change, stating that Snake has a large place in Meryl's heart, but cannot see if their futures lie together.

In Metal Gear Solid, Mantis encounters Snake twice, the first time he takes control of Meryl's mind, the second encounter he and Snake do battle, with Mantis being killed.

After defeating Screaming Mantis in Metal Gear Solid 4, the original Mantis makes an appearance, attempting to "read your mind" and manipulate the controller as before, but cannot due to the advanced systems before vanishing into the air.

Drebin later reveals that the Beauty and the Beast Corps had been under the control of Mantis all along.
