The Serpent Society is a fictional organization of snake-themed supervillains appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The society is a continuation of the Serpent Squad group and was later presented as Serpent Solutions. The Serpent Society first appeared in Captain America #310 (October 1985) and was created by writer Mark Gruenwald and artist Paul Neary. Serpent Solutions first appeared in Captain America: Sam Wilson #1 by writer Nick Spencer and artist Daniel Acuña. The Serpent Society was formed by Sidewinder as he gathered a number of villains with snake-themed powers. The group was organized more like a supervillain labor union, with the members providing protection for each other, sharing profits, etc. The Society took jobs for criminal organizations such as HYDRA, the Maggia, the Kingpin, and A.I.M.. Some of these jobs brought the Serpent Society into conflict with Captain America and his partners. At one point Viper took control of the society, plotting to take control of the United States but was ultimately foiled by Captain America, D-Man, Nomad, Falcon and former members of the Serpent Society. The Society would briefly reform over the years, but never made much impact.
