Viper!Trucker Jake Dare never wanted to be a hero. Then, during a trucking accident that spilled toxic waste into a swamp, Jake was bitten by radioactive snakes and transformed into a human serpent! Rejecting his powers, he drank his way into a job wrestling crocodiles in a carnival. But when criminals commandeered the circus, Jake used his powers to fight back and was surprised to find that beneath his gruff exterior dwelt an altruist. Now Jake Dare helps his “fellow man” as Viper, the human snake!
