Edward Lavell

The second Eel first appeared in Power Man and Iron Fist #92 (April 1983). Edward Lavell was seen attempting to break Hammerhead out of prison. Later working with Nightshade, the second Eel was defeated again by Iron Fist and reformed criminals Discus and Stilleto. Lavell was a member of Justine Hammer's Masters of Evil, and was defeated by the Thunderbolts. After the Masters of Evil were apprehended, Lavell was next seen participating in the Bloodsport tournamnet at Madripoor. There, he put on a poor showing and was defeated by Toad, who seemingly crushed Lavell using his extremely long and poweful tongue. Lavell apparently survived, and has recently been apprehended by the Thunderbolts to serve in the so-called Thunderbolt Army. Following the disbanding of the Thunderbolt Army, Lavell has turned up as a member of a new Serpent Squad led by Sin, the daughter of the Red Skull.
