We recently moved to a new host. We hope you enjoy the better performance.
Wasn't Whiplash a chick though?!
Whiplash and her husband Blacklash enjoy the pleasures of leather to the point that they decided to use this enjoyment to become leather clad assassins. The two have enjoyed various leather parties, some of which were also attended by Swordsman. When the Commission on Superhuman Activities persuaded the Thunderbolts to track down super-villains and recruit them to join the pro-registration side of the Superhuman Registration Act, Blacklash and his wife were convinced to join the Thunderbolts.
Whiplash was born in Wilmington, Delaware. She was a professional criminal, and a mutant with unrevealed abilities and she used adamantium wires which were connected to her gloves as whips. She was part of Critical Mass' mutant Band of Baddies. The Baddies kidnapped "Mr. Beck" and his mutant daughter in order to coerce them to join their band. They forced the daughter to knock out Spider-Man and Wolverine, but they quickly recovered. The daughter then unleashed her powers, blew up the warehouse they were in, and defeated all of the Baddies. Whiplash disappeared after the daughter's telekinetic explosion enabled her to get free.
In the Civil War, two other minor-league villains, one male, one female, have appeared bearing the names Whiplash and Blacklash. Both are past associates of the current Swordsman (Andreas von Strucker) and were frequenters of leather parties before taking up the name of the original Blacklash, who is now dead.
Ultimate WhiplashA male Whiplash has been mentioned, and has appeared, in Ultimate Iron Man #2.
