History:
Nothing is known about the life of the master criminal called Copperhead before he first appeared on the scene in Gotham City, confounding the police with a series of rapid-fire thefts. Using his unique uniform, the serpentine king of crime stole a variety of precious gems and artifacts before he was finally apprehended through the combined efforts of Batman, Batgirl, and Wonder Woman.

After spending several years in prison, Copperhead finally managed to escape with the aid of an old colleague who smuggled him a new and improved snake-suit. Once outside the prison walls, Copperhead learned that his new costume had been provided by the fledgling Secret Society of Super-Villains, who invited him to become one of their founding members. Accepting the invitation, Copperhead served on and off with the ever-changing organization until it apparently dissolved.

Although Copperhead was returned to prison several times during his association with the Secret Society, his whereabouts as of this writing are unknown.

Powers:
An extremely agile athlete but unskilled hand-to-hand combatant who prefers flight to fight, Copperhead relies heavily upon his special snake-suit to accomplish his ends. Constructed from a unique weave of experimental metallic and elastic fibers, the snake-suit is coated with a polymer film that enables Copperhead to slither through impossibly small spaces and makes him almost untouchable. The snake-suit is also capable of being stretched to great lengths, giving Copperhead added support as he scales sheer walls. The fangs in the snake-suit's helmet are also coated with a highly toxic venom that can cause paralysis and death.
