Look. I know we have to allow some costumed criminals to operate within our territory to keep up appearances...But do we have to keep around such incredibly lame ones? I mean, L.A. is the second biggest city in the country. Shouldn't we show a little local, I don't know...Alice Hayes

Solicit Synopsis
"INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION" continues! The now-destitute TONY STARK begins his climb back to the top of the financial heap by bringing hope to Los Angeles' impoverished Imperio neighborhood, but THE PRIDE, secret masters of LA, just as desperately want to keep the people in chains. So they've hired the SERPENT SOCIETY to kill Tony Stark at any cost, and it's a duel to the death between SIDEWINDER and his squad of snaked-themed super villains! SSSSSS!
Notes
- This storyarc takes place around Iron Man #188.
- The Serpent Society appear here prior to the group's formation in Captain America #310. Some of them had previously worked together at this point as the Serpent Squad, and while Diamondback and Rattler were not introduced by this time, it's conceivable they were active and working with a preliminary version of Sidewinder's Society anyway. The most out-of-place member is Puff Adder, who doesn't join the Society until much later and only as an infiltrator to take over the group on Viper's behalf.
