Hamilton, meanwhile, is also Blind Justice, a vigilante Hawkeye tussled with during his LA days.
* DwindlingParty: Between various screw-ups and disasters, by 2019 only Zota is alive. [[spoiler:Assuming Korvak's left anything of him.]]
* EyeScream: Hamilton was blinded as a result of Him's awakening.
* HeroKiller: They might've killed the Dark Avenger. They might also have killed Blind Justice, who was once one of their own.
* LongLived: They've been taking "longevity treatments", which is how three of them can still be around despite having been around in the 1930s.
* TheManBehindTheMan: They might have had a hand in the creation of Adam-II, and his subsequent insanity.
* MultiNationalTeam: The Enclave was founded by four scientists, each of whom had a different area of expertise. They were Maris Morlak, a Lithuanian nuclear physicist, Jerome Hamilton, an American medical biologist, Carlo Zota, a Spanish electronics technician, and Wladyslav Shinski, a Polish geneticist.
* ObliviouslyEvil: They just want to take over the world. What's so evil about that?
* RapidAging: A favored method of killing for them, which helps hiding attempts to trace them.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: They started off bothering the Fantastic Four, but they've also tussled with Adam Warlock, Golden Age hero the Thunderer, and the Fantastic Four.
* SomethingWeForgotAbout: When Him made his destructive exit from the Beehive, Hamilton was presumed dead. Actually, he'd just been blinded and buried by debris, along with the Eternity Mask.
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Happens to them an awful lot. First with Him, then Her.

Corporate executive Simon Utrecht wasn't satisfied with having immense wealth and influence. Desiring greater power and inspired by the accident that gave the ComicBook/FantasticFour superhuman powers, Utrecht sponsored a space mission with the intent of being bombarded with cosmic rays similar to the Four and gaining powers of his own. The plan succeeded, with Utrecht and his crew gaining superhuman powers, but when [[Comicbook/IncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]] saw what they were doing, he aborted the launch and brought them back to Earth. Enraged at having their quest for power cut short, Utrecht and his crew attacked the Hulk with the superhuman abilities they'd gained. Banner defended himself by turning into the Hulk, but the battle was cut short when the U-Foes, as they called themselves, lost control of their powers. They seemed to have been killed by their own abilities, but eventually managed to restore themselves and would return to torment the Hulk time and again.
Simon Utrecht gained superhuman repelling powers as Vector, while pilot Mike Steele became the superstrong and metallic Ironclad. Crew member Jimmy Darnell became the radioactive X-Ray, while his sister Ann Darnell became Vapor, capable of turning herself into any form of chemical gas.

Corporate executive Simon Utrecht wasn't satisfied with having immense wealth and influence. Desiring greater power and inspired by the accident that gave the ComicBook/FantasticFour superhuman powers, Utrecht sponsored a space mission with the intent of being bombarded with cosmic rays similar to the Four and gaining powers of his own. The plan succeeded, with Utrecht and his crew gaining superhuman powers, but when [[Comicbook/IncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]] saw what they were doing, he aborted the launch and brought them back to Earth. Enraged at having their quest for power cut short, Utrecht and his crew attacked the Hulk with the superhuman abilities they'd gained. Banner defended himself by turning into the Hulk, but the battle was cut short when the U-Foes, as they called themselves, lost control of their powers. They seemed to have been killed by their own abilities, but eventually managed to restore themselves and would return to torment the Hulk time and again.
Simon Utrecht gained superhuman repelling powers as Vector, while pilot Mike Steele became the superstrong and metallic Ironclad. Crew member Jimmy Darnell became the radioactive X-Ray, while his sister Ann Darnell became Vapor, capable of turning herself into any form of chemical gas.

Corporate executive Simon Utrecht wasn't satisfied with having immense wealth and influence. Desiring greater power and inspired by the accident that gave the ComicBook/FantasticFour superhuman powers, Utrecht sponsored a space mission with the intent of being bombarded with cosmic rays similar to the Four and gaining powers of his own. The plan succeeded, with Utrecht and his crew gaining superhuman powers, but when [[Comicbook/IncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]] saw what they were doing, he aborted the launch and brought them back to Earth. Enraged at having their quest for power cut short, Utrecht and his crew attacked the Hulk with the superhuman abilities they'd gained. Banner defended himself by turning into the Hulk, but the battle was cut short when the U-Foes, as they called themselves, lost control of their powers. They seemed to have been killed by their own abilities, but eventually managed to restore themselves and would return to torment the Hulk time and again.
Simon Utrecht gained superhuman repelling powers as Vector, while pilot Mike Steele became the superstrong and metallic Ironclad. Crew member Jimmy Darnell became the radioactive X-Ray, while his sister Ann Darnell became Vapor, capable of turning herself into any form of chemical gas.

The initial line-up was made up of Frog-Man, Ape-Man, Cat-Man, Bird-Man and later joined by
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: After being granted powers by Count Nefaria, they became much more overtly animal like.
* AnimalWrongsGroup: In their most recent incarnation, they are seen attacking a fashion show because of it's use and promotion of animal fur.
* BeastMan: An entire team of them. Once they got past their power-suit faze, they fell firmly into this, possessing fur, claws, and other traits associated with their individual animal.
* CListFodder: Being a lesser known team at best, the group has lost more than one member. Ape-Man, Cat-Man and Bird-Man have all been killed and replaced by successors who were also killed.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: Before they were mutated into BeastFolk.
* GangOfHats: Animal themed super villain team.
* NamesTheSame: Bird-Man and [[WesternAnimation/BirdMan Bird-Man]].
* PutOnABus: The initial team consisted of Cat-Man, Bird-Man, Ape-Man and Frog-Man. Later, when they reappear, the former three are still present, but Frog-Man is "still in jail". That's because, between their appearances, Stan Lee created another frog-themed supervillain: The Leap-Frog (see below) and didn't want there to be a confusion. Frog-Man never appeared again, although Leap-Frog didn't have much staying power either.
* [[RevolvingDoorBand Revolving Door Team:]] The team line-up is rarely ever the same between appearances.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: Initially Daredevil and Spider-Man foes, they have since done battle with the ComicBook/XMen, and even the ComicBook/GreatLakesAvengers.
* TokenFemale: Dragonfly and Rabbit-Woman to their respective teams, as they've never been on the same lineup.
* WingedHumanoid: Bird-Man, Dragonfly, and Great Horned Owl-Man.

!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''The Incredible Hulk'' Vol. 1, #254
Corporate executive Simon Utrecht wasn't satisfied with having immense wealth and influence. Desiring greater power and inspired by the accident that gave the ComicBook/FantasticFour superhuman powers, Utrecht sponsored a space mission with the intent of being bombarded with cosmic rays similar to the Four and gaining powers of his own. The plan succeeded, with Utrecht and his crew gaining superhuman powers, but when [[Comicbook/IncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]] saw what they were doing, he aborted the launch and brought them back to Earth. Enraged at having their quest for power cut short, Utrecht and his crew attacked the Hulk with the superhuman abilities they'd gained. Banner defended himself by turning into the Hulk, but the battle was cut short when the U-Foes, as they called themselves, lost control of their powers. They seemed to have been killed by their own abilities, but eventually managed to restore themselves and would return to torment the Hulk time and again.
Simon Utrecht gained superhuman repelling powers as Vector, while pilot Mike Steele became the superstrong and metallic Ironclad. Crew member Jimmy Darnell became the radioactive X-Ray, while his sister Ann Darnell became Vapor, capable of turning herself into any form of chemical gas.

* AncientConspiracy: About 400 years old.
* ArchEnemy: Of the organisation known as The Chaste, of whom Matt's mentor, Stick, was member. The group as a whole is third on Daredevil's hit parade after Wilson Fisk and Bullseye. They've fought him many times, a number of his enemies (Elektra, Lady Bullseye, Kingpin) have been members of the group or have tried to take control of it, they're linked to his mentor, and they want Matt to be their leader.
* AwesomeMccoolName: "The Hand", a name so simple, and yet so loaded with understated menace and strength.
* BlackMagic: Fond of this. Upon the mutinous murder of Yoshioka (first ''father'' of the group), the Snakeroot ninja clan took control of the Hand and corrupted it by imposing the cult of a demon known as The Beast, which imparted them with dark magic. One of these black spells causes a Hand ninja's lifeless body to return to dust and prevent another from directly gazing at the Beast itself.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: A favorite tactic of theirs; they kill you, and then resurrect you as a StrawNihilist AxCrazy BloodKnight loyal to them. Elektra went through this twice, though the second time she apparently had developed a resistance to it and OutGambitted them. They've also done it to Wolverine and ComicBook/{{Northstar}}, and tried doing it to Echo.
* CameBackWrong: Invoked. They resurrect you to be one of their evil warriors.
* ConservationOfNinjutsu: Played dead straight. The group is almost nothing but cannon fodder. The willingness to die seems to be more important in membership consideration than skill, considering how many hundreds (perhaps thousands) of these guys characters like Franchise/{{Wolverine}} and ComicBook/{{Elektra}} have waded through. These were, at least in part, the inspiration for the Foot Clan, below.
** Their earliest appearances, during Frank Miller's run on ''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'', more or less codified the trope. Daredevil and Elektra would periodically face whole armies of Hand mooks and win fairly easily, then the Hand threw a few elite swordsmen at them and gave them a serious fight, and a little after that they produced a named super-ninja for a downright difficult boss fight.
** The trope was later somewhat handwaved in a ''Wolverine'' comic "... [the {{mooks}}] have to be careful they don't chop one of their own by mistake. While I can hit anyone I please."
*** Speaking of Wolverine, the Hand averted this one once by ambushing him with enough ninja to cripple his movement and leave him defenseless, allowing the Gorgon to chop his head off. He gets better, then plays the trope straight for six issues of glorious payback that practically wiped the ninja clan out.
* TheCorruption
* {{Cult}}: A demonic one.
* TheDreaded
* EliteMooks: Fist, a reanimated corpse powered by the souls of 100 fallen warriors.
* GreaterScopeVillain: [[IHaveManyNames The Beast, aka Jakkaru No Musuko (Son Of Jackal)]], their evil master. He has only appeared in two stories, and most of the time he uses DemonicPossession rather than his true form (a large, green, ogre-like monster with a bit of a hunchback).
* NebulousCriminalConspiracy: They have a long, complex history with ComicBook/{{HYDRA}} and the latter is more or less a breakaway group of the more politically minded members, though they still co-operate from time to time. They often ally with other evil groups, and a branch are controlled by the Kingpin.
* NebulousEvilOrganisation
* NightOfTheLivingMooks: They have [[TheUndead undead]] {{mooks}}.
* NinjaZombiePirateRobot: Undead brainwashed demon-worshiping ninja cult.
* OffWithHisHead: What you have to do to the corpse if you don't want the Hand to get their hands on a new toy.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: All Hand warriors and their demon masters have red eyes (DependingOnTheArtist).
* ReligionOfEvil: They worship an ancient demon known only as The Beast. In the Franchise/{{Wolverine}} story arc ''Enemy of the State'', their ''Jounin'', their highest ninja masters, are clearly non-human and implied to be demons as well.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: They've fought pretty much everyone at this point, from Matt and Elektra to Wolverine, ComicBook/TheAvengers, and beyond.
* ShroudedInMyth
* StrawNihilist: What you become if the Hand brings you BackFromTheDead.
* TakeOverTheWorld: Their main goal.
* TheUndead: Members of the Hand are practitioners of powerful occult magic and can murder a person and bring that person back to life as a servant of the Hand.

Upon the mutinous murder of Yoshioka (first ''father'' of the group), the Snakeroot ninja clan took control of the Hand and corrupted it by imposing the cult of a demon known as The Beast, which imparted them with dark magic. One of these black spells causes a Hand ninja's lifeless body to return to dust and prevent another from directly gazing at the Beast itself.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: A favorite tactic of theirs; they kill you, and then resurrect you as a StrawNihilist AxCrazy BloodKnight loyal to them. Elektra went through this twice, though the second time she apparently had developed a resistance to it and OutGambitted them. They've also done it to Wolverine and ComicBook/{{Northstar}}, and tried doing it to Echo.
* CameBackWrong: Invoked. They resurrect you to be one of their evil warriors.
* ConservationOfNinjutsu: Played dead straight. The group is almost nothing but cannon fodder. The willingness to die seems to be more important in membership consideration than skill, considering how many hundreds (perhaps thousands) of these guys characters like Franchise/{{Wolverine}} and ComicBook/{{Elektra}} have waded through. These were, at least in part, the inspiration for the Foot Clan, below.
** Their earliest appearances, during Frank Miller's run on ''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'', more or less codified the trope. Daredevil and Elektra would periodically face whole armies of Hand mooks and win fairly easily, then the Hand threw a few elite swordsmen at them and gave them a serious fight, and a little after that they produced a named super-ninja for a downright difficult boss fight.
** The trope was later somewhat handwaved in a ''Wolverine'' comic "... [the {{mooks}}] have to be careful they don't chop one of their own by mistake. While I can hit anyone I please."
*** Speaking of Wolverine, the Hand averted this one once by ambushing him with enough ninja to cripple his movement and leave him defenseless, allowing the Gorgon to chop his head off. He gets better, then plays the trope straight for six issues of glorious payback that practically wiped the ninja clan out.
* TheCorruption
* {{Cult}}: A demonic one.
* TheDreaded
* EliteMooks: Fist, a reanimated corpse powered by the souls of 100 fallen warriors.
* GreaterScopeVillain: [[IHaveManyNames The Beast, aka Jakkaru No Musuko (Son Of Jackal)]], their evil master. He has only appeared in two stories, and most of the time he uses DemonicPossession rather than his true form (a large, green, ogre-like monster with a bit of a hunchback).
* NebulousCriminalConspiracy: They have a long, complex history with ComicBook/{{HYDRA}} and the latter is more or less a breakaway group of the more politically minded members, though they still co-operate from time to time. They often ally with other evil groups, and a branch are controlled by the Kingpin.
* NebulousEvilOrganisation
* NightOfTheLivingMooks: They have [[TheUndead undead]] {{mooks}}.
* NinjaZombiePirateRobot: Undead brainwashed demon-worshiping ninja cult.
* OffWithHisHead: What you have to do to the corpse if you don't want the Hand to get their hands on a new toy.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: All Hand warriors and their demon masters have red eyes (DependingOnTheArtist).
* ReligionOfEvil: They worship an ancient demon known only as The Beast. In the Franchise/{{Wolverine}} story arc ''Enemy of the State'', their ''Jounin'', their highest ninja masters, are clearly non-human and implied to be demons as well.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: They've fought pretty much everyone at this point, from Matt and Elektra to Wolverine, ComicBook/TheAvengers, and beyond.
* ShroudedInMyth
* StrawNihilist: What you become if the Hand brings you BackFromTheDead.
* TakeOverTheWorld: Their main goal.
* TheUndead: Members of the Hand are practitioners of powerful occult magic and can murder a person and bring that person back to life as a servant of the Hand.

Corporate executive Simon Utrecht wasn't satisfied with having immense wealth and influence. Desiring greater power and inspired by the accident that gave the ComicBook/FantasticFour superhuman powers, Utrecht sponsored a space mission with the intent of being bombarded with cosmic rays similar to the Four and gaining powers of his own. The plan succeeded, with Utrecht and his crew gaining superhuman powers, but when [[Comicbook/IncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]] saw what they were doing, he aborted the launch and brought them back to Earth. Enraged at having their quest for power cut short, Utrecht and his crew attacked the Hulk with the superhuman abilities they'd gained. Banner defended himself by turning into the Hulk, but the battle was cut short when the U-Foes, as they called themselves, lost control of their powers. They seemed to have been killed by their own abilities, but eventually managed to restore themselves and would return to torment the Hulk time and again.
Simon Utrecht gained superhuman repelling powers as Vector, while pilot Mike Steele became the superstrong and metallic Ironclad. Crew member Jimmy Darnell became the radioactive X-Ray, while his sister Ann Darnell became Vapor, capable of turning herself into any form of chemical gas.

Hydra is a criminal
An ancient organization
* AncientConspiracy: About 400 years old.
* ArchEnemy: Of the organisation known as The Chaste, of whom Matt's mentor, Stick, was member. The group as a whole is third on Daredevil's hit parade after Wilson Fisk and Bullseye. They've fought him many times, a number of his enemies (Elektra, Lady Bullseye, Kingpin) have been members of the group or have tried to take control of it, they're linked to his mentor, and they want Matt to be their leader.
* AwesomeMccoolName: "The Hand", a name so simple, and yet so loaded with understated menace and strength.
* BlackMagic: Fond of this. Upon the mutinous murder of Yoshioka (first ''father'' of the group), the Snakeroot ninja clan took control of the Hand and corrupted it by imposing the cult of a demon known as The Beast, which imparted them with dark magic. One of these black spells causes a Hand ninja's lifeless body to return to dust and prevent another from directly gazing at the Beast itself.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: A favorite tactic of theirs; they kill you, and then resurrect you as a StrawNihilist AxCrazy BloodKnight loyal to them. Elektra went through this twice, though the second time she apparently had developed a resistance to it and OutGambitted them. They've also done it to Wolverine and ComicBook/{{Northstar}}, and tried doing it to Echo.
* CameBackWrong: Invoked. They resurrect you to be one of their evil warriors.
* ConservationOfNinjutsu: Played dead straight. The group is almost nothing but cannon fodder. The willingness to die seems to be more important in membership consideration than skill, considering how many hundreds (perhaps thousands) of these guys characters like Franchise/{{Wolverine}} and ComicBook/{{Elektra}} have waded through. These were, at least in part, the inspiration for the Foot Clan, below.
** Their earliest appearances, during Frank Miller's run on ''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'', more or less codified the trope. Daredevil and Elektra would periodically face whole armies of Hand mooks and win fairly easily, then the Hand threw a few elite swordsmen at them and gave them a serious fight, and a little after that they produced a named super-ninja for a downright difficult boss fight.
** The trope was later somewhat handwaved in a ''Wolverine'' comic "... [the {{mooks}}] have to be careful they don't chop one of their own by mistake. While I can hit anyone I please."
*** Speaking of Wolverine, the Hand averted this one once by ambushing him with enough ninja to cripple his movement and leave him defenseless, allowing the Gorgon to chop his head off. He gets better, then plays the trope straight for six issues of glorious payback that practically wiped the ninja clan out.
* TheCorruption
* {{Cult}}: A demonic one.
* TheDreaded
* EliteMooks: Fist, a reanimated corpse powered by the souls of 100 fallen warriors.
* GreaterScopeVillain: [[IHaveManyNames The Beast, aka Jakkaru No Musuko (Son Of Jackal)]], their evil master. He has only appeared in two stories, and most of the time he uses DemonicPossession rather than his true form (a large, green, ogre-like monster with a bit of a hunchback).
* NebulousCriminalConspiracy: They have a long, complex history with ComicBook/{{HYDRA}} and the latter is more or less a breakaway group of the more politically minded members, though they still co-operate from time to time. They often ally with other evil groups, and a branch are controlled by the Kingpin.
* NebulousEvilOrganisation
* NightOfTheLivingMooks: They have [[TheUndead undead]] {{mooks}}.
* NinjaZombiePirateRobot: Undead brainwashed demon-worshiping ninja cult.
* OffWithHisHead: What you have to do to the corpse if you don't want the Hand to get their hands on a new toy.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: All Hand warriors and their demon masters have red eyes (DependingOnTheArtist).
* ReligionOfEvil: They worship an ancient demon known only as The Beast. In the Franchise/{{Wolverine}} story arc ''Enemy of the State'', their ''Jounin'', their highest ninja masters, are clearly non-human and implied to be demons as well.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: They've fought pretty much everyone at this point, from Matt and Elektra to Wolverine, ComicBook/TheAvengers, and beyond.
* ShroudedInMyth
* StrawNihilist: What you become if the Hand brings you BackFromTheDead.
* TakeOverTheWorld: Their main goal.
* TheUndead: Members of the Hand are practitioners of powerful occult magic and can murder a person and bring that person back to life as a servant of the Hand.

Corporate executive Simon Utrecht wasn't satisfied with having immense wealth and influence. Desiring greater power and inspired by the accident that gave the ComicBook/FantasticFour superhuman powers, Utrecht sponsored a space mission with the intent of being bombarded with cosmic rays similar to the Four and gaining powers of his own. The plan succeeded, with Utrecht and his crew gaining superhuman powers, but when [[Comicbook/IncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]] saw what they were doing, he aborted the launch and brought them back to Earth. Enraged at having their quest for power cut short, Utrecht and his crew attacked the Hulk with the superhuman abilities they'd gained. Banner defended himself by turning into the Hulk, but the battle was cut short when the U-Foes, as they called themselves, lost control of their powers. They seemed to have been killed by their own abilities, but eventually managed to restore themselves and would return to torment the Hulk time and again.
Simon Utrecht gained superhuman repelling powers as Vector, while pilot Mike Steele became the superstrong and metallic Ironclad. Crew member Jimmy Darnell became the radioactive X-Ray, while his sister Ann Darnell became Vapor, capable of turning herself into any form of chemical gas.

The Elders of the Universe are the last survivors of otherwise extinct races. Each discovered that they had potentially infinite lifespans, dependent on maintaining the will to continue living. They are thus known for their personal obsessions (such as collecting, contests of strategy or strength, and various fields of study), each of which is pursued fanatically. While the characters are not truly cosmic entities, all have achieved some cosmic level of power and knowledge related to their particular pursuit.

Desiring greater power and inspired by the accident that gave the ComicBook/FantasticFour superhuman powers, Utrecht sponsored a space mission with the intent of being bombarded with cosmic rays similar to the Four and gaining powers of his own.

!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''The Incredible Hulk'' Vol. 1, #254
Corporate executive Simon Utrecht wasn't satisfied with having immense wealth and influence. Desiring greater power and inspired by the accident that gave the ComicBook/FantasticFour superhuman powers, Utrecht sponsored a space mission with the intent of being bombarded with cosmic rays similar to the Four and gaining powers of his own. The plan succeeded, with Utrecht and his crew gaining superhuman powers, but when [[Comicbook/IncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]] saw what they were doing, he aborted the launch and brought them back to Earth. Enraged at having their quest for power cut short, Utrecht and his crew attacked the Hulk with the superhuman abilities they'd gained. Banner defended himself by turning into the Hulk, but the battle was cut short when the U-Foes, as they called themselves, lost control of their powers. They seemed to have been killed by their own abilities, but eventually managed to restore themselves and would return to torment the Hulk time and again.
Simon Utrecht gained superhuman repelling powers as Vector, while pilot Mike Steele became the superstrong and metallic Ironclad. Crew member Jimmy Darnell became the radioactive X-Ray, while his sister Ann Darnell became Vapor, capable of turning herself into any form of chemical gas.

!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''The Incredible Hulk'' Vol. 1, #254
Corporate executive Simon Utrecht wasn't satisfied with having immense wealth and influence. Desiring greater power and inspired by the accident that gave the ComicBook/FantasticFour superhuman powers, Utrecht sponsored a space mission with the intent of being bombarded with cosmic rays similar to the Four and gaining powers of his own. The plan succeeded, with Utrecht and his crew gaining superhuman powers, but when [[Comicbook/IncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]] saw what they were doing, he aborted the launch and brought them back to Earth. Enraged at having their quest for power cut short, Utrecht and his crew attacked the Hulk with the superhuman abilities they'd gained. Banner defended himself by turning into the Hulk, but the battle was cut short when the U-Foes, as they called themselves, lost control of their powers. They seemed to have been killed by their own abilities, but eventually managed to restore themselves and would return to torment the Hulk time and again.
Simon Utrecht gained superhuman repelling powers as Vector, while pilot Mike Steele became the superstrong and metallic Ironclad. Crew member Jimmy Darnell became the radioactive X-Ray, while his sister Ann Darnell became Vapor, capable of turning herself into any form of chemical gas.

* QuirkyMinibossSquad: They usually serve as this, being mercenaries and terrorists.
* SpiritualSuccessor: to the Serpent Squad, since Sidewinder had been a member, and there has been a lot of roster overlap over the years.
* WeirdTradeUnion: Sidewinder (Seth Voelker) started the Serpent Society to provide a stable working environment for his fellow snake-themed villains, with access to better technology and better jobs, and while he led them, Sidewinder's teleportation ability provided a GetOutOfJailFreeCard.
