Fraley made his debut as Puff Adder as part of the fourth version of the Serpent Squad alongside Copperhead, Fer-de-Lance and Black Racer, robbing a casino in Las Vegas.

Once part of the Society they help Viper take control of the Serpent Society and support her in a plot to take control of the President of the United States. The plot is eventually foiled by Captain America and several members of the Serpent Society who remained loyal to Sidewinder.
