Horatio Walters fancied himself a poet but gave up due to harsh criticism. During Junior High, a fellow student Bruce Morgan deliberately threw acid in Horatio's face during chemistry class. His features were hideously scarred and had taken on a corpse like appearance, Horatio became a recluse and began to identify with snakes because they were shunned like him, Horatio spent years studying and experimenting, becoming an expert snake charmer and developing immunity to most snake venoms.
Forced to be a loner, Horatio was befriended by N’Jadaka an embittered Wakandian expatriate. Years later N’Jadaka became a brutal revolutionary leader Killmonger, he was backed by a number of lieutenants, including Horatio, now known as Venomm.
