      • I know. I just don’t like that they’re melding two characters — Blacklash and Crimson Dynamo — to come up with this guy. But, we’ll see how it turns out …

        • Unless you’re talking about the Thunderbolt’s Blacklash; Whiplash was a long standing villian that changed his name to Blacklash after an upgrade in equpment then went back to Whiplash after another upgrade in equipment.

    • Smilin’ Bob should loan him some Enzyte for those lightsabers. Or Cialis, for up to 36 hours of readiness to kill your arch enemy.

      Seriously though, a “whip” seems inherently limiting in terms of creating a character to fight a guy who can fire repulsor rays from afar.

      • It’s never stopped him from being a worthy threat in the comics before. Isn’t that like telling spider-man he shouldn’t bother trying to beat the green goblin, who can fly and throw grenades from a distance?

        And Jacin B-

        Like Leloup said, Whiplash has been a pretty longstanding villain in Iron Man’s stories. This isn’t going to be a New Goblin deal or some nonsense of the sort. The only thing they seem to be borrowing are some of his motivation and the original Crimson Dynamo being his father.

          Apples and oranges my friend. It’s not a valid comparison because Spidey has various offensive and defensive capabilities, not just web spinning. All I’m saying is that a “whip”, even one hyped up with sparkly pixie dust, is still a weapon of proximity. Not a good look against a foe with long range capabilities.

          For the sake of dramatic tension, the movie must either augment Whiplash’s capabilities or neuter/impair Iron Man to some degree to make it a good fight.
