History: The super-fast Black Racer was a member of the fourth Serpent Squad.  Though doesn't say much, she is actually quite skilled in battle, and when the Viper took over the Serpent Society, she sent Black Racer around to every hospital in the surrounding area to find the wounded Sidewinder.  However, because of her speed, Black Racer is a bit clumsy at times, and the heroes often are able to trip her or make her hit a wall.  It is unknown if Black Racer gained her powers through equipment or if she is a mutant or what.  She also participated in a race between super-heroes and villains, but because she is a sprinter, she didn't do so well.

Oddly enough, during the Serpent Society's tenure in an old folk's home (when they battled Jack Flag), Black Racer was missing.  However, during their most recent appearance in Captain America: Disassembled, Black Racer once again returned to the Society.  It is also interesting to note that she, like Puff Adder, constantly changes her ethnicity.  I'd like to think she is black, because there's a lack of colored women in the Serpent Society.
