Biography[]
Piet's Uncle Klaus, the first King Cobra, injected his nephew with the same mutagenic serum that first gave him his own superhuman abilities. Using these new powers for selfish means, Piet became a high-level international mercenary. He has performed operations in Southeast Asia, Bosnia, Central Asia and Chechnya.
More recently, King Cobra has become involved with an international cartel known as Chaeyi. He has been working to get stolen passports and visas to illegal aliens. His operations have brought him into conflict with Angela Del Toro - the new White Tiger.
