Marvel Comics has explored fantastical tales about flying men and mystical wars between sorcerers and demons, to the more ground and gritty trials of anti-heroes out on a quest for vengeance. Yet, some stories somehow feel like a mix between the realistic and the absurd, but in the best way possible. Few corners of the Marvel Universe embody this more than the Serpent Society, a collection of snake-themed villains who gathered together for a better chance in the supervillain game.Despite it sounding like a ridiculous concept, the Serpent Society’s inner workings were surprisingly cutthroat. When they actually applied themselves, they were a recurring threat to various heroes, most notably Captain America. This explains why they will be featured in the upcoming MCU film Captain America: Brave New World. Understanding the Serpent Society’s foundations and many attempts to restructure can paint a clearer picture of who this united group of niche villains truly is.Individually, each of them was a B-tier villain at best. They would never have the power or impact that the likes of Doctor Doom or the Green Goblin have. Yet, together they could be more than they would be going solo. Sidewinder suggested that the villain unionize, guaranteeing payment for each job regardless of the outcome, as well as access to more technology and resources, health insurance, medical support, and even a pension plan. He was just pitching a villainous version of a labor union.
