Sticks and stones MAY break your bones... but Whips and Chains WILL break your bones... at least when wielded by these folks!
Characters with lashing weapons... because let's face it... swords are overplayed.
The mistress of the lash, she is all about the soft weapons. Sometimes they look like belts with a metal tip, sometimes like regular whips, in Superman/Batman it was a steel wire with a spiked ball at the end. All of them cool. Really showed off in the Superman/Batman: Apokalypse cartoon movie.
The original whip lady. Could not have this list without her.
Chain weapon. One of the coolest, most under-used accessories in comics!!!
Multiple versions offer multiple takes on the weapon. From electrically charged run of the mill whip, to toothed energy ribbons, to the movie version. Also cool costumes as well.
Ginger locks she can manipulate, once she whipped Venom so bad the sonic boom almost got him killed.

She is a lady, who kills. Has a cool chain/whip weapon thing that she has wrapped around her waist... but I've never seen her use it :<
Debated wether this character actually belonged on the list... decided to go with it, make an exception for Justine.

He swings that chain like nobody's beeswax. He needs to use it more often though...
Member of the Emissaries of Evil, he has on occasion used a whip, although his main weapon is the sword.
