word of advice : comprise SPOILERS for Avengers Assemble # 4!Captain Americais a fictitious character whose pattern literally forego Marvel Comics , name it as timeless as it is iconic . That legacy is felt with every addition to Captain America ’s personal lore , including and especially in theMCU , as the films took that amusing book pattern and convey it to life history . But now , Captain America ’s intent has changeddrastically thanks to the hero ’s newest MCU foe - and it totally changed my opinion of that approaching villain .
InAvengers Assemble#4 by Steve Orlando and Valentina Pinti , Captain America , Shang - Chi , and the other Avengers are inquire a serial of heists consecrate by the villainous radical , the Serpent Society . Shang - Chi mark that every mission the Avengers have gone on late has coincided with a heist , as if the Serpent Society was using the Avengers ’ missions as covert . So , this Avengers squad assembles to take the combat to the Serpent Society and put an remainder to their law-breaking fling once and for all . Unfortunately , the Serpent Society was more than quick for them .
When the Avengers launch their attack against the Serpent Society , the villains counter by throwing an explosive at the Avengers ’ feet . As expected , Captain America jump on the grenade , using his body as a shield to protect his fellow Hero . However , the bomb was n’t actually a bomb at all , but a tin fill up with a mutagen toxin . After Captain America suspire in the fumes , his dead body began to mutate , and his idea slowly slipped into a rage - occupy lunacy . Steve Rogers had been transformed into an anthropomorphous mutant ophidian , everlastingly becoming Cap - Snake .
Captain America’s New “Cap-Snake” Redesign is Something I NEED to See in the MCU
The Serpent Society will be Featured inCaptain America: Brave New World
Honestly , when I hear that theSerpent Society was actually going to be in the MCU , I was n’t very emotional - specially since the Serpent Society was tease apart as the main villain of " Captain America 3 " beforeCivil Warwas announced , which was played up as a huge prank . The Serpent Society has never been read seriously in the past , with even the MCU itself fundamentally make fun of them during Phase 3 . So , why should I care that the Serpent Society is going to be inCaptain America : Brave New World ?
Well , after read this way out of Avengers Assemble , I ’m convinced . The Serpent Society can add a stratum of gross mutant sport to the MCU akin toTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesand evenToxic Avenger . They ’re entire wildcards , utterly over - the - top supervillains who just turned Captain America into a Hydra mutant , and that ’s something I want to see more of . I do n’t want the MCU ’s Serpent Society to be a hyper - realistic version of its derisory comic book counterpart , I want to see Giancarlo Esposito ’s Sidewinder strike Sam Wilson with a mutagen dud that turns him into a snake mutant .
While my like more than likely wo n’t come genuine , this yield still has me aroused about seeing the Serpent Society brought to the big screen for another reasonableness : they understand Captain America . The only mode the Serpent Society was able to mutate Cap is because they have it away he ’d skip over on the grenade to carry through everyone else , and they used that cognition to their vantage . That level of understanding will make them formidable villains in the MCU , even beyondCaptain America : Brave New World , as they ’ve proven they cognise how to horrifically tap Captain America ’s impuissance .

Is Captain America’s New Cap-Snake Form Actually Permanent?
Serpent Society ’s drawing card , Pit Viper , says that Captain America ’s translation into Cap - Snake is permanent , and that the Steve Rogers the Avengers fuck is gone forever . Could he be telling the verity ? candidly , I hope so . Human / animal hybrid mutants are one of my pet things in funny books , and to see someone as iconic and fabled as Captain America become one himself was a mickle of fun . I do n’t want this to just be a one - off , I want Cap - Snake to be a form that really lasts through more than a single story arc .
Marvel ’s bringing back a Greco-Roman super - soldier with an all - new feel in the coming Captain America series , ahead of Captain America : Brave New World .
Captain America ’s redesign is by all odds reminiscent of Saturday Morning Cartoons of the ‘ 90s , but that ’s what I love about it , and I hope the same matter will hap to Sam Wilson in the MCU . But , even if it does n’t , the fact that the Serpent Society was able-bodied to mutate Captain America like this at all in the comics make me very unrestrained about the evil organization ’s comprehension in theMCU , as they ’ve proven themselves a unfeigned threat toCaptain America .
