It is that time of the year again, when we dive deep into the latest animal to come around the Chinese zodiac and find comic characters based on it. This year, it’s the snake’s turn to get the spotlight, and ... well, let’s just say it’s a pretty villain-heavy line-up, though we do have a couple of more heroic ones as well.

It seems fitting that we should focus this story more on Marvel’s snake-themed villains, for two reasons. The first is the fact that The Serpent Society will be making its live-action Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) debut in next month’s Captain America: Brave New World.
