Background[]
Personality[]
Quickwhip is a sarcastic, fast-talking woman with a penchant for getting herself in and out of trouble. At first glance, she comes off as just another hapless villain who is constantly on the run. However, she quickly reveals herself to be a frightened and vulnerable woman who has dreams and desires of her own. When given the opportunity, she shows her true self as a passionate person who is defenseless against how people view her. To hide this, she puts up a jokey front and tries to keep a smile on her face.
Physical appearance[]
Quickwhip is a tall, well-built, African-American woman with a tall flat top hairstyle and noticeable green eyes. When she first appeared, she wore a sleeveless black suit and tie, black mask, and had red bullseye marks on her shoulders. She also had large black mechanical wristbands that produced long metallic whips.
Abilities[]
Quickwhip's main weapon are a pair of metallic whips that are produced from mechanical wristbands she wears. While she uses them like typical whips, she also uses them to swing around the city, à la Spider-Man. She is also a very talented chef, and cane bake a variety of pastries.
Appearances[]
Quickwhip made her first appearance in "Ride or Die". Her real name is Zakiya and grew up wanting to be a Michelin star chef. Upon moving to New York City, she found it very difficult and expensive to live and showed off her talents on the street just to get by. She was discovered by Lady Bullseye who trained her into becoming her right hand woman. Upon realizing that she strayed far from her goal, Quickwhip fled from the Diabolical Darts, at some point encountering Moon Girl.
Moon Girl eventually caught Quickwhip, but due to circumstances, was forced to be hand delivered to S.H.I.E.L.D. They took the subway where they were confronted by Lady Bullseye. During this time, Quickwhip revealed her history to Moon Girl who began to sympathize with her and together they defeated Lady Bullseye and the Diabolical Darts. Rather than turn her in, Moon Girl decided to have Quickwhip start over by working at Bubbe Bina's bakery.
Trivia[]
- Quickwhip shares many similarities to the various Marvel Comics characters who have possessed the name Whiplash, specifically the Marco Scarlotti incarnation and the unnamed female Thunderbolts member version.
