History: Little is known about the Australian criminal Boomslang other than he became an agent of Viper's and aided her in the infiltration of the Serpent Society. During the mission, he joined Cobra and Copperhead as they poisoned Washington D.C.'s water supply, but was inevitably defeated by Captain America. While Cobra and Copperhead bickered with each other, Boomslang seemed to be just along for the ride, opting to stay out of their arguments. Later, during the battle with the X-Men, Boomslang was grouped with Puff Adder and Asp. When confronted by Wolverine, Boomslang tried to throw his serpent-rangs, but he was unaffected by them (and in fact, told him to "ditch the accent," suggesting Boomslang is not actually from Australia?). However, Boomslang's stay with the Serpent Society was short-lived, as when he was sent to spy on Diamondback, he was found by Captain America. He got away, but ran into a group of teenage thugs who proceeded to shoot Boomslang down. Captain America, being the hero that he is, rushed Boomslang to the hospital. Oddly enough, Boomslang appeared during the AIM Weapons Expo, where he exclaimed he was going to punish Captain America for what he did to his "friends." Uh, didn't Cap just save your life, Boomie? At least he was with the Serpent Society longer than Copperhead. Suggested Reading: Captain America #342-344, Captain America #372 |
