captured by the Taskmaster and the Black Ant on Kraven the Hunter's behalf. He was grouped with the Rhino, the Scorpion, Stegron the Dinosaur Man, the Tarantula, and Vulture as the Savage Six by Arcade. In this appearance, the Cobra was identified by Arcade as the King Cobra. During the "Sinister War" storyline, Cobra accompanied the Savage Six in attacking the movie theater that was playing the debut of the movie that Mysterio was involved in. When Spider-Man fought the Savage Six, he made a comment that he never fought this version of Cobra before. Powers and abilities Klaus Voorhees gained superhuman powers due to the combined mutagenic effects of the venom of a radioactive cobra and an experimental anti-venom. King Cobra is double-jointed, can dislocate and snap back into place his shoulders and hips at will, and has a phenomenal mastery of his musculature.

In the miniseries Toxin: The Devil You Know, King Cobra himself says: Piet Voorhees possesses certain unusual physical powers derived from his mutagenically altered physiology which, among other things, help him simulate the movement of a snake by using his great degree of independent control over every muscle in his body, enabling him to
