History

Asp
Intelligent yet soft-spoken, Asp was born in Tanta, Egypt. It was there that she earned her reputation as an exotic dancer, being able to charm snakes with her sensual movements. Her mutant ability to generate blasts of energy which caused paralysis intrigued the leader of the Serpent Society, Sidewinder, and he invited her to join the group.

Given the task to spread the word of a new criminal organization to those who would be interested brought Asp and her comrade, Cottonmouth, straight to the notorious Kingpin. She also participated in the mission to murder M.O.D.O.K., though she was defeated when Captain America entered the battle. She was, however, not as cold-hearted as some of her teammates, though she didn't hesitate to get down and dirty with the best of them. With the Serpent Society, she stole M.O.D.O.K.'s corpse from the morgue, and turned it over to AIM. Alongside Anaconda, she confronted the Ringmaster over the Death Adder's murder. While in the Society, Asp became good friends with Diamondback and Black Mamba. She stood by them and Sidewinder when Viper took over leadership of the Serpent Society. During her takeover, Viper captured and poisoned Asp, Black Mamba, and Bushmaster. They were later rescued by Captain America and Diamondback. Asp participated in the Serpent Society's mission to recover mystic objects for Ghaur and Llyra, and battled the X-Men. She also skirmished alone with Captain America. With Anaconda and Black Mamba, she shadowed Diamondback on her first date with Steve Rogers, and battled the Gamecock. When the Serpent Society put Diamondback on trial, the Asp voted in her favor. When King Cobra ordered the death of Diamondback, the Asp contacted Sidewinder to rescue Diamondback. The Asp and Black Mamba fought the other Serpent Society members, but were captured along with Paladin and Diamondback by King Cobra and Bushmaster. With the help of Captain America, the four of them escaped and defeated the Serpent Society.

She also briefly battled Alpha Flight[1] while fleeing the first Superhuman Registration Act. She soon joined Diamondback and Black Mamba in forming B.A.D. Girls, Inc., adopting a new costume.After being ambushed by Anaconda and captured by the Serpent Society, the B.A.D. Girls were rescued by M.O.D.A.M. With other female costumed criminals, the B.A.D. Girls were invited aboard Superia's cruise ship and joined her Femizons. When Captain America and Paladin infiltrated the cruise ship the Femizons resided on, Asp and Black Mamba decided to help the heroes escape Superia. The Asp and Black Mamba later learned that fellow Femizon Snapdragon was responsible for the attempted murder of Diamondback. Asp, Black Mamba, and Impala went to one of the "Bar With No Name" locations, and battled Battleaxe, Steel Wind, and Golddigger. Asp and her friends broke into a former Serpent Society headquarters, battled Sersi, and took an abandoned Serpent Saucer.

She later joined up with the Serpent Society once again, but then left to be reunited with the B.A.D. Girls as freelance mercenaries. They went up against Cable, Deadpool, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, and eventually teamed up with The Cat to find the "Dominus Objective." However, the B.A.D. Girls eventually discovered that Cable was the one who hired them. Asp was one of the few mutants who retained their powers after the events of M-Day. The Asp and the other B.A.D. Girls were members of Captain America's "Secret Avengers", openly opposing the Superhuman Registration Act.

Known Powers: Ability to generate and project radiant energy "venom bolts". Asp can reduce the recharge time of her venom bolts by performing a mildly hypnotic "snake dance". Asp radiates a form of energy that paralyzes anyone who remains in the same area with her for an extended period of time. Prolonged contact with Asp is fatal. She can direct this energy into a single bolt of energy, but cannot fire another bolt until recharging her energy for a brief period. The period of time lessens if engaged in strenuous activity (such as belly dancing.)
