History:
In the 19th Century, the wealthy Don Fernando Suarez became the masked hero El Castigo ("The Whip") in order to protect the poor from oppression by wealthy Mexican landowners. The area where the Whip operated, including the village of Seguro, is now part of the Southwestern United States.

A century later millionaire Rod Gaynor (who was of Mexican descent) visited Seguro and found many of El Castigo’s belongings, then became the new Whip to protect the poor from exploitation and injustice. For a time the Whip was based in Seguro, but later he went to New York City to fight crime there. The Whip was a member of the wartime All-Star Squadron. It is not known what happened to him after 1944.

Powers:
The Whip was a fine hand-to-hand combatant, a superb horseman, and a master in the use of the whip as a weapon.
