Real Name: Mark Michael Scarlotti

Aliases: Blacklash, Mark Scott

Group Affiliation: B-Team; Death Squad; Maggia; operative of Justin Hammer

History: As a Maggia weapons designer, Mark Scarlotti desired a greater challenge and thus became the costumed field agent Whiplash, who initially fought Iron Man to a standstill.  Sometime later, Whiplash infiltrated Stark International as Mark Scott, and eventually clashed with Iron Man again, though he managed to escape.  Later still, Scarlotti had his arsenal updated by criminal financier Justin Hammer and renamed himself Blacklash.  Often operating as part of Hammer's B-Team, Blacklash continually met defeat at the hands of Iron Man.  Eventually Scarlotti revived his Whiplash identity, taking on a more S&M motif, and with even more advanced weaponry, accepted a contract on Tony Stark, though he was again defeated by Iron Man.  Returning for a rematch, Whiplash was killed by Iron Man's sentient armor.

Paraphernalia: Whiplash wielded two cybernetically-controlled whips with various capabilities, including conversion to nunchakus or vaulting poles, anti-gravity bolas, ability to channel energy charges, and presumably others uncatalogued.  His costume was composed of bulletproof fabric.  Toward the end of his career, Whiplash used a flying platform whose exact capabilities are unknown.
