Archibald Boomslang

:"Why? Why? Have you considered all the facts - like that I wanted to, and that it would be funny?"
Docfessor Archibald D. Boomslang is the son of Katherine Cobra and Brett Boomslang, and the cousin of Doctor Cobra. He is an outcast from the Cobra Family due to his repulsive personality.
== Character ==
=== Appearance ===
Boomslang has tall, messy pink hair. He is missing his left arm. While working/undercover, he wears a blue tie, a grey undershirt with the sleeves pinned up, dark blue trousers, grey shoes and reading glasses, and ties his hair back. 
While undisguised/wreaking havoc, however, he wears goggles with spiralled blue lenses, tucks his trousers into his shoes, and wears a laser cannon on his left arm. He often wields a large metal staff with a swirling blue spiral that hypnotises others.
Often he'll be seen wearing a blue lab coat with a backwards 'BS' pin on the lapel.
=== Personality ===
While undercover he takes on a friendly, attentive and approachable front, but is extremely manipulative and prying. He is narcissistic, reckless and mean, tending to have little sense of consequence. He is also an attention hog, and does despicable things just for a reaction. He has no concept of guilt and is aware of this.
=== Abilities ===
Despite seeming loopy he is incredibly crafty, and knows exactly how to pry into a person's head and pull their strings. Manipulative and deceiving, he has very few limits and is very resourceful, as well as a skilled hypnotist. He is also a notorious karma houndini, and is very skilled at avoiding his comeuppance. He has an arm cannon but does not have very good aim.
He is also incredibly agile and can jump 10 feet vertically from standing, a trait inherited from his former gymnast mother.
== History ==
Boomslang was always mischievous as a child, but notoriously suffered from poor empathy and discipline. He was manipulative towards both his peers and parents, but upon growing up, he realised that not everyone was that pliable. As such, he made a plan to prey only on the vulnerable, the ones he knew he could manipulate. He studied psychology and became a therapist, but along with slowly brainwashing his patients into following his every whim he had a hidden ace up his sleeve - hypnotism.
If his patients were stubborn or difficult, he'd whip out some spirals and subliminal messages and put them under his trance. Fashioning a hypno-staff, hypno-goggles and a good old-fashioned laser arm cannon, he took on the friendly guise of a therapist by day and the terrifying figure of Docfessor Boomslang by night, getting his patients to commit crimes and do his bidding.
Eventually, the Cobras decided that Boomslang'd gone too far, and Boomslang was blacklisted from the family. Although as a family of criminals and mad scientists the bar was pretty low, Boomslang had made an effort to limbo under it, orchestrating setbacks and disasters for many of his relatives - including but not limited to poisoning Malik Viper, ruining a series of interviews for Sylvester Cobra, spreading vicious rumours about Cassandra Cobra, ruining the grades of Johnny Cobra, and various offenses towards Paisley Corrn-Cobra, mostly regarding the spread of his nickname as 'Corncob'. He is no longer invited to any Cobra family meetings, and on his birthday they schedule extravagant parties without him in the hopes that the isolation will force him to learn his lesson.
He does not care.
He has not learned his lesson.
== Trivia ==
* He is fiercely illogical, and dislikes straightforward, practical plans.
* His goal is to be hired by the UNWD as their resident therapist, and be able to manipulate the agents.
* As he only wears small reading glasses while in his therapist disguise, his eyesight may be better than most other Cobras.
* It is unknown how he lost his left arm. He hypnotised himself into forgetting the incident.
* He is afraid of dolphins. He has partially hypnotised it out of himself.
* He owns a large manor somewhere. The only people to have visited are the UNWD in an attempt to apprehend him, and agents report that the interior is 'hideously coloured' with illogical architecture, bizarre geometries and features such as narrow tunnel passageways, high-up doors and staircases to nowhere.
