When Mark returned to his original alias of Whiplash, he also upgraded his armaments with a kinetic whip, a cat-o-nine-tails, and a whip made of super conductive filament in order to channel lightning as an offensive weapon."Ĭrimson Dynamo is a power armor-wearing Russian agent who first appeared in Tales of Suspense #46. He also used anti-gravity bolas, heavy gravity bolas, and various other devices also of his own design. As both Whiplash and Blacklash, Scarlotti used a necro-lash which could be electrically charged by his gauntlets, released from its handle to deliver a concussion charge, or he could turn up the electric charge to its maximum which caused anything it hit, including Iron Man's armor, to become brittle. The whips could be spun so fast that they could even blow Spider-Man's webbing away from Scarlotti preventing him from being ensnared. According to Marvel's case files, "Whiplash designed two cybernetically controlled whips that could be converted into nunchakus or vaulting poles. Scarlotti is lured into developing weapons for an international crime syndicate and then for himself. In the comic books, Whiplash is Mark Scarlotti, brilliant engineer and weapons designer who becomes the head of research for Stark International Cincinnati. Ivan is described as "Tony Stark's Russian alter ego, a heavily tattooed bruiser who is in the arms trade and battles Iron Man in his own nuclear-powered armored suit." Variety initially hinted that Rourke's character would be Crimson Dynamo (pictured above), but THR says that Ivan becomes Whiplash, a man "with deadly, technologically enhanced coils."So I'm unsure which report is correct. Last night it was revealed that Rourke has been added to Sly Stallone's action hero team-up film The Expendables, and today Variety reports that Mickey is in talks to join the cast of Jon Favreau's Iron Man 2 as the potential villain. His highly praised performance in Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler has given the actor's career a jump-start.
