History
Tiger Snake was a member of the Serpent Society personally recruited by Pit Viper with the precise scope to steal ingredients to construct the Serpent's Tears, a Mephisto-related artifact.[1] Unlike the rest of the Serpent Society, he was a firm believer of Mephisto, as he believed the demon saved his life.[2]
After being tipped off by Pit Viper, Tiger Snake ambushed Avengers Emergency Response Squad member Shang-Chi in Germany while the Master of Kung Fu was investigating the theft Tiger Snake committed earlier. After a brief fight, Tiger Snake poisoned Shang-Chi with his powers, forcing Shang-Chi to use his Ten Rings to knock Tiger Snake back and teleport away to heal. Back at the Serpent Stronghold, Tiger Snake informed the rest of the Society that the AVENG.E.R.S. now knew of their activities, which angered several of them, but he and Pit Viper reaffirmed the potential success of the Serpent's Tears.[3]
For the Serpent Society's final heist at an abandoned mine in Attania, Tiger Snake led a decoy team to keep the AVENG.E.R.S (consisting of Captain America, Shang-Chi, Lightspeed, Night Thrasher, Wasp and Hawkeye) preoccupied while Pit Viper and Titanoboa gathered the final component for the Serpent's Tears. Tiger Snake feigned defeat, allowing Titanoboa take the AVENGE.R.S. by surprise and incapacitate them while Pit Viper completed the Serpent's Tears. Tiger Snake watched on when Pit Viper subjected Captain America to the Serpent's Tears, which turned him into a snake-like monster.[4]
