Ursula's Lieutenant

In ruling Atlantica, the sea-witch, Ursula, hires a number of aides. The Evil Manta is but one of them. He is summoned to arms during the Battle of Atlantica against Skeletor's faction, sending a number of his warriors to the front. Tri-Klops, however, easily downs these troops. The Manta himself hefts a massive boulder at several enemy combatants, stunning Evil Lyn and another warrior of Skeletor. The Manta meets defeat when confronted by an old enemy of Ursula: Merman. Though Manta tries to intimidate his foe, a blast from Merman's trident sends the manta tumbling into an abyss.

Revenge

The Evil Manta survives and seeks revenge on Merman. Sage Odin appears and presents the Evil Manta with a new trident. Evil Manta agrees to help Sage Odin oust Merman from power and seize a power crystal. Evil Manta engages Merman whilst Sage Odin sneaks up from behind. Manta effortlessly takes out Merman's henchmen and even blasts Merman himself. Before Merman can attack, Mer Man attempts to use the crystal's power. Hoever, it backfires, as Mer Man is soon forced to flee for his life. The power crystal soon causes the base to collapse. The Evil Manta gives Odin the crystal, though Merman is revealed to have survived.

Learning the True Meaning of Evil

Still remaining at the side of the Acolytes, the Evil Manta is soon approached by Mok Swagger, one of the manipulators of the Acolytes, asides from Stalker. Mok wants a bloody sacrifice, for the purpose to bring forth a demon, imprisoned from the previous war. and tasks the Evil Manta to retrieve the weaken firebender, Admiral Zhao. Knowing himself powerless, compared to Zhao's fleet, the Evil Manta awakes the giant whale, Monstro, convicing it to destroy the naval fleet of Zhao. While Monstro succeeds in destroying the ships of Zhao, it fails to capture Zhao. An enraged Mok pours out to Evil Manta, that if he would not bring Zhao, another person must be sacrificed, either him or his son, Little Evil. Thinking no other options, the Evil Manta decides to sacrifice himself. He has enough time to spare his last words to his son, before he would die at Mok's hands.

Stealing the Trident

Beneath the sea, the Evil Manta found the Trident in the possession of an eel salesman. Threatening the eel, Manta took the Trident, seeing a chance to turn his fortunes around at long last.

Failure Fourth

Hearing that Evil Manta had been spotted with the Trident in his possession, Marina del Ray sent Saleen out to dispose of him before he could make a claim to the throne. Saleen confronted Manta and taunted him, reminding him of his previous humiliating defeats, but only served to anger him. Manta used the Trident to summon a fearsome hammerhead shark to attack Saleen, but she used her magic to cause a rockfall that crushed the shark. Manta departed, vowing to return and make Saleen and her mistress pay for defying him.

Teaming with Sharkanians

On the run after his battle with Saleen, the Evil Manta stumbled upon the lair of the Sharkanians, forging an alliance with their leader, Emperor Sharga.

Failure Fifth

Knowing she had to strike at the Sharkanians before they attacked again, Marina del Ray met with the Glowfish, who told her that his mistress, a powerful Sorceress, would destroy the Sharkanians in exchange for a place in del Ray's regime. Agreeing, del Ray released the Sorceress from her imprisonment. Outside the Sharkanian fortress, the Sorceress encountered Evil Manta, wielding the Trident. Recognizing the weapon that had banished her long ago, the Sorceress tried to use trickery, promising Evil Manta that she would grant him the power he desired if he would give her the Trident. Manta refused, and the Sorceress attacked, draining his life and seizing the Trident for herself. Although Manta survived the attack, he had lost the most power he had ever had.

Battle of Atlantica

Emperor Sharga, the Sharkanian army, and the Evil Manta prepared for their strike on Atlantica using an immense ancient monster. Marina and Saleen discovered this and prepared for a final showdown with the Sharkanians. However, both sides were blissfully unaware that one of their allies, the Sea Witch Ursula was planning on using this opportunity to reclaim the Atlantican throne for herself. Marina released her pet electric eels for the upcoming battle. The Evil Manta charged at Saleen and managed to knock her from her carriage. Saleen then rose up on a massive waterspout for the battle. Marina threw an ink pellet in Emperor Sharga's face, blinding him and allowing Saleen to fire a high pressure jet of water at Evil Manta, knocking him out of the fight.

Disney vs Marvel Villains War - Part Three

Originally, Evil Manta was going to appear in this part of the war. However, due to the series' cancellation, he was scrapped alongside many other newcomers such as Lord Cutler Beckett and Maxim Horvath. Additionally, from what was seen in the trailer, he was shown alongside fellow Disney Villains Ursula, Mirage and Hecate, meaning that he would have possibly joined Ursula's alliance until the faction's defeat at the hands of Dr. Doom's forces.
