Collector note: This wave brings with it new packaging which, to me, isn't as good as the last. It does not state which collect-and-connect piece comes with each figure. I guess there are now, at least, 'collector buttons'.

BIOGRAPHY:

Mysterious and menacing, the man known only as Copperhead first emerged in Gotham City, carrying out a series of incredible thefts. When confronted, his poison fangs and constrictor coils were enough to defeat most opponents. Copperhead increased his powers by striking a deal with the demonic Neron, becoming a truly monsterous man/snake hybrid. In this horrific new form, he took on more lethal assignments as a super-assassin. His ghastly power and inhuman abilities make him one of the world's most frightening villains.
