Lash is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character is an Inhuman. Created by writer Charles Soule and artist Joe Madureira, he first appeared in Inhuman #1 (June 2014), and plays a key role after the release of the Terrigen Mists around the globe at the conclusion of the "Infinity" storyline.[1]

Lash appeared in the third and fifth seasons of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., portrayed by Matt Willig as Lash and Blair Underwood as his human alter-ego Andrew Garner, previously introduced in the second season.

  1. ^ Yehl, Joshua (March 7, 2014). "Marvel's Next Big Thing: Inhuman with Charles Soule and Joe Madureira". IGN. Retrieved September 12, 2015. Lash is an Inhuman. He is one of those hidden Inhumans, who is not part of the royal family. He did not live on Attilan. He is basically emerging into the light now as a result of the events in Infinity, particularly the release of the Terrigen Cloud. So he lives in a city that we saw in Infinity called Orollan, which was where Thane, son of Thanos, was found. ... The idea was that that city only has one tiny splinter of Terrigen Crystal, which meant it couldn't do the Terrigenesis ritual that Inhumans go through at maturity to sort of figure out what their powers are going to be. People of Orollan had to be very, very selective about it and could only grant that to people they thought would get good powers. So it was almost more of a religious thing for them, more than it was just a part of Inhuman life.
    So now that Terrigen Mists are circulating around the world and any Tom, Dick and Harry with Inhuman genetic code can go through Terrigenesis, he finds that to be blasphemy and heretical. So what he is doing is essentially travelling the world and trying to do what he can to stop that heresy and to bring things back in line with how he thinks Terrigenesis should be approached in the world.
