Captain America 4 Super-Villain Cobra and Spider-Man Almost Share The Same Origin Story
Played by Seth Rollins in Captain America 4, Klaus Voorhees, also known as Cobra, is a notable character in Marvel Comics and has predominantly appeared as an antagonist to the X-Men.
Introduced in Journey into Mystery #98 (Nov. 1963), Cobra was created by the renowned writer Stan Lee and artist Don Heck. In his origin story, Voorhees worked as a laboratory assistant alongside a professor who aimed to develop a remedy for venomous snake bites.
Through a fortuitous combination of a radioactive cobra bite and an experimental anti-venom, Klaus acquired superhuman abilities, eventually adopting the moniker of the Human Cobra, which later evolved into simply Cobra.
It is worth noting that Cobra’s origin story bears a resemblance to that of Spider-Man, who gained his extraordinary abilities after being bitten by a radioactive spider. The parallel underscores the theme of unexpected circumstances leading to the emergence of superhuman powers in the Marvel Universe.

However, clues have emerged through the cast members involved. Harrison Ford will be replacing William Hurt in the role of Thunderbolt Ross, who now serves as the President of the United States.
