In this page, the Serpent Society is a group of snake-themed supervillains and mercenaries founded by Sidewinder. They are a recurring threat in Captain America’s comic books, and their members include Constrictor, Death Adder, Diamondback, Slither, King Cobra, and Viper.
Assuming it wasn’t cut, teeth As rumored, WWE Superstar Seth Rollins will be King Cobra, Rosa Salazar will be Diamondback, and Sidewinder will once again be the leader.
3. What about his comic history?
Though Sidewinder has appeared dozens of times over the years, he’s nothing like Red Skull or Crossbones, and yet he’s managed to score some major victories despite falling into the “B” or “C” list category of supervillains.
Seth Volker was hired by the Roxxon Oil Corporation to retrieve the Serpent Crown, an ancient magical relic that bestows an array of supernatural powers on its wearer. As Sidewinder, Volker was successful in his mission and later founded his own group of supervillains, the Serpent Society.
Although initially successful, he was eventually betrayed by Viper, but Diamondback rescued him and he continued working until his retirement. Believe it or not, Volker is now a TV commentator, sharing his thoughts on superhumans, including the Thunderbolts.

He spoke about his MCU role at Comic-Con this weekend. Better Call Saul Starr said:
“He’s a complex character and he wasn’t evil from the get-go. He arrived at the role in a different way and I hope it plays out well. And I like that because you’ve seen me play bad guys who are good at using their brains and telling you what to do and how to do it.”
“I like Sidewinder because he’s a very physical guy, and he has to go against his opponents physically, and he knows how to use the tools of his trade. So he’s a character that goes against some of the things that seem like they might be true in the comics.”
This version of Sidewinder will be a bit more aggressive, and Marvel Studios seems to be planning on having him form the Serpent Society in some MCU projects. Where is it all going? That’s a tough question to answer. Armor Wars Makes the most sense, right?
