Behind The Scenes

Portrayed

• Mantevil is voiced by Michael McConnohie.

Notes

• Mantevil's name comes from the words Pray-Mantis and Evil.
• Mantevil is the first and only monster to be faced by three Megazords.
• Mantevil is the second monster to get fought a total of three times, the first being Trifire.
• Mantevil is the second monster to be based on an insect, the first being Thunderclaw.
• The reason that Mantevil was immune to the Omega Lance's double slash was because his counterpart had possession of the Infinity Card (having previously belonged to an unadapted monster named Endurance Psyma Beast Garubaria) who had granted it information to the Megazord's finisher and therefore he was completely protected against it. His destruction by the Lighspeed Solarzord and Super Train Megazord was also why they were useless against Infinitor .
