Roland Burroughs

Roland Burroughs is a Marvel villain who has affiliated himself with multiple criminal organizations, including the Serpent Society, the Serpent Squad, and A.I.M., establishing himself as a persistent underworld operative across the Marvel universe.

Roland Burroughs made his Marvel debut in 1980's Marvel Two-in-One #64, a Bronze Age introduction crafted by the formidable team of Mark Gruenwald, Ralph Macchio, George Pérez, and Gene Day. Over a publishing span stretching more than three decades, this villain carved out a niche in Marvel's underworld, earning membership in not one but three notorious organizations — the Serpent Society, the Serpent Squad, and A.I.M. — a résumé that speaks to a persistent, dangerous presence on the wrong side of the law. His world is populated by heavy hitters: he shares pages with the likes of Death Adder, Anaconda, Blanche Sitznski, and none other than Steve Rogers himself, with his adventures playing out most prominently across Captain America, Marvel Two-in-One, and Punisher. With 17 catalog appearances and two recognized key issues to his name, Roland Burroughs is exactly the kind of deep-cut Bronze Age antagonist that rewards the dedicated collector willing to dig into Marvel's richly populated criminal ecosystem.
