Black Mamba (Tanya Sealy) is a fictional character, a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She first appeared in Marvel Two-in-One #64 (June 1980) created by writers Mark Gruenwald and Ralph Macchio. The character is most closely associated with the Serpent Society and BAD Girls, Inc. but has also been a member of the Masters of Evil, the Femizons and the Women Warriors.

Her first mission was for the Roxxon Oil Company, which had given her her super powers. Alongside with Anaconda, Death Adder and SIdewinder they attempted to steal the Serpent Crown but were stopped by Thing, Stingray and Triton. The four would later form the core of the Serpent Society. In the Serpent Society she struck up a friendship with Asp and Diamondback. When Viper infiltrated and later took over the Serpent Society Black Mamba was one of the few members refusing to betray Society leader Sidewinder. Black Mamba, Asp and Diamondback helped Captain America defeat Viper and the rest of the Serpent Society.

Subsequently, Black Mamba, Asp and Diamondback formed "BAD Girls, Inc.", a group of adventures who on occasion would help Captain America and the Avengers out. During the Civil War she was opposed to the superhero registration, but later registered and served as part of the "Women Warriors", the official super hero team of Delaware. She later returned to the Serpent Society as well as its successor Serpent Solutions.
