    Default Who are these snake people?

    in Avenging Spider-Man, Avengers vs X-men, Wolverine and the X-Men, etc. these snake mutants or whatever they are keep coming up Cottonmouth and some other crapheads, they kinda suck, like I don't see how they are that big a threat, they seem to be beat em up villains

    but I was just wondering who the hell they are? Is there some big event coming where snakes take over the world... or hijack a plane and Luke Cage gets tired of those...

    back on track, who are these snake losers and why do they keep reappearing in every book?

    The Serpent Society. They're a major mercenary group, and they've tended to be enemies of Captain America over the years. They were awesome during Mark Gruenwald's run on Captain America, but I don't think anyone's really done them justice since then.

    so they've appeared more than once? As you can tell I just got back into Marvel comics like maybe 2 months ago so I'm kinda lost on everything
    how come the same 5 or 6 dudes appear in every book? I must have seen Cottonmouth getting beat up like 4 times in different books now

    Read Gruenwald's Captain America run. "Crapheads" they are not.

    I'm pretty sure I heard that Diamondback is the daughter of a motherless goat.

    Now go away, or I shall taunt you again!

    I think part of it is all the leadership changes, even under Gruenwald. His Serpent Society stories, especially later in his run, tended to feature more internal wrangling within the group than whatever they were actually trying to accomplish. Some of that was good stuff, don't get me wrong, but it ended up muddling their mission statement and later writers have struggled to establish a coherent, consistent direction.

    Gotta go with diamondback on this one.
    I also thing most of the serpent society are bad ass, kool themed villains, they would be a threat to any single hero.

    I read the whole wiki on them they seem to be comic relief villains... maybe they started off as serious contenders but seems they're nothing more than cannon fodder and have gone the way of heroes like Songbird and Red Sox fans :/
