King Cobra (Piet Voorhees)

Piet's uncle Klaus, the first Cobra, injected his nephew with the same mutagenic serum that first gave him his own superhuman abilities. Using these new powers for selfish means, Piet became a high-level international mercenary. Cobra has become involved with an international cartel known as Chaeyi. He has been working to get stolen passports and visas to illegal aliens. His operations have brought him into conflict with Angela Del Toro - the new White Tiger.[2] He joined Sin's new Serpent Squad. They attacked the Senate offices under the orders of the Red Skull but they were defeated by the new Captain America.[3] Later, they escaped and regrouped (minus Sin) and worked for the new Hydra.[4] Cobra was with the Serpent Society when they joined Baron Helmut Zemo's Army of Evil.[5] Cobra was among the animal-themed superhumans captured by Taskmaster and Black Ant for Kraven the Hunter's Great Hunt that was sponsored by Arcade's company Arcade Industries. He was paired up with Vulture, Scorpion, Tarantula, Stegron, and Rhino as the Savage Six. For some unknown reason, Arcade referred to him as "King Cobra."[1]
