Blacklash/Whiplash

Blacklash/Whiplash ist der Name mehrerer fiktiver Figuren aus den von Marvel Comics veröffentlichten amerikanischen Comics. Jede Whiplash ist ein Superschurke im Marvel-Universum, wobei die erste und die neueste Figur als Mitglieder von Iron Mans Schurkengalerie auftreten. Die ursprüngliche Whiplash (Mark Scarlotti) ging auch unter dem Namen Blacklash. Mickey Rourke verkörperte die neueste Whiplash (Ivan Vanko) im Film Iron Man 2 (2010) aus dem Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Fähigkeiten : Mark Scarlotti, courtesy of Justin Hammer, wears a bulletproof costume and wields a pair of cybernetically-controlled titanium whips that can extend to be swung fast enough to deflect bullets, or become rigid and be used as nunchaku or vaulting-poles. He also carries a variety of devices in a weapons pouch, including anti-gravity bolas and a necro-lash which releases electrical energy generated by his gauntlets. Scarlotti is a research engineer and weapons design specialist, with a college degree in engineering. Leeann Foreman wears two gauntlets containing three spring-loaded retractable omnium steel whip-like cables on each of her arms. Each cable can extend a maximum length of about 25 feet and contains needle-sharp adamantium barbs on the tips. She wears a padded costume of synthetic stretch fabric laced with kevlar, leather shoulder padding, and steel breastplates and mask, which provides her some protection from physical damage. The unnamed Whiplash and Blacklash have no apparent superhuman abilities, relying on advanced energized whips. Anton Vanko possesses a suit of armor equipped with two energy whips built into the wrists. The whips are shown to be powerful enough to slash through a metal staircase, as well as deflect a barrage of gunfire. He is also a skilled athlete and possesses a deep understanding of robotics, enough that he was able to fashion his suit from a destroyed piece of Stark technology.
