Rattler (Gustav Krueger) is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He first appeared in Captain America #310 (October 1985), created by writer Mark Gruenwald and artist Paul Neary. The name Rattler was also used by two Marvel comics characters from the Wild West era, both enemies of the Rawhide Kid. A fourth Rattler appeared in the Spider-Man newspaper comic strip, who gained superpowers after being bitten by a snake and treated with experimental anti-venom.
Krueger, as Rattler, was given a long bionic tail that emits sonic shockwaves to mimic his reptile namesake. He first appeared as part of the Serpent Society, a team of snake-themed villains for hire. During their first mission, they were opposed by Captain America, who would have several run-ins with the Society. Rattler was one of the Society members who sided with Viper when she took over the group, but remained with the group after she was deposed. At one point he was part of the Thunderbolts, but returned to the Serpent Society. He remained a member when the Society was reorganized into Serpent Solutions.
