The Viper then led a takeover of the Society's headquarters, the Serpent Citadel, aided by her operatives Boomslang, Coachwhip, Rock Python, and Slither. Four of her operatives, Black Racer, Copperhead, Fer De-Lance, and Puff Adder, caught the attention of Sidewinder in Las Vegas, and he invited the quartet to join the ranks of the Serpent Society. The Viper (Ophelia Sarkissian) plotted to take over the Serpent Society and enlist its members in her scheme to introduce a mutagenic chemical into Washington, D.C.'s water supply that would turn its citizens into insane reptilian creatures.
Sidewinder found Death Adder's corpse and ordered the other members to find the killer, though they never did. Death Adder was slain by one of the vigilantes known as Scourge while returning Princess Python to the Circus of Crime. She was captured and brainwashed to forget Society secrets, and was expelled from their ranks. Princess Python deserted the group during the M.O.D.O.K. The membership of the Society has changed considerably over time. established their reputation as hired criminal talent of the first caliber. The Society's success in killing M.O.D.O.K. Its first paying assignment was a contract from AIM on the life of the original M.O.D.O.K., AIM's renegade former leader.
The Serpent Society approached the Kingpin, the Maggia, Advanced Idea Mechanics, Hydra (AIM), and other criminal organizations for work. Anaconda later found Constrictor and beat him within an inch of his life as punishment. Ĭonstrictor was unimpressed by the proceedings and attempted to alert the Avengers.
This society would function not unlike a labor union in that it's members would receive a guaranteed pay, better access to technology, and insurance and health benefits. At an introductory meeting at a Manhattan hotel, which Viper refused to attend, Sidewinder laid out his plan: the various snake-criminals would band together as a single society. Sidewinder convinced Anaconda, Black Mamba, and Death Adder of the sincerity of his intention to help them better their lot, and sent them to contact Asp, Bushmaster, Cobra, Cottonmouth, Diamondback, Princess Python, and the Rattler. The society is the brainchild of Seth Voelker, alias the Sidewinder, who was inspired by three previous coalitions of snake-themed criminals, each named the Serpent Squad. The Society remains one of the best-organized, most successful coalitions of criminals in operation today. The Serpent Society is a business enterprise of criminals and mercenaries whose costumed identities are based on snakes.
