History
Roland was a patient in the Big House when a blackout had caused a mass breakout around the country at all the major supervillain prisons.[1]
Later, him and the rest of the Serpent Society had held some civilians hostage and fought the Avengers. The fight was put on hold when Ant-Man attempted to appeal to their human sides, but they believed that Madame Hydra and Hydra had been coming, so they attacked anyway and Roland was able to drag Hawkeye down into the sewers, but was then dragged himself. The Society fled after losing the battle.[2]
After the Skrull Invasion of Earth, the Serpent Society had attempted to free Viper and King Cobra who were being transported from their current imprisonment to the Baxter Building. They were successful in both freeing them and leading Captain America and Spider-Man, along with a number of civilians into the NY sewer system. They later attacked the civilians and the heroes but retreated when the sewer began to collapse.[3]
