In ''[[Neon Prime]]'', an earlier development version of ''Deadlock'', Lash owned a dojo. He taunted [[Kali]], a former [[Bear Pit]] competitor, for coming out of retirement only to go back to a 2 decade hiatus after losing to Bebop.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|Lash|file=Lash kill kali 01.mp3|transcription=Not gonna dunk on you, Kali.

In ~~this~~ version, Lash also used to date the character Ballista, and wanted to get them back after a break-up.
