The Serpent Society

[HipHopAvenger]

I think a character just like this showed up in a New Warriors run.

Yea her name was Water Snake and i think they hinted at her being a clone of Namorita or something like that, but never came of it as it was canceled

[Thirteen]

That's just a Thunderbolts henchmen working for Kingpin. The other two are Puff Adder and Coach Whip.

AH! Thanks! I was reaching for a concept like "Electric Eel" to make him fit in with the Serpents (yeah, I know!).

[Nyssane]

Avengers #55 is out today!

spoilers:

The Serpent Society are possessed by Mephisto and go on a killing spree of Serpent Solutions employees. Nighthawk manages to beat them (not sure how, what are his powers?) and they're put in custody, but they're mentioned to have escaped and resumed their killing spree in their "snake god" (Mephisto)'s name. The lineup is: Anaconda Asp Black Mamba Bushmaster Coachwhip Copperhead Cottonmouth Death Adder (assuming it's Theodore Scott) Fer-de-Lance King Cobra Princess Python Puff Adder Rattler Rock Python Slither Viper (Stryke)

end of spoilers

Aaron never met a neat concept he couldn't dump on

Waste of a good team.

Jason Aaron has no idea, Nighthawk should've been in pieces, not only is this guy ruining the Avengers now he is effecting their villainous teams.

Yeah, low-level super-strength, at night, and a jet pack? Anaconda should be able to solo that. Certainly her and like, any ONE other Serpent Society member, except maybe Slither. I'm not sure what he brings to the table... (Ah, the good old days, when Anaconda, Black Mamba and Death Adder were a credible threat to people like the Thing and Iron Man!)

Oh look, Princess Python was there. Even though her son, the new Executioner of the Young Masters, killed her, like, years ago? :/

It really was a sad sight to see (read). I hate when writers dump on established characters to puff up their pets. What was even worse was that the SS seemed to be enhanced by Mephisto. So there's a coupe with super strength, a speedster, a dark force manipulator, etc, and this Batman clone handled them with his fist and ropes? Ok :eyeroll:

I guess he had prep time.

Out of all the characters at Marvel why would you choose to hype up the stupid knockoff of your rival's biggest character?

At this point I firmly believe Aaron is just taking the piss and wants to see how dumb his run can get before Marvel gives the book to another writer.

So this was uploaded three days ago:



In the name of TOAA, why did they make Rattler so chonky? And Bushmaster's an actual snake head?

Different universe..different appearance.

And I just want to say...EMH was so superior to Assemble.

[Ravin' Ray]

Different universe..different appearance.

I know… but not to my liking. Haven't seen a chonky rattler in real life.

The Serpent Society was presented as a coordinated and legit threat.

Take the win

We need more villains like that.
