Copperhead is a criminal contortionist.
History
The New 52
Copperhead battled Black Canary in Baltimore. He was initially able to overpower Black Canary, due to not having ears, which rendered her screams useless. He was later blinded by a flashing billboard caused by the Justice League and defeated.
Copperhead was later recruited by a mysterious person to join the Secret Society of Super Villains in order to take advantage of the growing superhero community. Little did they know that the Injustice League was being formed against them. When he saw that Catwoman had knocked out Professor Ivo, Copperhead sped toward her and constricted her until she was unconscious. Copperhead, along with Signalman, is ordered to clean up her corpse. However, it is then revealed that Catwoman is actually a disguised Martian Manhunter, who was infiltrating the Society. He quickly defeats the two villains. Copperhead is then apprehended along with several other members of the Secret Society.
During the villains' reign under the Crime Syndicate, in the Secret Society's battle with Lex Luthor's Injustice League, Copperhead was killed by Deathstroke as the latter's signal that he had defected from the Secret Society to the Injustice League for the sake of his continued livelihood.
