| Seth Voelker, an untenured college level economics teacher who was dismissed from his position, applied for a job as a financial analyst at one of Roxxon Oil Company’s major branches. Getting the job, Voelker soon became aware of the scope of some of Roxxon’s extralegal activities. Eventually tiring of his position, Voelker volunteered for training and/or mutagenic alteration at the Mutagenic Laboratory at Roxxon’s subsidiary Brand Corporation. Voelker was surgically implanted with a small device which would permit him to mentally activate the dimensional aperture opening circuitry incorporated in his cloak. Given the name sidewinder because of his ability to move sideways through interdimensional space, Voelker became the leader of the new Serpent Squad. |
