Snake

Slithering onto the scene in the pages of Alpha Flight #68 in 1989, Snake is a Copper Age Marvel creation from the creative team of James Hudnall and John Calimee, emerging from one of Marvel's most distinctive team titles. With appearances spanning an impressive seventeen years — right through to 2006 — this character proved durable enough to earn a place in the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z, Marvel's definitive roster of its universe's inhabitants. Sharing pages with the likes of Captain Universe, Shaman, and the memorably named Rabbit, Rat, and Ox, Snake occupies a genuinely intriguing corner of the Marvel cosmos — the kind of deep-cut character that rewards the curious collector willing to dig into Alpha Flight's rich, underappreciated history.
