Death Adder

Death Adder is a mute, reptilian supervillain who serves as a deadly enforcer within Marvel's snake-themed criminal organizations, including the Serpent Squad and Serpent Society. Surgically altered to possess a powerful tail, gills, and razor-sharp claws, he is a formidable silent threat.

Born from the Bronze Age imaginations of Mark Gruenwald, Ralph Macchio, George Pérez, and Gene Day, Death Adder slithered onto the scene in Marvel Two-in-One #64 in 1980 and has been a fixture of Marvel's villainous underworld ever since. A card-carrying member of both the Serpent Society and the Serpent Squad — as well as A.I.M. — this reptilian menace runs in genuinely dangerous company, sharing pages with the likes of Anaconda and Captain America himself across a catalog that stretches a remarkable four decades to 2022. With two key collector issues to their name and a presence felt across Captain America, Marvel Two-in-One, and Avengers by Jason Aaron, Death Adder is the kind of Bronze Age bruiser that rewards deeper digging — a sinister, serpentine piece of Marvel history that serious collectors won't want to overlook.
