Real Name: Edward Lavell
Group: Serpent Society
First Appearance: Power Man and Iron Fist #92
(January, 1983)

"Ha! Hardy, you kill me. C'mon, everyone in this town knows you're a joke. The Spider played you good and now you got nuthin'. Not a penny to your name... and a name that ain't worth a damn. Now me? I made sumthin' of my self. Worked my way up the Maggia, from thug to a proper mob boss. I got real name in the underground now! I got juice! And what do you got?!"
—Eel

Lavell took over the super-powered costume and identity of the Eel from the original Eel, Leopold Stryke, who had died by then. As the new Eel, Lavell first ran afoul of Power Man and Iron Fist when he and Man-Mountain Marko unsuccessfully attempted to free the Maggia boss known as Hammerhead from police captivity while being transported to a new prison. Later, he was hired by the criminal Nightshade and assisted her in her attempt to rob the people attending a New York City society event. This time the Eel was defeated by Iron Fist and the former criminals Stiletto and Discus, whom Nightshade had tried to force to help her.
