Lasher

The alien Symbiote known as Lasher was created when the Life Foundation forced Venom to separate and spawn a new generation of Symbiotes which could be merged with mercenaries and marketed for their needs. Lasher was bonded to Ramón Hernández and trained to battle primarily with a series of whip-like bladed tentacles growing out of his back. After being defeated by Venom and Spider-Man, the Life Foundation team would beg Venom to train them to control their new Symbiotes, but after Brock refused to help, Hernández was murdered by Scream, driven mad by her own bonding.

The Life Foundation Symbiotes would eventually become United States property, and after the success of Agent Venom they were inspired to create Mercury Team, an army unit that would keep the Symbiotes drugged and only partially bond with them. While effective, Mercury was wiped out by Carnage, with Lasher and the others only surviving by bonding to one of the Team's attack dogs and escaping.

When Knull, the God of the Symbiotes, was reawakened, his call drove Lasher and numerous other Symbiotes mad - causing the former Mercury Team to overtake and forcibly bond to a rural town family, before body-swapping to The Maker, and being driven off by The Avengers, who seemingly killed Lasher once again.

Venom: Planet of the Symbiotes - Lasher
The first incarnation of Lasher was recreated in action figure form in the 1996 Spider-Man Sub-Line, Venom: Planet of the Symbiotes, which focused on Symbiote themed characters and primarily on the Life Foundation Symbiotes. While the package incorrectly identifies the name of his host as "Trevor", Lasher is based on his original host, Ramón Hernández, and his appearance throughout the original mini-series.

Lasher is a largely original sculpt featuring his signature back tentacles created out of a softer rubber to allow them to move freely, as well as original arm-mounted whip weapons. Lasher features an action feature, described on the box as "Tentacle Whipping Action"; the figure can be spun at the waist to wind up, and then released upon squeezing the legs, causing Lasher to spin and allow his tendrils to flail aggressively. An unfortunate side effect of this feature causes the waist to become loose, and it struggles to align properly.

The figure includes two accessories; a Symbiote effect piece that clips onto the figure's forearm, creating the appearance of a shield, and a small Symbiote piece encased in a translucent orange container.

Venom: Planet of the Symbiotes - Lasher (Variant)
One of the gimmicks of the Planet of the Symbiotes toylines included color swapped variant figures for each of the figures in the line. Lasher's secondary variant color scheme replaced the light green of his torso with white, and the darker green of the limbs with black. The paint was highlighted with red throughout the body, and a heavy red shadowing over his face.

As a straight repaint of the original figure, Lasher retains the same action feature as the original, and includes the same two accessories. The Symbiote shield effect piece is now colored in black to match his new limb coloration, and the encased Symbiote in the same color scheme.

Lasher (Lizard Series) (2018)
Released as part of Hasbro's Marvel Legends: Infinite Series line, Lasher was included in the 2018 Lizard Series, a set of Spider-Man themed characters. The figure is based on the original appearance of Lasher as a member of the Life Foundation while still bonded to Ramón Hernández.

Lasher is a repaint of the Superior Venom figure, itself a remold of the "Pizza Spider-Man" mold with new hands and feet reflecting the clawed nature of the Symbiotes. Lasher is further remolded with a new head and extra tentacle pieces sculpted in a pre-posed shape that can plug into four holes in Lasher's back.

Aside from these four pre-posed tendrils, Lasher does not include any additional accessories. The figure includes a Build-A-Figure piece for Lizard; the Lizard's head.
