I'm getting the sense that they made him a member just to sweeten him up and keep him happy and on their side. He does command a fairly substantial army. ...Or you should read up on the character. Manta's entire mission statement is freeing black slaves essentially and giving them back a nation. It makes complete sense for him to irk up at pasty folk telling him that he's their slave. Comics and YJ are not necessarily the same thing (black beetle, for example). You do have a point, but my theory is also plausible. I'm not sure they'd want to bring race into a saturday morning cartoon show like that.
