From the glorious 1984 lineup, this is Copperhead.

The design was perfect almost 40 years ago, and it holds up. My only design change was to remove the helmet to show off a skuzzy smile.

Looks great.

Thanks!

This is a character that should've caught on more than he did. Maybe not at the Storm Shadow or Firefly level, but just a notch down. Instead, he had a brief run around issue #26-28-ish, then faded away. Seemed like a Special Missions appearance would've been perfect.

I never noticed that he didn’t show up much at all in the comics. Guess there was just way too much going on to remember poor Copperhead. Nice job!

Great take. I tend to lump in him with the 'Noks these days, given his colors and swampiness.

In fairness to Hama, it was a never ending waterfall to new characters and toys to introduce, and they can't all make the cut.

That would have been a good, and organic way, to keep him in the mix more.
