| 15 | * EqualOpportunityEvil: They are a very varied bunch, coming from different backgrounds and nationalities. |
| 16 | * OnlyInItForTheMoney: The usual motivation for most of the Society's members. Even the Viper's confederates in her coup (except Slither) ended up staying on after she was ousted when they realized she was only in it ForTheEvulz. |
| 17 | * QuirkyMinibossSquad: They usually serve as this, being mercenaries and terrorists. |
| 18 | * SecondaryColorNemesis: While mostly green, their membership tends to dress also using orange and purple depending on the individual. |
| 19 | * 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. |

| 211 | Klaus Voorhees was a citizen of the Netherlands whom turned into Cobra when he let a cobra bite him to get away with a murder, afterwards consuming an experimental antidote. Unknown to him however the snake was irradiated in an experiment, and as a result he gained cobra like powers. |
| 212 | ---- |
| 213 | * BadassNormal: A regular human in a cobra costume who was somehow able to hold his own against the god of thunder. |
| 214 | * BaldOfEvil: As shown in flashbacks, he was bald. |
| 215 | * CoDragons: See Hyde. |
| 216 | * {{Contortionist}}: Klaus Voorhees gained superhuman powers due to the combined mutagenic effects of the venom of a radioactive cobra and an experimental anti-venom. King Cobra is double-jointed, can dislocate and snap back into place his shoulders and hips at will, and has a phenomenal mastery of his musculature. |
| 217 | * DirtyCoward: Sided with Viper to save his own hide, ran when Diamondback and the Captain showed up, then tried claiming he was playing double-agent. |
| 218 | * TheDragon: Like Hyde, it varies, but he's rarely his own boss. |
| 219 | * GrapplingHookPistol: In the compartment behind his articulated chest armor is a fifty-foot long coil of steel cable that can be shot by means of a powerful spring. |
| 220 | * RoguesGalleryTransplant: Being just a guy in a snake costume, he really isn't much of a threat for Thor, and so he eventually became more of a Captain America villain as a member of the Serpent Society. |
| 221 | * SecondaryColorNemesis: His clothing is green and purple. |
| 222 | * SnakesAreSinister: They are, which is why he was one of the more consistent members of the Serpent Society. |
| 223 | * TheStarscream: He eventually betrayed Hyde, vowing to never work with him again. |
| 224 | * SuperToughness: It is nearly impossible for him to break a bone or tear a muscle. Hence, King Cobra can survive impacts that would kill or inflict major injury upon a normal human being with little or no injury to himself. |
| 225 | * SwissArmyGun: From his spring-loaded device the Cobra can shoot a number of deadly projectiles. His "cobra-bite" missiles contain cobra venom. The Cobra has also used projectiles carrying smoke, nerve gas, and a special substance that induces temporary blindness. |
| 226 | * WallCrawl: He has designed special chemical suction devices for his fingers and feel, enabling him to stick to walls and ceilings. |
| 227 | * WhatYouAreInTheDark: During Viper's takeover, he seriously considered just fleeing the scene entirely, since he'd betrayed Sidewinder and the likely punishment if the authorities got him would be death. He ultimately stops Viper from escaping, but he does try to parlay it into a pardon from Steve (who refuses point-blank). The fact he even did so at all baffles Steve anyway (who doesn't know Cobra had earlier seen Nomad get mobbed and bludgeoned by a crowd of snake people and done nothing to help). |

Piet would become a mercenary for hire and do most of his work internationally in countries in Southeast Asia, Bosnia and Central Asia. |
| 237 | ---- |
| 238 | * {{Contortionist}}: The Cobra possesses certain unusual physical powers derived from his mutagenically altered physiology which among other things help him simulate the movement of a snake. All of the bones in his body, including his skull, are malleable and his muscle tissue is exceedingly resilient, making his body very flexible and pliant. |
| 239 | * LegacyCharacter: He received the Cobra title from his uncle, who also gave him the same powers while he became known as King Cobra. |
| 240 | * TheNoseKnows: Unlike his uncle, Piet possesses enhanced olfactory senses, which enables him to track his targets by way of their scent. |
| 241 | * SuperToughness: It is nearly impossible for him to break a bone or tear a muscle. Hence, the Cobra can survive impacts that would kill or inflict major injury upon a normal human being with little or no injury to himself. |

| 277 | Little is known of Davis Lawfers' history before he joined a group of snake-themed villains organized by the terrorist the Viper to infiltrate the criminal organization known as the Serpent Society so she could take it over. Along with Black Racer, Puff Adder, and Fer-de-Lance, Copperhead took part in a series of robberies of casinos in Las Vegas. Copperhead was apparently the field leader of this group. Although the group battled and were captured by Captain America (then known as The Captain) and his allies, their mission achieved its objective when they were sprung from jail by the Serpent Society's leader Sidewinder and offered membership. |
