History
Blanche Sitznski was selected by executives in the Roxxon Oil Company to be a special agent in covert operations. At the Mutagenics Laboratory of Roxxon's subsidiary, the Brand Corporation, Sitznski was bioengineered to have various permanent serpentine adaptations. Her first mission, as part of the new Serpent Squad, was to retrieve the ancient power object called the Serpent Crown for Roxxon president, Hugh Jones.
She was then invited to join the Serpent Society by Sidewinder and had to have an initiation test to steal an apparatus from the Brand Corporation. Constrictor (Frank Schlichting) who had refused to join the society tipped off the Avengers and Captain America turned up, who fought and defeated Anaconda. Later she was freed by Sidewinder and defeated the Constrictor for what he did.
Powers and Abilities
Powers
As a result of bioengineering at the hands of the Roxxon Oil Company, Anaconda possesses a variety of superhuman attributes.
Limb Elongation: Anaconda's arms are normally two feet in length from wrist to armpit and he legs are normally 35 inches in length from ankle to hipbone. However, her the bioengineering process grants her the ability to elongate her limbs to one and a half times their normal length. When doing so, the muscle tissue of her limbs gorge with blood and swell to many times their normal size, thereby, giving them the appearance of large snakes. Her limbs are capable of generating up to 125 pounds of pressure per square inch, which is enough force to deform a steel tube 2 feet in diameter and 1 inch thick.
Amphibian Physiology: Anaconda posseses gills gained through surgical placement that allows her to extract oxygen from the water to breathe. She is able to survive and breathe while underwater indefinitely, as well as on land.
Superhuman Strength: The bioengineering process has augmented Anaconda's musculature to superhuman levels. At her peak, she possesses sufficient superhuman strength to lift approximately 2 tons. However, while using her strength to constrict rather than lift, she possesses a grip that can only be broken by someone whose strength exceeds her own by at least a factor of 30.
Superhuman Swimming Speed: Anaconda is capable of propeling herself through the water at speeds beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human swimmer. At her peak, she can propel herself at speeds of about 30 miles per hour.
Superhuman Stamina: Anaconda's superior musculature produces less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of any ordinary human. At her peak, she can exert herself for several hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in her blood begins to impair her.
Superhuman Durability: Roxxon's bioengineering process has fortified the cellular structure of Anaconda's bodily tissue, making it more resistant physical injury than the body of a normal human. She can withstand great impact forces, such as falls from great heights or being struck by a superhumanly strong opponent, that would severely injure or kill a normal human with little to no injury herself.
Superhuman Agility: Anaconda's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.
Abilities
Anaconda is a formidable hand to hand combatant. She typically prefers using street fighting techniques while incorporating her ability to elongate her limbs. Her favorite method is to simply ensnare an opponent in her limbs and constrict them until they lose consciousness or expire due to the immense pressure.
Paraphernalia
Equipment
The entire skeletal structure of Anaconda's arms and legs has been replaced by artificial Adamantium alloy-based bones in the basic configuraton of a snake's bodily skeleton. While the alloy isn't True Adamantium, it is virtually indestructible for all practical purposes.Transportation
