[edit] MOTU minicomics
In the minicomics, Mantenna is the least featured of the four original Horde warriors, since his only power are his pop-out eyes, useful for reconnaissance, but not to make him a menace for 13 pages.
[edit] She-Ra: Princess of Power
When the Horde appear in the She-Ra series, Mantenna retains his "spy sight" from the minicomics, and can fire energy beams of different varieties from his eyes, such as stun beams, gravity distortion beams, and freeze rays. Mantenna is a nervous stuttering imbecile mainly used for comic relief, with a running gag that Hordak frequently sends him down a trap door in front of his throne for any number of reasons. Although, once or twice Mantenna actually turns the tables on Hordak and sends him plummeting down his own trap.
[edit] 2002 MOTU series
Mantenna and the other original Horde warriors are featured in a flashback in the episode "The Power of Grayskull". While not featured heavily, his appearance is far more serious and evil looking than it had been in She-Ra. A mini-statue of Mantenna has recently been released by the Four Horsemen, based on their unreleased toy design.
[edit] Other media
Mantenna appears in the Robot Chicken episode "Slaughterhouse on the Prairie" voiced by Seth Green. He accompanies Grizzlor into attacking the Whispering Woods and slaughtering the Twiggets only to be beheaded by She-Ra.
[edit] Trivia
Although Mantenna had four legs, the action figure has the legs molded together in twos, making it possible to seem at casual glance that he only has two legs.
