Sidewinder (real name Seth Voelker) is a reformed super villain in the Marvel Comics Universe.
[edit] Fictional character biography
Seth Voelker was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin. As Sidewinder, he was originally hired by the Roxxon Oil Company to retrieve the Serpent Crown. Alongside the third incarnation of the Serpent Squad, Sidewinder was able to return the crown to company president Hugh Jones. However, after that stint, he decided to form his own criminal organization, the Serpent Society. With the ability to teleport, Sidewinder promised his recruits they would never be imprisoned. This attracted several snake-themed villains, and the Serpent Society was quite the success. He also had a romantic relationship with Black Mamba.
Later, Sidewinder was betrayed by his organization after Viper infiltrated the group. After being poisoned, he was aided by Diamondback and the two survived. He also helped Black Mamba and the Asp escape King Cobra's grasp. A robotic Sidewinder later appeared and was employed by King Cobra.
Most recently, Sidewinder was seen in an interview and has since retired from villainy.[citation needed]
