She was on a secret airforce experimental spacestation, The Olympus. The Olympus was to be a weapons platform incase another Skrull attack occured. However the xenophobic commanding officer fired on the first starship they ever saw. This happened to be the Shi'ar ship that abducted Christopher and Katherine Summers. Melissa froze. Her desire to see alien culture and technology caused her to warn the ship of her CO's intentions. The Shi'ar captain used a teleport beam to transport her to his ship then destroyed the satellite. Feeling she had let her entire planet down Melissa (who had mutant powers she'd never told anyone about) fell into a fit of depression. It was during her debriefing from a member of the Imperial Guard, a pink skinned Kree named Titan, that she fell in love with the noble warrior. After some clever arguments by Titan, Melissa was allowed to be a member of the Imperial Guard under his custody. She has served with distinction ever since. Height: 177cm (5'10"), Weight: 60kg (132 lbs), Sex: Female, Age: 28, Race: Homo Superior (Earth Mutant) Appearance: Manta is tall and lithe with a yellow and black costume highlighteb by an enormous black cloak with yellow lining.
