Anaconda
Real
Name: Blanche "Blonde" Sitznski Occupation: Ex-steelworker, now freelance criminal Legal Status: United States citizen with no criminal
record as of yet Former Aliases: None known Place of Birth: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Marital Status: Single Known Relatives: None Group Affiliation: Serpant Squad II, Serpant Society Base of Operations: Mobile First Appearance: MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE #64
History: Blanche Sitznski was selected by executives
in the Roxxon Oil Company to be a special agent in covert
operations. At the Mutagenics Laboratory of Roxxon's now-defunct
subsidiary, the Brand Croporation, Sitznski was bioengineered
to have various permanent serpentine adaptations. Her
first mission, as part of the new Serpent Squad, was to
retrieve the ancient power object called the Serpent Crown
for Roxxon president Hugh Jones. Following this mission,
Anaconda and two of her fellow Serpent Squad cohorts left
Roxxon to become mercenaries for hire. Recently, Anaconda
was invited to join the Serpent Society by her former
associate Sidewinder. After some persuasion, she accepted
and has been an active member ever since.
Height: 6 ft. 2 in. Weight: 220 lbs. Eyes: Green Hair: Blonde Unusual Features: Anaconda has scales on her face,
neck, and chest, and small fins on her cheeks.
Strength Level: Anaconda possesses superhuman strength
enabling her to lift (press) approximately 2 tons on land
under optimal conditios. Using her strength to constrict
rather than lift, Anaconda has a grip that cannot be broken
by those whose strength exceed her own by factors up to
30.
Known Superhuman Powers: Anaconda possesses the
ability to elongate her limbs, entwine them around persons
or objects, and constrict. The entire skeletal structure
of her arms and legs has been replaced by artificial Adamantium
alloy-based bones in the basic configuraton of a snake's
bodily skeleton. Her arms, normally 24 inches from armpit
to wrist, and her leg, normally 35 inches from hipbone
to ankle, are able to elongate to about one and a half
times their normal length. When she extends her limbs
in this fashion, the muscle tissue gorges with blood,
swelling the limbs so that each looks like a massive,
powerful snake. These four constricting limbs are capable
of exerting enough pressure to radically deform a one
inch-thick steel tube, two feet in diameter. Once Anaconda
has fully entwined her serentine limbs around a human-sized
foe, there are few human beings able to get sufficient
strength to break her grip.
Anaconda has been surgically given artificial gills to
enable her to extract oxygen from water in order to breath.
She can now breath while underwater indefinitely, as well
as breath on land. As a by-product of the extensive bio-engineering
done to her body, Anaconda possesses superhuman recuperative
abilities. Her body can heal from ant non-fatal wound
many times faster than a normal human beings.
