Classification: Snake, Serpent, Reptile

Powers and Abilities:

  • Superhuman Physical Characteristics
  • Bodily Weaponry (Fangs)
  • Large Size (Type 1: The Titanoboa had an estimated size of about 13 meters[2])
  • Body Control & Gliding (Rather than flying, snakes can gide through the air as they have unique adaptations that allow them to move from tree to tree effortlessly.[3] These adaptations include ridged scales for climbing, the ability to flatten their abdomen and flare out their ribs to create a "pseudo concave wing," and a "pseudo-bipedal stance".[3][4] The genus Chrysopelea, commonly known as the flying snake or gliding snake, is known for its ability to glide between trees.[5] A study suggests that these snakes are active fliers, manipulating their bodies to aerodynamic effect[6])
  • Acrobatics/Surface Scaling (Despite appearances, snakes can actually be acrobatic, exhibiting various acrobatic behaviors, including sidewinding, tongue flicking, and aerial gliding.[7][8][3][9] For example, Brown Tree Snakes make a lasso with their tails to help them climb up wide trees,[9] and aerial gliding requires unique adaptations, such as elongated bodies, to perform such an acrobatic feat.[3] They are also incredibly adept at climbing and scaling vertical surfaces.[10][11][12] They use a combination of muscular body movements and specialized scales to grip different surfaces, including rocks, trees, walls, and even smooth surfaces like glass windows[11][13])
  • Enhanced Senses:
    • Enhanced Touch: Snakes possess highly sensitive tactile receptors throughout their elongated bodies, allowing them to detect subtle changes in their environment through ground contact.[14]
    • Enhanced Taste/Smell: Snakes have highly advanced chemosensory perception, using their bifid tongues to collect scent particles and transfer them to a structure called "Jacobson’s organ" for analysis, compensating for their limited eyesight and hearing.[14][15]
    • Enhanced Hearing: Snakes lack external ears but have powerful inner ears that detect low-frequency vibrations (50–1,000 Hz) through their body, enabling them to sense ground and aerial stimuli.[14]
    • Thermographic/Infrared Vision: Certain snakes, like pit vipers, pythons, and boas, have specialized pit organs that allow them to detect infrared radiation [heat] emitted by warm-blooded animals. This ability is akin to seeing heat but does not involve conventional vision. The same pit organs allow them to "map" heat sources, which could be interpreted as thermographic vision. However, this is more about heat detection than literal sight.[14][16][15]
    • Night Vision: Equipped with a tapetum lucidum, snakes have strong night vision and can detect infrared radiation, helping them locate warm-blooded prey even in low light. Some also have a 'third eye' for sensing changes in light and dark.[17]
  • Poison Manipulation & Blood Manipulation (There are around 600 snake species in the entire world that are actually venomous.[18] The Inland Taipan is widely considered the world’s most venomous snake.[19] The venom of one bite is strong enough to kill 100 men[20] due to it's exceptionally high levels of neurotoxins compared to other snakes that target the central nervous system, causing severe disruption to nerve function, also containing potent procoagulants that lead to blood clotting which further incapacitates the prey,[21] and what makes it even more deadly is an enzyme that helps accelerate the venom's absorption into the victim’s body.[19] The Boomslang's venom is a powerful hemotoxin, that when injected into an opponent, causes widespread blood clots in their blood, disrupting their circulatory system's ability to coagulate properly, and leading to severe internal bleeding from organs and orifices, resulting in death in an excess of internal bleeding from vital organs and every possible orifice [22])
  • Social Influencing:
    • Instigating Fear & Reputation: The Titanoboa's size, stealth, and ambushing hunting tactics made it one of the most feared creatures in it's environment.[23] They also have a fearful reputation due to misconceptions, myths, and negative perceptions,[24][25] and while humans may find snakes intimidating, they are more afraid of certain animals than they are of humans[26])
  • Camouflage/Stealth Mastery (Snakes are known for their stealth and ability to ambush their prey.[27] They have an elongated, flexible body that allows them to move silently and quietly through their surroundings. They can blend in with their surroundings using camouflage or flaunt vibrant colors to signal danger,[28] and despite their fearsome reputation, snakes are primarily focused on survival, employing stealth, speed, and sometimes venom to capture prey and avoid predators[29])
  • Sound Manipulation (Snakes communicate through hissing, which is a loud, high-pitched sound made by forcing air through their trachea.[30][31] These hissing sounds are typically warning signals meant to intimidate predators or intruders.[30][32][33] Rattlesnakes make a rattle sound that is produced by vibrating their tails, which have segments that rattle against each other. The rattle serves as a warning signal to predators and other animals that the snake feels threatened or cornered[32][34][35][36][37])

Resistance to:

Attack Potency: At least Wall level (Green Anacondas, which are the strongest current living snakes, are very strong and can grow to over 16.5 ft [5 meters] in length, with some being nearer 29.5 ft [9 meters] and can weigh over 441 lb [200 kg].[39] Anacondas have a constriction force of about 90 PSI, which is the rough equivalent of a 9,000-pound school bus sitting on your chest. They also have powerful jaws compared to other snakes, with an estimated bite force of 900 PSI.[40] The Titanoboa, which was the largest living snake in history, could grow up to 42.65 feet long [13 meters] and weigh around 1,437–4,010 pounds [652–1,819 kilograms].[2][41] The weight of the Titanoboa combined with the speed of the Sidewinder Rattlesnake would produce the kinetic energy of about this much eergy. It's diet included killing various different animals such as large fish, crocodiles, and other large snakes,[42] and it had a constriction force of at least 400 PSI[43]), higher via piercing damage (Had very sharp fangs and its bite force was coincidentally 400 PSI as well[44]). They can bypass conventional durability with their potent venom.

Speed: Below Average Human swimming speed (The Yellow-Bellied Sea Snake is the fastest snake in the water with a speed of 2.04 mph[45]) Athletic Human travel speed (The Sidewinder Rattlesnake is the fastest-moving snake overall, traveling at speeds of 18 mph[46]), Superhuman reaction speed (The fastest reaction time of a snake is approximately 30-70 milliseconds[47]), Subsonic+ attack speed (The Rattlesnake scored the highest measured striking acceleration, at 279 m/s2[48])

Lifting Strength: At least Class 5 (The Titanoboa weighed from around 652 kilograms to 1,819 kilograms,[41] and were strong enough to restrain struggling prehistoric crocs with ease[49])

Striking Strength: At least Wall level

Durability: At least Wall level (

Stamina: Athletic (Some

Range: Tens of Meters physically

Standard Equipment: N/A

Intelligence: Animalistic (TBA)

Weaknesses: Has.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

  • Constriction: Large snakes, like the anaconda, python, and boa constrictor are known for wrapping their bodies around their prey and crushing it to death before devouring it whole.
  • Venom: Snakes are also known for their venomous bites. The potent mixture of neurotoxins, cytotoxins, hemotoxins, and proteolytics within the snake's venom causes involuntary muscle contractions, prevents natural muscle contractions such as those within the heart, paralyzes nerves, ruptures cells, dismantles the molecular structure of the area around the venom, destroys red blood cells, and disables blood clotting.
  • Rattling: Using the rattle on the end of its tail, the snake can intimidate foes by emitting noises.
  • Pseudo-Flight: By thrusting its body away from a sufficiently high place, the snake is able to "fly" by sucking in its abdomen and flaring out its ribs to turn its body into a "pseudo concave wing", all the while making a continual serpentine motion of lateral undulation parallel to the ground to stabilize its direction in midair in order to land safely.
