Poison (Final Fight)
is a fictional character in the ''Final Fight'' and ''Street Fighter'' series of video games. Created by Akira Yasuda for Capcom, Poison first appeared in the original ''Final Fight'' alongside a similar character, Roxy, later appearing in Capcom-produced games, media and merchandise related to the ''Street Fighter'' franchise. She is voiced by Atsuko Tanaka since the ''Street Fighter III'' series and Masae Yumi in '' SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos''. Originally conceived as a female thug in ''Final Fight'' and part of the game's antagonist group, Mad Gear, concerns during the game's development about reactions from North American audiences to fighting women led to the character being re-imagined as a " newhalf". However, that was not considered satisfactory and both Poison and her palette swap Roxy were replaced by the male characters "Billy" and "Sid" and have been for every subsequent North American port of the title on Nintendo consoles and handhelds.

A whip is a tool or weapon designed to strike humans or other animals to exert control through pain compliance or fear of pain. They can also be used without inflicting pain, for audiovisual cues, such as in equestrianism.

The former is easier and more precise, the latter offers longer reach and greater force. A hunting whip combines a firm stick (the stock or handle) with a flexible line (the lash or thong). Whips such as the " cat o' nine tails" and knout are specifically developed for flagellation as a means of inflicting corporal punishment or torture on human targets.
