Merge:Lasher

Lasher is a supervillain from the Spider-Man comic books. He is one of the six symbiote spawns of Venom from the Venom: Separation Anxiety 4-issue mini-series. He is prominently green. He has five symbiote brothers and sisters, including Carnage, and a nephew in Toxin.

Character history


His host is called Ramon. Like the other LF symbiotes, he was a volunteer for the Life Foundation Organization, an organization that was preparing for the M.A.D. fallout of the Cold War and provide a comfortable life for their wealthy clients after the impending nuclear holocaust. The Life Foundation was experimenting with the Venom symbiote in the hopes of making supercops to watch over their imagined fallout shelter utopia. He was picked from the organization's security force made up of cops, soldiers, and mercenaries. Ramon had wanted to be a hero, but like the other LF symbiotes was having trouble controlling his symbiote and this lack of control over the alien inside him kept resulting in violence. He was defeated by Venom and Spider-Man in Venom: Lethal Protector. Lasher and the other LF symbiotes broke Eddie Brock out of prison and kidnapped him in a last ditch effort to communicate with their alien "others". Ramon, the host was killed by Scream in Venom: Separation Anxiety and what was left of the Lasher symbiote combined with all of his sisters and brothers (except Carnage and Scream) to form one new symbiote, an antihero called Hybrid.

Power and abilities
Lasher possesses all the powers the original Venom has, including suit generated webbing, shape-shifting, superstrength and the inability to be detected by Spider-Man's "spider-sense". In addition, Lasher has the capability of creating thick green mucus from his suit that crushes its victim under its weight as well as using the tentacles from the suit to "lash" or grab its victim.
