[@ZZtheDark]

The only way I could think of Dr. Manta to be in the Marvel universe is that he and his island can be something from the Savage Land or something close to that. He fought against the X-Men and after losing a fight, retreated to somewhere near the waters of the Big Apple to recover his losses and since it's a big place, no one can ever hope to find him to cause any more trouble (or so he thought). He continues making experiments by kidnapping people at random and made life a living hell of the kidnapped he snatched away from different parts of the world to make his little island playhouse just for fun just so he can make himself king of the artificial island. How he does this is by brainwashing them, creating somewhat of a hybrid and replica of the Savage Land for familiarity and experimented on subjects hence Igor to make himself top dog. He has a tower that produces electrical radio waves to dupe the "citizens" that they're actually from that island. That is until Spiderman found out about said experiments and proceeds to take him out. One possible story I can make out if they ever wanna bring this dude back.
