Snake-based Superheroes?

[Dr. Cringle]

You know, I was thinking about snakes/bugs (due in part to my rampant boredom), and suddenly I thought 'you know what? I can't think of any snake-based superheroes!' Any. I mean I could think of a number of snake-related or snake-based villians, but heroes? I'm drawing a blank. I can think of a number of superheroes based on all so sorts of batshit insane (bat, gettit? lul) character concepts, but not once can I think of one that has a snake as a basis. Is it just because in general snakes/serpents are still considered popular symbols of evil?

Why have you stopped getting on AIM.

Why have you stopped reading your PMs? >=O (also, I lost my cellphone at the bus station so I can't get on AIM mobile stfu. ;-; I'm getting it back today though)

Remember that whole "tempted by a snake" thing in the bible? Yeah, that's why people don't bother with trying to make snakes look like good guys.

Only guy I can think of is the smart mummy from Mummies Alive.

Master Snake from Kung Fu panda is arguably the nicest person to Po (the protagonist) when everyone else is shitting on him, and appears genuinely concerned for his safety. It's even suggested that she has a bit of a crush on him.

But no, there generally aren't a lot of examples of snake heroes. Turtles, porcupines, even skunks... But no snakes.

He's not actually a Snake, so he doesn't count.

[Super Buu]

Poor snakes. I've never understood the hate.



Awww ... =3

What kind of powers would a snake-based superhero have though? The ability to dislocate his jaw and swallow bad guys hole... something to do with shedding his skin, could use that somehow? Also would he have any limbs? Cause, you know, not having any limbs is a pretty big characteristic of a snake. Probable the reason there's no snake like superheroes.

This is the story of an amputee who wouldn't give up on justice...

[Saz]

Heheh.

I don't know.

Maybe something that has to do with.

Oh let's see.

Poisonous venom

Rose, that is probably the first cute snake I've ever seen.

Poor snakes. I've never understood the hate.

They just got a bad reputation from eating smaller animals whole without even chewing. They're like Essex girls, except Essex girls (eventually) let their prey out of their throat again.

<cough>

I tried searching for anything snake-like of a superhero, but what with G.I. Joe being close to coming out (or already having come out?), all I get hits on is some dude named 'Snake-Eyes'. I can't think of one either. I suppose snakes are just slithering villains.

EDIT: Well, it's not hard to imagine what a snake superhero could actually do, just grab every snake supervillain in mind (I can only think of one but I doubt he counts as a supervillain) and add that up.

[Super Buu]

Not to mention stretchyness and contortionism would not be a stretch.

would not be a stretch

be a stretch

stretch

So you know, wrapping up people and squeezing them and shit like Mr. Fantastic.

Oh yeeeeaaaah.

Anko Mitarashi from naruto uses snake techniques where she launches snakes and such from her body.

[Tyr]

I was gonna suggest that, but she's hardly a superhero. She's hardly super anything as a matter of fact.

[Psyren]

Super hott...and yeah that counts
