[edit] Fictional character biography
A skilled martial artist, Snapdragon was hired to defeat the Black Widow in Japan. She succeeded on her mission, but Black Widow soon regained her composure and quickly dispatched Snapdragon. Later, Snapdragon joined Superia's Femizons and became one of her lieutenants. There, she found long-time enemy Diamondback. The two were trained by Anaconda in Taskmaster's Academy, but Diamondback had subsequently dishonored Snapdragon in some form. While on the S.S. Superia cruise ship, Snapdragon apprehended Diamondback and threw her off, leaving her to drown. Diamondback eventually recovered and received the super-soldier serum in one of her misadventures, and during their rematch, choked Snapdragon to death. Her body was returned to Japan and cremated by her brother, Kono[1]. Later, the name Snapdragon was taken by Rachael Leighton after she began working for Superia as payment for finding a cure for the glitch in the super-soldier serum[2]
