History[]
Hiss and his brothers Silent and Cuss Weerd were mutants who fought alongside Johnny Alpha during the first mutant war. At the end of the war they became Strontium Dogs.
At some point they became trapped in the Hell-World dimension at the City of Hate. The three brothers managed to steal three tickets which would have allowed for their escape, only to be shot down by Alpha and his partner Wulf Sternhammer. However as death was impossible in Hell-World, they quickly regenerated from their wounds and promised revenge on the pair. Hiss' chagrin was understandable: Johnny's travelling companion Don had driven a truck at high speed so close to his head that most of the snakes growing there were severed. Even though they grew back later, that sort of injury isn't something a man forgives quickly.
After finally escaping the three put their plan of revenge into focus and became workers for the poacher Cruso Slugg. They led Slugg to the planet Blas in the Gallego system where they began to slaughter the native Gronks in their thousands for their master to eat. The Weerd brothers then sent out a fake SOS to attract Alpha and Sternhammer in an attempt to kill them.
Eventually Hiss and Cuss came to a stand-off with their pursuers in a swamp after Silent was eaten by a swamp-monster. They both went for their guns, but were too slow for Alpha and Sternhammer's lightning-fast draw speed and were shot down.
