Whiplash

Whiplash is a reptilian villain from the Masters of the Universe universe, serving among the evil forces opposing He-Man. A scaly, tail-wielding warrior, he menaces Eternia alongside notorious foes including Skeletor and the Evil Horde.

Whiplash crashed onto the page in 1984 — right in the thick of the Bronze Age — courtesy of artist Mike Sekowsky, debuting in the memorable Masters of the Universe: Mantenna and the Menace of the Evil Horde! and carving out a place in one of the era's most colorful fantasy universes. Published under Mattel's banner, this villain keeps dangerous company: the same stories feature He-Man, Prince Adam, Teela, the scheming Evil-Lyn, and the lord of darkness himself, Skeletor. Whiplash's appearances stretch across nearly three decades of Masters of the Universe comics, including the sinister Hordak — The Ruthless Leader's Revenge!, making this a character with real staying power in a world packed with unforgettable adversaries — well worth a look for any collector with a soft spot for the wild, imaginative excess of '80s fantasy comics.
