Profile: Viper is well named. Among his very "serpentine" qualities are attacks and transformations that hit like the lightning fast strike of a cobra. His venomous bite often takes the form of a barrage of lethal acid pellets. Yet an even better word to describe him would be "Toxic." Viper's personality is so destructively malevolent that just being around him negatively affects the mental health of his allies as well as his enemies. This emotional collateral damage concerns the "mad, bad, and dangerous to know" Viper not at all. His appetite for destruction sees no end and he speaks with a forked tongue, slithering his way around conversations with his scaly voice.

Abilities: Viper is armed to the teeth with all sorts of weaponry. His go-to weapon of choice is his machine gun, which fires acid pellets. Among his other weapons are laser guided missiles, which can be remotely controlled. His autocannon is capable of firing armour-piercing rounds. In alt mode, he has access to warheads that are loaded with shrapnel. Viper is also a skilled flyer, capable of pulling stunts at high speeds with relative ease.

Weaknesses: Viper’s bloodlust often tends to get the better of him, negatively affecting both himself and his allies in combat.
