Death Adder

A member of the Serpent Society, this Death Adder is a snake-themed villain who operates within that criminal collective alongside fellow serpentine mercenaries like Cottonmouth and Anaconda, continuing the deadly legacy of the Death Adder name in Marvel's underworld.

A serpentine menace slithering out of the Copper Age, Death Adder made their Marvel debut in Captain America #367 in 1990, courtesy of the legendary Mark Gruenwald and artist Kieron Dwyer. Keeping dangerous company with the likes of Cottonmouth, Anaconda, and Blanche Sitznski, this character inhabits a world of hard-edged Marvel villainy that spans series from Captain America to Avengers: The Initiative and Battle Scars. With over three decades of appearances threading through Marvel's catalog, Death Adder is one of those rewarding deep-cut discoveries — a character whose presence signals that a comic is venturing into the shadowy corners where the real edge lives.
